Let's FILL the BILL. I've been looking forward to this game since I left Missoula after the Sept. 2012 game. This is the game that will really let us know what this team has. Should be a top 15 matchup. Let's get the discussion started.

Considering it's CFAW and Parents' Weekend--and we're playing Montana--that shouldn't be a problem.

Hmmm. Looks like this will be my opportunity to see the game from a different perspective one last time.

Mmmmm, no job change. I'll just get to re-wear my favorite game day attire for the first time in a couple of years.

It's going to get "sweaty" in there.

Will it be old school or new school?

In addition to all the other excitement surrounding this EXTREMELY important matchup against a perrenial FCS powerhouse, this will be a HUGE weekend for recruiting in all sports. Multiple football prospects on campus as well as at LEAST 2 basketball recruits, including 3 star SF Brock Gardner dfrom Arizona, who has been by all appearences McKay´s primary target for the 2016 class, and who knows how many in other sports.

Sounds like Club Level will sellout. Only a few seats left as of noon yesterday. I think that will be a first.

Weather report looks promising. Sunny and high of 85. Hopefully it will have cooled down somewhat by game time.

I'll be really suprised if we don't beat the attendance record. CFAW and Parents Weekend really aren't supposed to be the same weekend. Most halls have an additional 15-20 students and their accompanying family in town. Additionally it seems like the students are still really excited for this game.

This will be my last home game for the foreseeable future as we are moving to Denver at the end of the month. I feel like this is the perfect home contest to go out on. I know we've had big home wins against conference foes but its been a long time since we've had such a big time FCS player come to town. Would love to get this W.
It will also go a long ways towards an at large bid, should the need arise.

Damien Sordelett has tweeted that Kendall Couman will have surgery on his left knee and is out for the season.

Time for Will Johnson to step up. We need to see more plays from the big guy like the one he made at WVU.

There are certainly worse places to land. I have a bunch of clients up that way. Perhaps we can connect some time. Just steer clear of the streets lined with apothecaries. Desperate folk in those parts.

Really excited about this one. Probably been a while since we hosted a game with both teams in top 15. Maybe one of our games against Coastal was. I have a class Saturday at Regent until 3!!! I hope to make it back for kickoff. Any idea how long of a trek that is from Regent's campus?

You can do it in less than 4 hours.

We love the area...I spend the work week in a suit and tie so I love that I can spend the weekends in the mountains. It also puts us within driving distance of the family.
Only down side is I'm not the only one moving to the area. The crazy growth their has rent on par with Chicago.

Cost of living in Denver was bad before the shale boom and has gotten crazy the past few years. But with commodity prices low, the Niobrara impact should be lessened considerably right now. Some of the commute times for friends of mine in Denver are similar to NOVA & Houston. But those mountains make it all worthwhile.

I'll be listening on The Journey app while sitting at a band competition this Saturday. Hoping the cell signal (and my battery) hold out.

Hope so, I don't have a lot wiggle room if I am going to make kick off.
