Big Games

Posted on by

Get the batteries for your remote changed because on Saturday there are some big games.

MONTANA

The #5 Montana Grizzlies (12-1) are hosting the #10 Weber State Wildcats (10-3) Saturday at noon in Missoula. This is the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) quarterfinals. The game will be televised. The Griz will need to come out ready to play.

In Helena, the #1 Carroll College Saints (12-0) will be hosting the #7 Lindenwood Lions (11-1) at noon Saturday. The winner goes to the NAIA National Championship. This game will also be televised. Will the forfeit the Saints received last week help or hurt them?

Major College Football

Before the Montana teams play, viewers can get ready by watching the first part of the Navy (7-4) vs. Army (3-8) game: You can throw out the records. The game starts around 10:00 am Montana time.

Probably the biggest game of the day is No. 1 Alabama (12-0) vs. No. 4 Florida (11-1) for the SEC Championship. The game starts at 2:00 p.m. Montana time, so us fans may have to click between three games. The winner probably gets to the National Championship game. Both beat LSU and Georgia. This will be a good one. Florida lost by one point to Mississippi. Florida has been down this road before, so will the nerves get to Bama? Forrest Gump may attend the game, I hear.

At 6:00 p.m. Montana time, the Missouri Tigers (9-3) and the Oklahoma Sooners (11-1) play in Kansas City for the Big 12 Championship. The Texas Longhorns need Missouri to beat Oklahoma to have a shot at the National Championship game. The Sooners have owned the Tigers for many years. Can Mizzou play the perfect game and send the BCS into another nightmare? Being a Mizzou fan, I’d like to see it, but the Tigers have not played too many perfect games this year. M-I-Z-Z-O-U

#5 USC (10-1) will play UCLA (4-7) at 2:30 Montana time. USC may run up the score to try and get into the BCS Championship game. A few things will need to fall into place for USC to have a chance at a National Championship game, but stranger things have happened!

That’s it. Better check those remotes!

  1. Auntie Lib: Thanks for the yank! I doubt I have time to write about Sunday’s games, until Monday! -Jack

  2. Auntie Lib: I saw Craig’s comments on Twitter and informed him that two different Networks are carrying the late afternoon games – Fox is doing Cowboys/Steelers and CBS is doing the Broncos/Chiefs. As far as I can tell by this website: http://www.the506.com/nflmaps/ both will be shown in Montana. The Broncos may be putting it together finally – we’ll see if they win a game they should! -Jack

  3. Ok – I know you were just talking about Saturday games, but I had to yank your chain a bit and I didn’t want to miss the opportunity in case you don’t do a post on tomorrow’s games.

  4. You sorta forgot to mention the Bronco – Charger match on Sunday. Craig over at mtpolitics was dissing it on Twitter yesterday. But I stuck up for you. Any insights on which Bronco team shows up? That always makes such a difference. LOL.
