FCS Playoff Game: Montana vs. South Dakota State

What a showdown we have on our hands inside Washington-Grizzly Stadium this Saturday afternoon, eh? The #3 Montana Grizzlies welcome in the #14 South Dakota State Jackrabbits at high noon on Saturday, December 6. It is, in my mind, the matchup of the weekend.

Get your tickets now to cheer on the Grizzlies. 

The Montana Lady Griz play the St. Thomas Tommies at 7 pm inside Dalberg Arena on Saturday night, too.
