App state wins in playoffs!

Mountaineers tame Grizzlies, we don't get 'et by 'em!


Armanti Edwards does look like a special once-in-a-generation player.
Trouble is--playing away from home on a rock-hard, windy, ice-covered
field will undoubtedly turn that usually reliable advantage into half
frozen molasses.

The grind-it-out team with the bigger front lines (the Griz) will
dominate. Note too the Grizzlies have scored well over 100 points (sic)
just in the last two playoff games.

Okay Sandy, I'm sensing some hostility toward your eastern breatheren.

How about a small wager, say a box of hand tied flyz goes to the winner--if
I win, you will be one of this year's two time losers, as my tie flying
skills are even worse my ability to write grammatically correct sentences!

Flyz of any sort should be acceptable (that is wet, dry, streamer, nynph...)
and limit the number to 25.

What ya say, flyz due the winner by Super Bowl game day 2010.

And since them Grizzlies is so fur-o-sious, you front me 2 points

That's right, them mean ole hairy beast have to beat us by 2!

Op --throwing down the gauntlet--

I never tied a nynph before. But this is basically a good idea.
But 25 is way too many. Also, due the fact I *always* lose sports
bets, I've decided to back the App State Hill Billies.
I voted for McCain for the same reason. I knew Obama would win
if I supported McCain. And it worked.

So I'll bet 6 flies App State wins. The Grizzlies owe me a favor.

So let me get this straight? If Appstate wins, you send me six flies, and if
Appstate loses, you send me six flies. Why don't we just forget the bet and
you just send me twelve flies :~^ )

Seriously, if App wins--I get 6 flies from you and if Montana wins--you get
6 flies from me. If they tie, Frank Reid has to send both of us a box of 200
flies, each!

Got that Frank? A tie means you lose big!

I can only hope that there will be a *first ever* tie in a Div. I-AA
Championship semi-final game.

Ok. six flies it is.
Stephen F Austin State, who lost 51-zip last Saturday,
came in as the highest scoring team in division II this
year, averaging over 40 points per game.
The Grizz were obviously better. But not 51-zip better.

SFAustin wadn't really all that bad. They just couldn't handle
the arctic cold. Life isn't fair. Never has been. Won't be on Sat
neither.

The 7 day forecast for Missoula shows 12 degrees Friday night, and a
high of 29 degrees and snow on game day Saturday. That's positively
tropical for the Grizzlies. I'd guess some of the Grizz Nation will be
doing that Cotton Eyed Joe dance semi nude if this hot weather
persists.

It's true. The weather breaks on Friday and the banana belt comes back.
It's 22 below zero right now, on my front porch.
