Play Ball!

Usually this time of year when you hear "play ball" you are thinking baseball, but not today. It's Game Day. Griz football. I love Game Day in Missoula! Who doesn't?

This game day is a little different for a few reasons.

1)  It is a not a real game but a scrimmage.

2) It will not be a crisp fall day but a gorgeous spring day.

3) When the sun goes down we do not need to file out of Washington Grizzly and head home because we now have lights. Let there be light! And there will be.

4) Tickets are only $5!

5) And the football coach had 40 minutes to decide if he wanted the job, not even a month ago.    But, that's a whole nother blog.  http://bit.ly/IBxhe9

But, it's a Game Day nonetheless. People around town are pumped. Grocery stores are filled with shoppers getting some last minute goodies for their tailgates. Campers are being packed not for camping but to get to their tailgate spots. The UM cheerleaders and dance squad are getting ready to face paint and put tattoos on kids. The GSA tailgate is going to have tons of activities for kids of all ages. Food and beverages will be available. It's going to be an awesome day to be a Grizzly. But when isn't it?  http://bit.ly/HJClKG
