Well, it wasn't what you'd call a big jump, but it's one more step towards the top of the rankings. After their smoke-filled 34-14 victory over Liberty on Saturday (and you thought the UM campus was smoke-free), our Montana Grizzly football team moved up one notch in the FCS weekly coaches poll. The Griz are 11th this week. North Dakota State is #1. Those naughty MSU Bobcats are 2nd. Appalachian State suffered a Griz hangover, the effect of an all-out effort to beat Montana (which they did at home September 8th). Their next game? Hey, get us some nesting materials for all these eggs being laid! A 52-28 loss, again at home, to The Citadel. That cost them their #7 spot in the poll,  dropping the Mountaineers to #18. Congrats to The Citadel, moving up to #14 this week. And on behalf of the Griz, you're welcome!  And our climb has begun. Bring on NAU for Homecoming!  DB
