Bobcats Announce 2008 Football Slate
4/1/2008 12:00:00 AM | Football
Montana State opens and closes its regular season against Grizzlies, and in between faces a pair of schools from BCS leagues, two regional non-league foes, and a challenging Big Sky slate, MSU Athletic Director Peter Fields announced Tuesday.
The Bobcats' August 30 opener against the Adams State Grizzlies matches the earliest season-opening date in school history, and the Bobcats follow that contest with visits to national power Kansas State (September 6) and Big 10 foe Minnesota (September 13). MSU closes its non-league slate hosting South Dakota on September 27.
The Bobcats open league play at Idaho State, its most-common league-opening opponent, then hosts Weber State for Homecoming on October 11 and Eastern Washington for Family Weekend a week later. The Bobcats also host Northern Colorado and Portland State in Big Sky games, visiting Sacramento State and Northern Arizona before the season-ending Cat-Griz game.
