Cold-weary fans can catch Griz on TV

University of Montana football fans not willing to brave the cold this weekend will be able to watch their beloved Griz live, the Big Sky Conference announced Tuesday.

UM’s quarterfinals match against Southern Illinois will be carried on KPAX, who has televised every UM game this season, except for the season opener against Iowa. However, stepping to the mic this weekend will be ESPN’s Dave Armstrong, while Kelly Stouffer will provide the color commentary. The game will also be televised live on the Montana News Stations in Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Great Falls, Helena and Kalispell.

Kickoff is at 12:35 p.m. A tape-delayed version of the game will be available on ESPN GamePlan at 7:30 p.m.

Montana State’s second-round match against top-seeded Appalachian State will be televised on ESPN2. Kickoff is at 2:05 p.m.
