Bobcat/Grizzly rematch no longer in FCS semifinal storyline

It was all there.
Bobcats. Grizzlies. Lunatic fans. All together in Washington-Grizzly Stadium in Missoula. Do-or-die for both teams.
One would move on to play in the Football Championship Subdivision Championship Game. The other would stay at home in disappointment.
The No. 4 Grizzlies set the plan in motion Dec. 9 by routing No. 5 Northern Iowa, 48–10 on ESPN. UM quarterback threw for three touchdowns and 196 yards and secured that team’s next primetime TV showing slated for Dec. 16.
And then it happened. Montana State lost to No. 1 ranked Sam Houston State last weekend in Huntsville, Texas, 49–13.
Now it’s a new storyline. UM, rather than having a rematch of the Brawl of the Wild under the Friday night lights in Missoula, will head to Huntsville in a more arduous route to the FCS Championship game.
The 13–0 Bearkats season included a victory over an FBS team (albeit an overtime win over the lowly, 1–11 New Mexico Lobos). The team has won every game this season by an average 26 points. This season is the team’s first time finishing within the top 25 since 2004.
Sam Houston brings with its flawless season a history of shaky play. This year’s No. 1 finish was the first time the Bearkats finished within the top 25 since 2004.
The Grizzlies’ long list of playoff appearances and late-season pushes for the FCS Championship make it a contender. It, too, finished out of the rankings last season and missed the playoffs in coach Robin Pflugrad’s first season as head of the team.
Sam Houston’s high-scoring offense paired up against the Grizzlies’ strong backfield and, at times, explosive offense, will make this game exciting.
Don’t miss it out of spite for the Bobcats’ late season fallout.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.

Noon until 6PM.
