WE BELIEVE! A simple message that says so much, and the chosen theme for the journey to Frisco, Texas.

University of Montana Sports Information Director Eric Taber tells us today (Friday) that UM Athletics is urging all Griz football fans to line the streets of Missoula for the official “We Believe National Championship Sendoff” and show your support for the team as it heads to the airport for the title game in Frisco against South Dakota State.

DAY, TIME, ROUTE

The Grizzlies will depart from the University Center on the UM campus on Wednesday, January 3, at 12:45 p.m. The team busses will then travel through downtown Missoula via Broadway on its way to the airport. The Grizzly team busses will stage outside of the University Center in Parking Lot V, near the tennis courts on the University of Montana campus. The caravan will travel northwest along Campus Drive before turning right onto the Madison Street Bridge.
