Help send the Griz off on the Road to Frisco!

The Griz are headed to the national championship on Sunday, Jan. 7, and "We Believe" they will come home with a win. Be a part of the festivities by helping us send them off in style.

The Grizzlies will depart from the South End Zone parking lot (behind the WGS scoreboard) on the UM campus at 12:45 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 3. The team busses will travel through downtown Missoula via Broadway on their way to the airport.
