Montana Tech Orediggers Gear Up For Crucial Matchups This Week

It's a busy week of activity for the Montana Tech Orediggers as the football team heads to Billings for a key conference game while the Women's Basketball team opens their season at home over the Peg Sarsfield Basketball Weekend that also includes a key Oredigger home volleyball contest.

FOOTBALL

The undefeated Orediggers will be on the road facing the Rocky Mountain Battlin' Bears Friday night at 7pm at Herb Klindt Field. Rocky is 3-4 overall but their 3 wins have all been conference games. The Orediggers beat the Bears 34-23 back in Butte on September 13th but that win does not count in Frontier-East standings. Rocky has been red-hot winning their last 3 by beating Valley City State on the road 31-21, Dickinson State at home 28-21 and MSU-Northern in Havre 35-21. The Orediggers are coming off a 51-0 lambasting of Mayville State at home last Saturday.

MENS' BASKETBALL

The Oredigger Men are 2-0 after yesterday's 19-point pasting of #14 Southern Oregon and will look to improve on their mark when they take on Warner Pacific at 1pm in Dillon at Straugh Gymnasium.

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

The Oredigger women will be in action Friday and Saturday as they host the Peg Sarsfield Weekend by taking on #15 Southern Oregon at 2pm on Friday and the College of Idaho at 5pm on Saturday. Kelvin Sampson Court will also be the site of a neutral Women's contest between Southern Oregon and Montana-Western at 7pm on Saturday.

VOLLEYBALL

A pair of home matches are on the slate for Montana Tech's Volleyball Team this weekend. Tonight (Friday) they will host Rocky Mountain College at 7pm and tomorrow they will welcome the Carroll College Saints at 2pm.

Did Anyone Watch These TV Shows in the 1980s and 1990s?

While you might think “watching while distracted” is a modern habit, even back in the day the TV was just… there, humming along while you did other things. These were the shows that weren’t exactly “must-see TV,” more like “might-see TV” — part of the culture, but you had to wonder: who was actually watching?
