Montana Tech Vs Carroll: Clash Of Titans With Playoff Implications

You could say Saturday's game between Montana Tech is a big one, but that would be a huge understatement. Sure, Tech/Carroll is always a big deal but this year it is a home game, the final regular season game of the year and it has playoff seedings and implications written all over it. Plus, we are having an unseasonably warm fall, and we could even be seeing a little bit of sunshine by kickoff on Saturday afternoon at 1pm.

Montana Tech is having a whale of a season, currently ranked #8 in the nation. The Orediggers are 8-2 overall, on a 4-game winning streak and have been 32 points or better winners over their last 3 opponents. Tech's 2 losses on the year are by a total of 14 points, by 7 to Montana-Western on the road and by 7 in overtime to the College of Idaho. The Orediggers are a perfect 5-0 at Bob Green Field this season. Carroll is not having a bad season either. The Fightin' Saints are 7-2 with their 2 losses coming to Montana Tech, 30-22 in Week 1 at Nelson Stadium in Helena and last week on the road to Montana-Western, 27-14.

16 Savage Country Music Diss Tracks

The country music genre typically isn't associated with diss tracks. But throughout its history, there have been some truly brutal country songs aimed at people who've done the artist wrong.

Of course, clap-back songs are much more prevalent than diss tracks, but the main difference between the two is that the artist had a specific, real-life person in mind when they wrote the song — and made it clear who they were talking about, whether or not they specifically named their target in the lyrics.
