Making the rounds in the Missoula Facebook network today is a petition to let ESPN "know that their decision to Black out First and Second Round FCS Playoff games is a Bad Decision."

#OccupyESPN?? Wow!

According to the event/petition page (which has nearly garnered an impressive 10,000 attendees):

Please Pass on to everyone you know, in and out of the State of Montana even if affiliated with another team in the Playoffs, Let our voices be heard!! I will be forwarding this to ESPN on the 1st of December.
