2006 Highlights

[MYTAPPY]

What was your teams biggest highlight this year.

I'm sure I don't have to mention my choice :smiley_wi

[saccat]

MSU over Colorado to start the season. I don't care if they ended up being bad, they are still the Buffs and it gave MSU some Props ( even if it was only for a week.:( )

[JMU_MRD'03-'07]

Defeating New Hampshire when they were No.1 and undefeated on their homecoming.

[poly51]

Cal Poly beating I-A San Diego State.

[blueballs]

As a GSU fan/booster I never thought I'd say this but............ defeating Coastal Carolina.: smh : Other than that I can't really find a highlight.

[Mountaineer]

A few stand out for me:

The JMU game - Really enjoyed seeing the Dukes come to Boone and watching both teams play a semi-mediocre game to start the season. :D

Homecoming - The huge crowd of over 26,000 to watch Elon, yes Elon.

GSU - Heartattack city in Statesboro. Phew.

The buttwhuppin' put on Furman during Black Saturday. :p

The entire playoffs - was my first time seeing Coastal (good stuff) and ASU's first time playing Montana State and Youngstown. Awesome to see different teams.

And of course: Back 2 Back :bow:

[DuckDuckGriz]

Beating the Kitties to win the Big Sky outright for the first time since 2001.

The game winning drive & kick as time expired to beat Cal Poly.

The night game at WGS in the semis, even if the outcome wasn't great.

[Canyoncat]

Our winning streak that pulled us out of our early season funk. Getting to host a playoff game for the first time in 22 years and beating Furman.

Except for the three game slide after we beat Colorado, overall I think we had a great season and can't wait for next year.

GO CATS!!

[bostonspider]

I guess it would have to be shutting out Duke on the road to start the season.

[PantherRob82]

-Close loss at Iowa State was a fun day, would've been nuts if Wingert had hit the FG.

-Had a good time at Youngstown with some nice fireworks after the game.

[JoshUCA]

Finishing 8-3 in our first year, beating 2 SLC foes on the road, cracking the top 25 in our first year, setting new attendance records, the emergence of true tailgating at UCA.

[LeopardFan04]

Beating Lehigh for the 3rd time in a row to clinch a share of our 3rd straight PL title...which led to another playoff appearance...also finally beating Colgate after a decade...

[NDSUFREAK]

Minnesota game is a game I will always remember as one of the best BISON memories of all time.

The last game against SDSU was another highlight of a great year for NDSU.

[RabidRabbit]

Getting the 2 point conversion to win the game vs Poly, and getting that no wins vs Poly off our back. :hurray: :hurray:

[kats89]

DD Terry with two 250+ yd performances in the season...

37 carries for 253 yds, 2tds vs McNeese St

31 carries for 278 yds, 3tds vs SE Louisiana

And this is after he played LB for 3 years at SHSU and was moved to RB his senior season in 2006.

For me personally it has to be Ralph mentioning my name on "I-AA/CS Waves" He caught me totally off guard giving my Grizzlies props for being "hot, hot hot". I loved it Ralph. Thanks. This season was great Ralph and you were a big part of it.

For my Griz the highlights were: 1) beating the Bobcats, 2)wining the BSC outright, 3) the semifinal game at Wa/Griz. The UMASS game was an awesome experience, in spite of the fact that Montana lost.

no cal poly "drive"?

[elkmcc]

no cal poly "drive"?

Naw. It seemed to me the Griz were having to pull a rabbit out of the hat (no disrespect to SDSU intended) to win more often than not. The CP game really doesn't stick out in my mind. I do however remember being really impressed with Shotwell.

The whole season is a blur to me. Two more wins would have been nice but I couldn't really say that I am disappointed about the season in any way. I look forward to next year.:hurray:

[furpal87]

Don't know how to answer thhat one, how about every time we got a kick off that wasn't blocked? Did something positive in special teams?

Seriously, Felton's 6 TD's against WCU and making the playoffs with a seriously flawed team.

[Old Cat Fan]

For me the UNH team highlight had to be the opening day stunner against Northwestern I think everyone had that game penciled in as a preseason lost, and if they didn't win that game they would not have made the playoffs.

and for individual highlight, had to be watching and capturing David Ball 51st record breaking TD catch on a picture perfect day in Durham against Richmond

[Grizo406]

The highlight of my 2006 Griz football season was being able to celebrate our win over SIU with some of the most beautiful football fans on our planet.

[Jackluv]

jason having a great year along with awatts

2 all-americans

[catbob]

1- Hosting a playoff game, and winning it to boot!
2- Beating Colorado, especially since I drove all the way to the game to see it first-hand.

[JMUDuke2002]

For me, its a toss-up between beating UNH or beating Delaware under the lights.

[Tribe4SF]

Meeting Ralph at the JMU game!:thumbsup:

Beating Towson on the road.

Tailgating and watching the UNH/Hampton playoff game.

[UNH 40]

The Northwestern victory was without a doubt the biggest win in school history, but I think the highlight of the season was the game that Ricky Santos played at Delaware. It was one of the best individual performances by an athlete that I have ever seen.

[GoGuins]

YSU-actually making the playoffs, first time since 2000

[lucchesicourt]

For UCD, it had to be beating USD, to continue the streak of 37 consectutive winning seasons.

[DuckDuckGriz]

For UCD, it had to be beating USD, to continue the streak of 37 consectutive winning seasons.

That's damn impressive. Congrats.

[MR. CHICKEN]

OURAH BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT.......WHEN BEN PATRICK.....SOMEHOW AGREED TA PLAY FO' DELAWARE...............:nod:.....BRAWK!

[Tubby Raymond]

Best individual effort of the season

[AggieFinn]

Putting together that solid second half against San Diego for the final home win at Toomey. Especially the lick that Bryan Harrison sent to Rogan on the kickoff to open the 3rd quarter.

Besides that the whooping of Montana State at Bozeman, and of course the O-Line/Marcus Nolan inspired rushing attack developed against Southern Utah on Homecoming (and for the rest of the season).
