Brawl of the Mild

[Silenoz]

Which team gets to eek into the playoffs, beat(?) San Diego, and then get rocked by EWU or NDSU? Discuss.

[MSUBobcat]

Crazy to think that 2 weeks ago, even with assuming both teams would win their next 2 against weaker competition and entering at 6-4, NO ONE would have thought this game had playoff implications. Then, nearly everyone in FCS decided making the playoffs seemed like a lot of work and phoned it in. Now, barring an ISU-o upset over the Grills, the winner stands a pretty decent chance to do as the OP says. Some call in parity in the FCS. I call it inconsistency. Whole lot of teams will be playing in the first round that really have no business being in the playoffs and will make quick and ugly exits against the seeds.

As for the Brawl, it seems like your OL has shored up a bit in the last couple games (albeit vs SUU and Idaho)? The best part of our game seems to be our ability to get to the QB. Oh, and we like to run it once in a while. Probably shouldn't have let that cat out of the bag, but wth, I'm feeling generous. If we can get pressure on Sneed and throw a few wrinkles in the offensive scheme (i.e. implement something other than Troy left, Troy right, Troy middle), I like our chances.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

I question anyones football acumen if they believe either of these teams should be in the playoffs.

Go Griz and FTC!

Sounds like Montana RB Calhoun has decided he doesn't want to play anymore this season and will use this season as a redshirt year.

"Hauck offered a response of “no” when he was asked Monday if he expects senior running back Jeremy Calhoun to play this week.

Calhoun didn’t travel to Idaho for Saturday’s game, and Hauck said afterward that Calhoun “decided not to play anymore.” Asked if Calhoun was still on the team, Hauck said, “I mean, he didn’t want to play anymore, so.”"

Deserve to be? No. Not even close. Possibly in the running to be a sacrificial lamb to the seeded teams in Round 2? Maybe. We have to see how bad the rest of the FCS implodes again this weekend.

Bobcats would intentionally throw a game vs. Valpo, at home . . . to avoid a trip to Fargo. They would have plane trouble, a collective sore throat, a death in the family . . . anything to avoid a game in Fargo. They would become HBCU for a day and petition the Celebration bowl, they would join the Ivy. They simply would not show up. Book it.

Seriously, the Brawl should be a good one, it always is.

Oh, good one....xrolleyesx

You can say what you want to about the buyout but it was still a bull**it thing to do and it was late in the game for NDSU to get a good replacement. Our old AD said he would never call Montana State again for a game. I don't know about our AD now but most Bison fans would say....sure schedule them but make a 2 or 3 for 1 with the first games in Fargo.

Wasn't intended as smack. I lived the first 17 years of my life in ND and still have lots of family there. I won't be moving back there. I like hockey and walleye, but that's not enough to leave Montucky.

As for the buyout, I've never defended the move (go back and look). It WAS a bull$#it thing to do. That said..... GET OVER IT. You guys are like a wife nagging about things that happened years ago. Who is still around for either team that had anything to do with that? Players? Nope. Coaches? Maybe some, but don't care enough to look. AD? Nada.

No, but my line would not work if I did not pretend. We've (UM/MSU) been pretty lax on the smacks the last couple years so I needed to get one in where I could.

[MSUBobcat]

Seems to me that the Griz OL isn't quite as porous as it was in the middle of the year. Were there injuries? Was it the competition? If we can't get to Sneed, I think we have a hard time beating the Griz. I think you'll figure out our offensive gameplan fairly quickly.... xbangx

We have had only 4 upperclassmen or something like that on offense in total and we have been running 4 freshman on the Oline for the season. Now, they may have gotten just enough experience to be decent but it might also be that they have gotten just enough to beat a couple bad teams with weak pressure. Tough to say but I think with Sneed's mobility and the Oline picking it up a bit we are in way better shape this next Saturday than we have been for a long time.

Troy Anderson is a f'n beast, no doubt about that but with Buss and Olson I think we might be able to hold him to a little bit less than normal and only let him get 3 or 4 70 yd. runs in for Teeders. I think we might be able to exploit your secondary for a fair amount if we are staying on track with Sneed and the receivers like we have lately.

We may not be a good matchup for you guys this year but I've been wrong before on that one so...

[MSUBobcat]

Thanks, Ursus. I usually catch the griz games in bars since our games are often offset, but there's no sound so I don't really pick up the personnel.

Anderson is gonna break one or 2. Its just gonna happen. The question is, can we throw enough wrinkles at ya so that, other than a couple big runs, can we stay away from 3'n outs. Snead is definitely throwing a better ball than earlier, so if we can't get pressure, I'm very worried about being picked apart.

If we can get to Sneed and UM stops Troy, it'll be a low scoring affair. If our OC finds some creativity (or someone on the Bobcats says, "hey coach, I played shortstop in Little League. Can I try throwing a pass?") and the Griz OL gives Sneed time, it could be a slugfest.

One thing I DO know.... eat $#it Grizzlies, go Cats go :D

Huh?

[uofmman1122]

I don't feel good about this game, but I thought we would be run out of the barn at Idaho last week. It all feels like everything could just go so horribly wrong at any point in any game, but I'll be damned if we didn't blow the doors off of Southern Utah and Idaho.

OL looks better, and Sneed finally looks normal again.

I think if the Griz O keeps rolling, the Griz should win comfortably, as our defense is just good enough to limit MSU, and MSU's offense isn't really built to play from behind. As long as #15 needs to throw the ball, the Griz are in a very good spot.

But If MSU can force our guys to make mistakes, who knows.

One thing is for sure, though. Bobby Hauck was hired to win exactly this game more than any other one before or after, so it'll probably be a battle no matter what.

Christ, I can watch Valpo on ESPN+ or ESPN3 but can't get a BSC game, sucks.

Our cable company (a mom and pop outfit) has one or two BSC games every week. And that is in NC. Pretty funny. But I have seen a few this year as a result.

[Grizalltheway]

Well, there is more thread drift here but the BSC brought this on themselves with their ****ty TV deal.

BTW, here is the call

Griz 27
Kitties 21

#Bookit

I would actually feel pretty comfortable booking this.

Agree to disagree on that one.

Living rent free in your head.No butthurt, it would just be nice to get a cupcake in the early rounds.

[MSUBobcat]

Agree to disagree on that one.

I think he thinks MSU getting beatdown would hurt our feelers or something. All but the goldest-shaded glasses wearers had no playoff aspirations from fairly early on this season. If they were to squeak into the playoffs AND win a game, that's all gravy this season. A beating by ANY of the seeded teams is highly likely thereafter.

Don't have as much confidence in the Bison as, well.... pretty much everyone else on AGS that NDSU cruises to Frisco this year???

[POD Knows]

Don't have as much confidence in the Bison as, well.... pretty much everyone else on AGS that NDSU cruises to Frisco this year???Anything can happen and often does. If the Bison team that showed up in the first half against YSU shows up in the playoffs, it could be a short run although the playoffs in the last couple years has been a break from the conference grind. I also like to have new teams come into the dome and we haven't played you guys for a while.

Fair enough. I freely admit we will be a tasty cupcake for someone in Round 2 (provided we win Cat-Griz, get selected AND win in the first round). And for the record, I've ALWAYS been against what we did to NDSU with that buyout. Making some extra cash isn't worth tarnishing your reputation. But what's done is done.

[Silenoz]

Jokes on you guys. In a twist, the Griz win out, and then get shipped to Weber in the second round - where we still lose by 30 - but there's only 10 fans to make us feel bad about it!

xlolx Damn it, they scheduled the game during church service!

Good news is, as long as you score at least a TD, Weber isn't beating ANYONE by 30. Only time they've scored more than 35 was against UNC. And we all know about UNC....

This years Bison have had 3 games where they have been tied or trailed after 3 quarters. There are other times they have looked unbeatable. Favorites to win it all again? Yes, unbeatable, no.

In a normal year I would agree with this. But this year the subdivision just looks weaker

CSU-Pueblo?

Griz 22

Typical 2018 Griz. Look like world beaters in the first half, forget how to play the game in the second.

[veinup]

Yep. We’re doing it again 🤔

[Bisonator]

Wow cats just take the lead 29-25 with 2 minutes left.

[dewey]

What the F? Grizzlies up 22-0 and now down 29-25.

[veinup]

Wow. A fitting end

[Daytripper]

Crazy finish...

[MSUBobcat]

Not sure I've seen a secondary play that poorly and their team still wins. BUT I'LL TAKE IT. EAT **** GRIZZLIES!

[wapiti]

How did the Cats win this game????? I did not think the Cats played very well, but yet somehow they earn the W.

POOR grizzlies!!!!

[veinup]

how many times this season did we go into the half with a decent-big lead and then score barely any points in the 2nd half? YIKES!

[wapiti]

I would imagine that this one is going to sting a bit for the griz.

[Go Lehigh TU Owl]

Congrats Bobcats! The folks at The Hub in Belgrade will be smiling!

Hopefully this punches their ticket!!

[veinup]

it’s stinging me alright.. yeesh. gg cats, you guys have a grittier team than we do, hope you make it to the playoffs. *salute

[Grizalltheway]

I imagine this is how cat fans must have felt in '97. It ain't good.

[Silenoz]

I stopped giving a shot long ago

[uofmman1122]

That was the worst thing I’ve ever experienced as a Griz fan.

I still can’t ****ing believe it.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Congratulations to the Bobcats,the fans, etc. Winning that one took some grit as was mentioned and you guys did things right to get it done. Hope you make noise in the playoffs.

Thanks UAH. The turnovers in the 4th Q doomed the griz in this one. I'm sure Hauck will address the turnover issue during spring practices.

The Cat's need to work on their kickoff coverage. I am not sure why every kickoff is not deep into the endzone with our coverage.

Next year should be another dandy for the Cat/Griz game.

That is really what we did in every game we lost except UND which we just started doing it way, way earlier. I thought we had shaken it off a bit but we did it again and got what we deserved for it. We were very young and I hope that the 19 returning starters on both sides can learn and progress cuz as we all know your gonna lose if you give a good team some extra chances. Some very impressive players in a lot of spots for you guys.

Great, great college football game. Both teams looked playoff caliber today. Sneed on 3rd down was dynamite.

[uofmman1122]

With Weber and NAU winning, we were that close to finally going back to the playoffs.

I STILL can’t believe we lost that one. This going to hurt for a long, long time.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Neither of these teams should be in the playoffs, both teams suck and are in a very very weak conference

[Catbooster]

What a great game. The Griz played hard and didn't give up. I think Bobby & staff did a good job this year with what they had to work with.

If the Cats can finally get a solid QB in place next year both teams should be competitive.

I like defense, so to me a goal line stand to win is a great finish.

Thanks God for weak bubbles. I hope we'll be tailgating next week.

[Laker]

Griz fumble and the cats are going to win it!

Wow what a finish.

I'm watching the replay on TV now and was wondering how the Cats survived. Quite a game.

[Ivytalk]

Congrats to the Beasts of Bozeman. Good luck in the playoffs!
