Montana @ Weber State

[I Bleed Purple]

You can tell I'm excited, making this game thread a week in advance. Everyone has penciled in EWU and UM as BSC playoff teams. No one has given WSU a chance to go playoff bound. This week can change that. UM looks very vulnerable, why WSU has looked pretty strong so far. Hope to get a big crowd to drown out the UM drones on Saturday. I know my voice here will be enough against all the UM guys here, so bring it on! :D

[alexale23]

GOOOOOOOOOO WEBER I wanna see it

[I Bleed Purple]

Great, the first guy supporting us in this thread is a guy with a neg rep. Just great.

[Ronbo]

It's nice to have a Weber fan post. It was years we never heard from anyone from Weber State. :) xlolx You guys were one of the schools that were posted when someone started a thread "What schools are not represented on the board?".

[Peems]

I picked Weber third, and said they were the sleeper that could knock off either UM or EWU. I'll be honest I expected the griz to lose 3-4 games this year.(Poly, Weber, EWU, MSU) and they have pleasantly surprised so far. The Weber O is going to give our young D fits but so far the Griz O has looked not half bad, scoring at least 30 in all games. The last time we were in Ogden it was a shootout, and I think the Griz are ready for conference play to begin.

Um...I mentioned Weber in that thread because I'm the only one outside of a couple that'll pop in and post once in a blue moon.

EDIT: Okay, it wasn't in that thread that I posted it. I posted a pic of the DEC in there.

[GOKATS]

A Wildcat win this weekend wouldn't surprise me at all.

[Green Laser]

This should be a great game. Weber is a very well balanced and talented football team with a lot of weapons. The Grizz will have to bring thier A game to hang with them.

[Grizaholic17]

I expect a hard fought game. But Hauck will stress putting Weber State away this week in practice after our scare with Central Washington. He doesn't want us Griz fans up his back. The players will come out hitting hard like at Cal Poly. But I still expect a close one.
UM- 27
WSU- 24

Not only do i have neg rep last year i broke the record for neg rep at like -2000

What is it now?

[Grizzaholic]

I have liked Weber since last year. They sure play interesting ball week in and week out. Saturday should be another one of those games where who knows what will show up, for both teams.

Gotta be realistic.

24 Griz
21 Weber St.

[putter]

Weber has a very good team on O and their special teams. They will score points and I hope our offense stops the stupid penalties and moves the ball.

Griz 31
Webs 30

[Wolfman]

The Griz have been playing with smoke and mirrors. They are young on defense, have no running game, and shaky FG game and pass protection.

Then, there is the coaching factor. The Griz finally reveal their weaknesses against a real FCS team, who has been battle-tested against better teams than the Griz, and played well against them.

While I want the Griz to prevail, it will not happen.

You're not even a "fan" of UM, so why would you want them to win?xrolleyesx

Like so many other griz games in recent memory, this one should come down to a field goal, and it will be the griz kicking it. I won't give a score, but I don't know that UM can win every game in the closing seconds. If they want to win, they had better jump out early and hope the defense finds a rhythm in the second half.

[I Bleed Purple]

I actually agree with Wolfman on the score. Imagine that. :D

[catbob]

I'm pretty excited for this matchup. I've been on the Weber bandwagon since Higgins came on strong last year; I've always been a fan of Trevyn Smith.

Weber is one of the teams that consistently plays man-to-man defense (is this still true Wildcats fans?). If the Griz don't have more production from their running game, they may struggle offensively. I like the trio of running backs the Griz have, but none of them have produced with any consistency. And the Wildcat run defense is no slouch either.

Interesting matchup for sure; I might have to give the edge to the Wildcats in this one, but the Griz do have this guy named Mariani that no one seems to be able to stop. Man, that guy is a quiet kind of good.

[I Bleed Purple]

Man-to-man? On the outside, yes. Don't remember seeing the corners in zone. The LBs will play a zone with safety coverage over the top. Problem is that the safeties will play one up one down and the up man can't cover the deep corners or fly routes, leaving the CB on an island.

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

I'm looking forward to watching the kitties loose 2 weeks in a row :D xlolx

In all honesty, I expect a tough game on both sides of the ball. I know everyone is jumping off the Griz Wagon, and that is OK. The Griz a doing just fine from what I can tell and they have that way of somehow, someway pulling it out. Not sure at what point everyone will stop calling it luck, but we will leave that for Wolfman to tell us xreadx xcoffeex I will pull for Weber and EWU when they aren't playing the Griz, I just love football ;) I may even try to do 3 games in 3 days, would be awesome. Watch Oregon State at Utah on Thursday night, BYU at Utah State on Friday night and then The Griz at the kitties. I know I am going to catch the last 2, not sure about tickets for the Utah/Oregon game. If I can find em, I am gonna try it. xthumbsupx

[Peems]

Smith is the best RB in the Big Sky and outside of Noble the Griz haven't faced a true gamebreaker yet. I'm very nervous for this game. The Griz front has got get pressure on Higgins. Last week against CWU Reilly escaped a few sacks and really was never too hurried outside of them. The Griz had a definite speed advantage against CWU but against Weber it won't be as much. The honus will fall on the offense and if Cole takes all day like he has been it could be ugly.

[catbob]

Yes that is what I mean, sorry. Should have been more clear - Weber's corners play man-to-man, most teams in the Sky run a combination of man-to-man and zone.

i think i need montana to win this game. I really don't want some pissed off grizzlies when they come to cheney the week after, that and i'm scared about playing weber this year myself. they look legit.

I am very impressed by the Weber St team this year. I think Montana is in for a struggle in this one. Should be a very good game looking forward to the results. Good luck to both the Griz and Weber St.

[putter]

Has Etuati graduated yet? I remember his punt and kick returns. He is/was one dangerous player.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

This is what many of the Griz fans were saying last year BB. Weber is a tough, tough team to get a win over. They are very solid and their record last year didn't express how quality they were. I don't think I Bleed is gonna find a lot of Griz fans that think this will be a walk over. They are a very solid team and I would very happy with a 1 point victory in double overtime against them. Anything more than that would be gravy. I'm not gonna pick a score but the Griz will be lucky if we can pull one out in Utah.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Nope. I believe this is his senior year. Good luck! xthumbsupx:D

Don't speak for me meathead. Just because I am objective about our team, does not mean that I want them to lose. Wishing it happen will not make it happen.

Pedestrian sugar coaters like yourself should stay off of athletic message boards, and stop embarrassing yourself.

[Wolfman]

True to form, wolfie predicts a UM loss and blames the coaching.xeyebrowx


McBride has forgotten more about football than Bobby will ever know. Weber outplayed us the last three seasons, and McBride clearly outcoached Hauck in each game, even with inferior talent. This year, the talent is equal, and McBride will prevail.

[Wolfman]

I am a fan, just not a pin head like you. Try a dose of objectivity, you may find it refreshing. On second thought, I highly doubt it.

If you agreed with me more, you would gain some credibility points. Sugar coaters should stay off of message boards. Posters need a gonad check before posting.

You're just pissed because your best player, Aaron Boyce, wanted badly to play for the Griz and not EWU, but Hauck would not take him.

[alexale23]

Wolfman you are right unlike most people on here who think their team has no flaws and will go undefeated. Shoot Jmu is ranked #1 and has beat good teams I still dont think they will get out of CAA play without at least 1 loss.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

xlolx xlolx xlolx <---- that's me so very "pissed." xlolx

I'd love to see what you have (if anything) to back up that statement. Either way, you're wrong. I do believe Matt Nichols is our best player. And so far, Tony Davis has out-performed Boyce. xpeacex

[I Bleed Purple]

Etuati--Senior
Smith--Junior
Higgins--Sophomore

As for coaching, well, McBride is a good coach. He does have issues which I don't need to really go through. He recruits fairly well out of state and isn't set into one offensive strategy.

But this is about the game. I'm hoping for 10k+ this week.

Whatever. Why don't you ask Aaron yourself? He and his mother drove to Missoula (she is from Montana) to try to get Hauck to take him. Hauck passed. You know the rest of the story.

Stuff like this happens to every college coach at any level.

Are you gonna go snoop back on every kid coach Hauck had to pass on hoping you find someone who ended up doing well? For every Aaron Boyce that got away, there are 50 other kids that coaches pass on that don't end up being starting material. xwhistlex

I know I can come across as an A-hole. But, if you got the constant name-calling (hater, bad fan, et al) that I get from these so-called Griz fans just because I am truthful about things surrounding our program, you would get a bit chippy too.

I have been a Griz fan longer than most of these guys have been alive. I have watched two undfeated Griz teams in 1969-70 play for the NC in the Camilia Bowl (sp). I have watched the program go down the sh#tter in the late 1970s and 1980s, playing in a second rate high school stadium. And, I have watched the magical restoration of the program under three great head coaches in the 1990s and early 2000s. I believe that this long tenure gives me a bit more perspective than most of these Jonny-come-lately Griz fans.

Our program will be O.K. Hauck will leave eventually, one way or another, and take our inept offensice coordinator with him. The, we can return to the greatness we had during the 15 years prior to his arrival. I will be a fan no matter what.

[uofmman1122]

I agree. But, he passed on Reilly, who would have been the first Griz QB ever drafted by the NFL, and he passed on Boyce, who will compete for the Payton award and play on Sundays next year. These two kids fell right into his lap, he did not even have to recruit them, and he passed,

I am merely trying to bring levity to a sugar-coated Griz world, in which Hauck has been annoited a recruiting genius. I knew better all along, because he was recruiting coordinator at UDUB when that program started it decent with Hauck's recruits. He has recruited the state of Montana well. That's IT! Period!

You're also going off of hyperbole. Who's to say that Boyce or Reilly would even have made it at Montana? Sure, they're playing good now, but you nor anyone else knows what would have happened if they had played here.

For all we know, they could have been terrible. They could have won us National Championships, but we'll never know.

My whole point is that you're making a big deal over nothing. xpeacex

[I Bleed Purple]

I wonder if UM is going to do what all teams have done so far, set up the defense to stop Smith and play five yards off the receivers. We kill teams on slants and play action, and Smith hasn't been able to break through on a lot yet.

[PhantomCAT]

Weber plays some serious SMASHMOUTH football. I've heard several griz fans discuss how beat up um was after last years meeting in Missoula.

My question for the day is: What do you think is in the minds of the defensive linemen concerning MR JD Quinn? I'm sure he will get booed like crazy.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Three straight first round exits under Dennehy was glorious?

No one cares how old you are, how much $$, or who you claim to dine with. You just have a hard-on for Hauck and no life but to sit online pining about it. It's been funny to watch but sad at the same time.

Probably nothing because he didn't throw the chopblock. If a WSU player wants to go after him go ahead. He'll take care of it even if he is hurt...seriously, that guy is intense on the field.

He's holding back his favorite "big guns", soon it'll be "short-peckered friend, arse, lawsuit, freedom of speech".... etcetera ad nauseum.

Stevie D is a washed-up intramural softball player with a Napolean complex who (on the basis of his intramural participation) percieves himself to be a sports expert.

Mr. Pickle once related (bragged) how he played golf with Hauck (when Hauck was first hired)....I suspect, despite a million mulligans, that Hauck trounced him, thus the hard-on for the Griz coach.

[GtFllsGriz]

This game and the one to follow (EWU) will set the stage for the season for the Griz. Two very very tough games and they are on the road. I won't even predict the outcome. Simply say that it is a huge game that will have playoff implications in the end.

[elkmcc]

The Wolfman(s) have been playing with smoke and mirrors for so long he can't remember. I am dumb on defense, have to run from everyone, I'm lame, and shaky, FuG'ed in the head game and passed the point of no return .

Then, there is the coaching factor. When BH finally revealed my weaknesses against anyone with more than a 2" penis, I have held it against him forever. I am a walking abnormal psychology textbok who has been babble-tested against better lunatics, and played doctor with them or against them.

While I want to play with myself, it will not happen (can't).

Are you lying to try to make a point, or just that uninformed? Dennehy's team played for the National Championship in 1996 against Randy Moss and Marshall. He only coached three years, and only lost in the first round in one of those years.

Oh puh-lease. Hauck's recruiting class this year is the best in a long time? And what, pray tell, measurement do you propose to make that brash statement? The hype these players had in the newspaper? Your post is laugheable.

The most hilarious part is when you say that Boyce and Reilly would have been terrible here at UM. Right on, brother. Hauck never likes to play those NFL caliber players, huh. ;)

First of all - I love how you claim Bobby's success early on and to the 2004 NC game was because he had Joe Glenn's players. Nevermind the fact that Dennehy's 1996 undefeated team used Don Read's. By the way - here is Dennehy's playoff record:

1996 - lost NC to Marshall
1997 - lost first round to McNeese State 19-14
1998 - lost first round to Western Illinois 52-9
1999 - lost first round to Youngstown State 30-27

*psst* I think he's off the board. He can't hear us... If we're quiet, we can talk about the game.

What are the papers and team saying they have to stop against Weber? And remember, keep the voices down.

*very quiet* Although Weber State poses some very big problems when their offense is on the field, most has been about limiting our mistakes. Hauck and Co. know that it won't matter how well they play on defense if they commit 5 turnovers and around 100 yards in penalties. What time is kickoff?

Thats good. The Griz have historically struggled with night games in the BSC.

Most of the talk has been about the big cheap shot injury last year, and how that will play into this years game, but there ws this blur today in the Missoulian:


Another team, another vaunted passing attack. Weber's Cameron Higgins ranks fifth in the Football Championship Subdivision with a passing efficiency rating of 171.7. UM's Cole Bergquist ranks seventh at 167.3. � Weber's Tim Toone is averaging 107 receiving yards a game, good for third in the Big Sky and ninth nationally. UM's Marc Mariani averages 126.2 yards, which places him first in the league and third nationally (Cal Poly's Ramses Barden is first). � Mariani ranks fifth in the FCS in all-purpose yards at 201 per game, but Weber's Bryant Eteuati is first in the Big Sky and 14th in the FCS in punt returns, at 14.7 per game. � Eteuati has returned two punts and two kickoffs for TDs in his career. � UM is ranked No. 2 in the FCS Coaches' Association poll. Using that poll, UM will have been ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the country for its fourth straight visit to Ogden.

Last week Montana had some communication/assignment problems on the 2 deep coverage - I think Hauck said on his show the safety didn't stay deep behind the receiver, but it would get fixed - we will see, WSU has a good QB and receiver, and big plays could be a problem for the Griz, although it could just as easily be a big day for Trumaine Johnson.

It will interesting to see if Montana can run against the Wildcats, and how much protection Cole gets. Also we know Higgins can pass, can Weber run against the Griz?

Montana's offense has improved this year, and they are scoring more points, but the team seems a little schizophrenic - last week CB had his best day stat-wise as a Griz, but threw an interception in the end zone, and had a fumble that CWU returned for 6. Mariani was awesome, but muffed a fumble. Most drives the D shut down CWU, but then they would blow up for a big play. At times you could drive a truck through the hole the O-line opened, but then the next play they would get caught holding or allow a sack. Special teams played pretty solid, except for the 2 fumbles and a block in the back on a big return - you just never know how a play will turn out with this bunch - they have shown tremendous potential, but still haven't played a complete game. The question is - will the Griz continue to pull out wins, will they pull everything together and blow people out, or finally have the mistakes cost them a win.

I don't know which team will show up Saturday, but I would expect another head shaking close win by the Griz.

That's the most honest assessment of this year's Griz team I've read. xthumbsupx

I still think teams are playing to stop Smith and making Weber throw the ball. Stopping the run against Weber has been the priority for the past 10 years. It's still a major threat, but you're getting smoked through the air now.

Pass Defense is not the biggest problem with our defense. It's the confusion caused. Trumaine Johnson has been playing tremendously, but coming in as a freshmen, he causes some confusion on many plays. But watch for him to buck up in this game. I talked to him the other day, and he said he was really excited to get out and play Weber. But he also said not playing in Wa/Griz is a big turn off about the trip. GO GRIZ

[Hellgate60]

I have a question for everyone. Do you think that the refs are going to be pretty strict on penalties because of what happened last years? I'm afraid they are going to throw the flag pretty quick and this game is going to be slowed down with a ton of ticky tack penalties

Beat me to it.

I think that the refs will come out and show that they are not going to be putting up with any monkey business from the get go. Flags for both teams' first drive of the game and the first after the half. After that I think it will settle down and they will conduct business as usual, by throwing a flag here and there just for the fun of it.

[griz8791]

I was at a high school game last Friday night when the officials blew an obvious call. The guy next to me turned to me and said, "in the Big Sky Conference that referee would be fired for that call." I kept a straight face but it wasn't easy.

[Hellgate60]

I was just curious because I remember the last time the cats were in town there were a lot of personal fouls on both teams in the first quarter just so the refs could show who was in charge. I was just curious if it would be a lot like that

[I Bleed Purple]

I don't think it'll be that big an issue honestly. It's remembered, but not to the point that there'll be any late hitting or punching or anything like that. We'd rather have revenge by ringing the bell at the end of the game.

[Ronbo]

This game and the one to follow (EWU) will set the stage for the season for the Griz. Two very very tough games and they are on the road. I won't even predict the outcome. Simply say that it is a huge game that will have playoff implications in the end.

These game aren't the end of the world. We could lose both and still end up 10-2. These are the two toughest road games. We get NAU, Sac. State, and MSU at home. 10-2 and we still make the playoffs with a home game easy.

What if Weber ends up 10-2 and Eastern 8-3 or Weber 9-3 and Eastern 9-2? Four of those five combined losses against FBS. UM would be third in conference.

Something Bergquist said in a post game interview. "This team is FAR from playing up to our potential. We have yet to gel."

Look out when they do start playing well. If they can win playing ugly they could be very very good when they start playing good.

Doesn't matter. If we go 9-3 or 10-2 we go to the playoffs. The NCAA wants the revenue from 26,000 tickets sold.

They've done it before. In 2005, EWU got the auto-bid & 3rd. place Montana got an at-large bid while 2nd. place Montana State did not. Montana State didn't have 7 DI wins, though, so that was expected.

It's possible it could happen here, too, if Weber finishes second. Let's say EWU wins the conference @ 7-1 while Montana & Weber tie @ 6-2 (with Weber beating Montana). Montana would certainly make the playoffs (10-2 w/ 9 DI wins) while Weber certainly would not (8-4 w/ just 6 DI wins).

A tie for second, regardless of who beat whom is not the same as a clear # 2 being shunned for the clear #3 in conference. Yours and MSU's scenario of 2005 are different beasts and more justifiable.

OK, change Montana to 5-3 (9-3) in my scenario and put them alone in third. Montana may or may not get in, but Weber certainly won't.

And anyway, wouldn't Weber be the clear #2 in conference even with a tie since they have a win over Montana?

[Green Laser]

I agree, there is no way that the NCAA could take the 3rd place team and leave the 2nd place team home if all else was equal. This is going to be a very interesting BSC season, there will be some major suprises!

[Green26]

I believe all 9-3 or better teams from the Big Sky would get into the playoffs--unless there was some jam up of teams from top conference with 9-3 or better records this year. I believe a large number of 9-3 or better records is unlikely, due to the number of I-A losses and the number of losses that good teams get from playing in tough conferences. Look at all the losses already of teams in the top 15. Most of those teams will have several more losses in conference play.

I don't think the selection committee would look at conference rank as some huge obstacle to overcome--if the overall records and strength of schedule were obvious determining factors.

Montana will lose to Weber and EWU, and possibly one other time. This will be due to several factors. \

1) A very young defense
2) A shaky FG kicking game (one FG does not a season make!)
3) Lack of a running game (Hauck left the cupboard bare here)
4) Hauck being out-coached on a consistant basis

[I Bleed Purple]

lol, of course it's nothing Weber does. It's all about the UM.

Andrew Schmidt was in practice this week. If he returned it might at least mean a little improvement in the running game.

[GrizFanStuckInUtah]

Anyone still need tickets for this game? I might have an extra one or two, pm me if you do. It sounds like the weather could be a factor in this game, it's expected to be cool and rainy. I personally hope it's nice weather since my 21mo is coming to the game and I want the Weber fans to show up ;) I am sure I won't be able to talk after the game tomorrow, this is game 4 of 4 this week for me and I'll post some pics and thoughts from those games later on, been a crazy, FUN, week. The Griz can cap it off with a giant punctuation mark if they can win it for me.

[I Bleed Purple]

Won't post before I go to the game tomorrow, so this is it.

I'm also not one to post a lot after a loss, so if that's the case, however improbable it may be, we'll see you Monday or something.

According to Hauck this week in press conferences Weber State is as good as Oklahoma. We will lose by 42-7 unless we play perfect and we get some miracle breaks.

How can I take FCS seriously when a team THIS GOOD doesn't even get ranked in the top 25??? It's a real joke. xsmiley_wix According to Hauck Weber State should be a Top 5 team.

[Ronbo]

I just thought of something. Weber State is fighting for their Playoff lives today. If they lose today they will need to run the table the rest of the way to make it 7 Div I wins.

The lack of coaching on the Montana sideline is obvious. McBride is trumping every move the Montana coaches make. We start blitzing to try to get a pass rush, Weber uses the hot receiver and/or shovel pass for big gains.

Check and Checkmate!

Montana killed themselves first half, but Weber's defense has not let them back in through the second half. Would love to have this one back but at least we didn't lose to the D-II last week :o

[ursus arctos horribilis]

They didn't stop the clock when Berq went out of bounds and then left it running for an extra 5 or so on the incomplete pass. They are having real trouble with the clock. The refs didn't catch it this time.

I never expected this. High scoring, yes, but not this.

Pick six would make me giddy.

[th0m]

This could be a game yet...

[DuckDuckGriz]

Defense not coming through here. Smith is a beast for Weber

[MaroonMafia]

pathetic defense...

[DuckDuckGriz]

This is awful. It's not like we have to guess what they're going to do...

[MaroonMafia]

Finally a hold

[ursus arctos horribilis]

This could be a game yet...

Not unless we can make a turnover. Their O line and running back aree flat out physically beating us right now. The officials have taken the clock duties out of the hands of the time keeper and will now be taking care of the clock on the field.

[MaroonMafia]

That field looks like trash

[MaroonMafia]

*****

WSU 45-
UM 28

[DuckDuckGriz]

I can't remember the last time Montana so badly blew a lead like that. The Portland State game last year comes to mind.

Touchdown Weber.

Did you listen/see any of the game?...

I love the bandwagoners jumping in AFTER the fact. Yeah bitter berries but tell me I'm wrong.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

I feel bad for Weber after this game, that field is gonna be ***** the rest of the year. It is so hammered.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Your bad karma is why Tom Brady's leg snapped.

Keep it up

[DuckDuckGriz]

No your "Montana is exposed"

...In what way? I'd agree with you but I'm wondering if you know what you're talking about.

[MaroonMafia]

I'm out. Gonna go drink myself into a temporary coma now...

[SeattleGriz]

Wow. We are just being rolled.

He's a new guy that is all about the trash. He was doing the same thing on another thread earlier today against Hofstra.

[DuckDuckGriz]

And guess what I have to "look forward to" after this....

Oregon @ USC

Getting into an inebriated coma is mandatory this evening

[SeattleGriz]

Hasn't that position already been filled?

[UNHWildCats]

Your bad karma is why Tom Brady's leg snapped.

Keep it up
I blame Belichick for taking him off the injury rport... listed for 3 years straight with right nshoulder.... 20 minutes after hes off hes out for the year, thats bad karma lol

I blame you. Your "Chasing History" threads last year gave Tyree that little extra umph to make that catch.

[MaroonMafia]

Selle's in to finish the game

[DuckDuckGriz]

I woulda liked to see Selle maybe get some time in this game earlier. Then again that is sometimes a recipe for desparate self-destruction

[DuckDuckGriz]

Still 2 timeouts

RALLY CAP!!!
xxpicx

[MaroonMafia]

Does a rally drink count?

[DuckDuckGriz]

Does a rally drink count?

Is that an honest question?

[MTGrizzFan]

Is that an honest question?

i'm having one after that

good game weber....we have alot of things to clean up before next week

[Peems]

So after watching the Griz get their ass handed to them, I listen to Coach Hauck and here is what he says...

"this is their superbowl, they really got up for this game. When they recruit kids they don't say look at Utah or Hawai'i they point out the Montana game."

"Trevyn Smith never plays that good, he's a good back but really played better than he normally does" Really? The kid has led the Big Sky in rushing his first two years!!!

As a Griz fan I can say that Weber was CLEARLY the better team today, we fell apart in the second and could not stop Smith if our lives depended on it. Next week could get ugly...though it seems Eastern has problems of its own.

Congrats to Weber. St seemed like a pretty small crowd, though the weather might have had something to do with it.

[I Bleed Purple]

WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*cough*

Solid game.

[DuckDuckGriz]

WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*cough*

Solid game.

Congrats. If you can find a drink in Utah, drink up. xlolx

[grizbeer]

Awesome game Weber who. Hope you get 3rd paper Sunday - think you will? I mean, seriously, you kicked the Griz ass up and down the field, won every aspect football wise, think your paper will care, or is win this obsolete? Sorry to be bitter, because it was an inspired effort by WSU - so seriously, post your local press from and look forward from seeing how big a win this was in the Deseret. and look forward to seeing WSU in the playoffs.
