Appalachian State @ Montana Semifinal Game Thread

[APPS]

Both quarterbacks playing unusually poor.

You are not kidding

[appstate38]

YES!!!!! great answer APPS

[gbhmt]

We'd better see a lot of running this drive.

[GrizDen]

Impressive Drive ASU. Griz need to answer and put some points on the board, preferably 7 more.

[asknoquarter21]

Lot of game left for that....

Yes, but this is AE vs Chase right now

[Baller1]

ASU & UM fans...... ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED????????????? WHAT A BATTLE! GRIZ NEED A TD TO ANSWER!!!

[GrizDen]

This game should be Chase's hands, not Selle's. Come on.

Agreed 100%

[appstate38]

Anybody else about to half heart failure over this game?????

[Skjellyfetti]

COME ON DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TokyoGriz]

Montana was looking hot with the blocked punt then the TO....

Lets go Griz!

[gbhmt]

Anybody else about to half heart failure over this game?????

Got a defibrillator on hand.

[Skjellyfetti]

Anybody else about to half heart failure over this game?????

YES. HAVE DEFIB ON STANDBY

[Milo]

very entertaining game....as expected.

[APPS]

At least we are finally seeing some offenses

[appstate38]

Got a defibrillator on hand.

Gonna need itxthumbsupx

[Head Cat]

Both quarterbacks playing unusually poor.

Are you kidding. You must not be watching Edwards in this game. Dumb comment.

[gbhmt]

YES. HAVE DEFIB ON STANDBY

Nice post. :D

[Baller1]

The two turnovers that the officials have missed are KILLING the griz..... not making excuses... they were obvious.... what happened to replay??? no disrespect to ASU though.... you guys have more heart than anybody we have played..... EVER.... what an incredible game!!!!!!!!

[gbhmt]

Are you kidding. You must not be watching Edwards in this game. Dumb comment.

In terms of passing. Errant throws.

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

Better coverage on that kick.

[KiddBrewer]

still very impressed by the ESPN crew....

[appstate38]

HERE WE GO D

[APPS]

3:44 third quarter App leads 17-14

[appstate38]

OK I will say it.... Chase Reynolds is a load to tackle.

[gbhmt]

Great push by the O line.

[TokyoGriz]

Are you kidding. You must not be watching Edwards in this game. Dumb comment.

Think he was using the AE is superman as a basis for saying he was playing poor. Hes play decent not like superman though imo.

Selle is playing poor for sure. xmadx

[GrizDen]

Feed Chase, he's hungry.

[Edge316007]

The two turnovers that the officials have missed are KILLING the griz..... not making excuses... they were obvious.... what happened to replay??? no disrespect to ASU though.... you guys have more heart than anybody we have played..... EVER.... what an incredible game!!!!!!!!

What's the other "turnover"?

[Sam Minuteman]

IMHO Grizz need to pound the ball on the ground, so far I think the RB has looked good. And in the snow the offense has the upperhand knowing when he is going to make cuts......

[insideout08]

In terms of passing. Errant throws.

Lots of ASU drops. 18-33 for 213 is far better than 8-21 for 121.

[kick29]

i think everyone in the game has butterfingers and cannot catch the ball but each team as adjusted properly as expected from championship teams. i think that it will come down to the wire because neither team is going to run away with this game despite the weather. I think if anyone has the advantage it would be the team that slows the game down because it has been going fast.

[gbhmt]

OK I will say it.... Chase Reynolds is a load to tackle.

xnodx You could say the same about Moore. These two guys are playing fabulously.

[Milo]

The two turnovers that the officials have missed are KILLING the griz..... not making excuses... they were obvious.... what happened to replay??? no disrespect to ASU though.... you guys have more heart than anybody we have played..... EVER.... what an incredible game!!!!!!!!

I believe the whistle had blown on the turnover in question. It is not reviewable.

[APPS]

Are you kidding. You must not be watching Edwards in this game. Dumb comment.

Armanti is off a bit, not a dumb comment

[gbhmt]

Armanti is off a bit, not a dumb comment

Also, I said that BEFORE Armanti made consecutive huge plays. xthumbsupx

[BlackNGold]

ok JOHN WILEY.... GAMEPLAN IS TO COVER CHASE RENALDS .... ARE U WATCHING THE GAME....

[gbhmt]

And that's why Mariani is the best wideout in the country. Did you see his blocking?!?

[asknoquarter21]

haha ok last time......where was the speed?

[Baller1]

CHASEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Head Cat]

In terms of passing. Errant throws.
He's had ONE bad throw in the game. The rest are drops and that one bad route at the goal line

[gbhmt]

haha ok last time......where was the speed?

I don't get it. He's burning people. What more do you want?

[TokyoGriz]

haha ok last time......where was the speed?

Reynolds is so slow were is how is your D then? HAHA xsmiley_wix

[Pards Rule]

Chase Reynolds is a stud!!

[gbhmt]

Why aren't we still running? Reynolds is on fire.

[Skjellyfetti]

FOURTH QUARTER. LET'S GO DEFENSE

BEAT MONTANA

[KiddBrewer]

lets go d. you got this

[appstate38]

3rd and long.... Got get the stop!

[mtgrizfan4life]

The Chase is on!!!!!!! What about those cutbacks!

[APPS]

Fourth quarter starting, Good Guys 17, Griz 14

[ashram]

haha ok last time......where was the speed?

Felton wasn't the fastest back either, but I seem to remember him giving the Mountaineers a bit of trouble. xthumbsupx

[appstate38]

Do the Griz go for 3 if they don't convert here?

[Dblue]

Reynolds is so slow were is how is your D then? HAHA xsmiley_wix

What? xconfusedx

[AppMAN04]

4th quarter!! Lets go D...show em something

[asknoquarter21]

Reynolds is so slow were is how is your D then? HAHA xsmiley_wix

You aren't giving your O-Line enough credit

I am seeing an O-Line getting a 3 yard push per play

Reynolds has a great first step and quickness in a hole, but he isn't gonna take a sweep 70 yards.....between the tackles is his game.

[Baller1]

I believe the whistle had blown on the turnover in question. It is not reviewable.

your right.... but understand its frustrating from an opposing fan..... aside from that, what a game!! you guys are "WHAT WE THOUGHT YOU WERE"...... and I think we are surprising people with our speed and physicality at the line...... I think I speak for EVERY Montana fan when I say.... I hope to GOD that the game isn't on the line with the ball in Armanti's hands........ SO PROUD OF BOTH TEAMS!!!xthumbsupx

[Edge316007]

Do the Griz go for 3 if they don't convert here?

Depends how many yards they pick up. I'd tie the game if it's over 4th and 5.

[gbhmt]

Do the Griz go for 3 if they don't convert here?

Depends on how far we get on 3rd down.

['neers80]

i bet nebraska wish they had those clock operators last week ... anyone catch that 02 seconds left when they threw the ball out of bounds just now?

[Milo]

Was Frazier (#42) just tackled blitzing off the corner?

[kick29]

when the game slows down it will be better for either team. motana's weakness would be dropping back and throwing the ball. Their defense has shown up for sure and has had some trouble with app state and they need to adjust if they are wanting to win. But at the same time app state's defense has to adjust because montana has opened up their offense and that is why their running game has worked for them in the second half despite the tournovers. Because i think that tournovers are an excuse for anyone doing well, regaurdless if then are obviously not. The app state drop balls that are tournovers have nothing to do with that game it is an excuse to call out. Because the officials are part of the game and they are human.

[gbhmt]

You aren't giving your O-Line enough credit

I am seeing an O-Line getting a 3 yard push per play

Reynolds has a great first step and quickness in a hole, but he isn't gonna take a sweep 70 yards.....between the tackles is his game.

He's done it before. Quite a few times in fact.

[Pards Rule]

Ready for a great 4th quarter!

[mtbigdog]

hell of a game go montana. time to our usual 4th qtr afterburner

[appstate38]

That should have been a pick

[gbhmt]

Sambrano bailed Selle out there.

[Sam Minuteman]

Grizz just got REAL LUCKY on that throw that it didn't get picked!!

[Pards Rule]

Good tied at 17

[APPS]

He's had ONE bad throw in the game. The rest are drops and that one bad route at the goal line

Look Villanova guy, he has missed receivers here and there all game and looks hesitant on the run. Now it is the fourth quarter so it is HIS TIME to turn it up.

[gbhmt]

Ladies and gents, we got a game!

[kick29]

tied.. like i said whoever slows it down will win. period

[mtgrizfan4life]

Heart attack waiting to happen in this game.

[Edge316007]

your right.... but understand its frustrating from an opposing fan..... aside from that, what a game!! you guys are "WHAT WE THOUGHT YOU WERE"...... and I think we are surprising people with our speed and physicality at the line...... I think I speak for EVERY Montana fan when I say.... I hope to GOD that the game isn't on the line with the ball in Armanti's hands........ SO PROUD OF BOTH TEAMS!!!xthumbsupx

Well, Quick's "fumble" didn't result in any points so you can't use that as an excuse.

Tie game...didn't look like App tried to block that at all.

[gbhmt]

Grizz just got REAL LUCKY on that throw that it didn't get picked!!

I was about to throw my computer across the room on that one.

[appstate38]

17-17 did we want this one any other way?

[AppMAN04]

0-0 The Armanti show is about to be kicking into high gear !!

[ashram]

Don't know how McDuffie didn't end up with that one. The ball must be really hard to catch today.

[TokyoGriz]

Good guys tie it up 17 - 17

edit damn radio is way off!

[gbhmt]

17-17 did we want this one any other way?

Yes. A 35-7 Griz victory would have been much better for my heart! :p

[appstate38]

Heart attack waiting to happen in this game.

Hang in there till end before you croak!

[Baller1]

Well, Quick's "fumble" didn't result in any points so you can't use that as an excuse.

Tie game...didn't look like App tried to block that at all.

we don't make excuses in Montana...... it was just obvious

[Pards Rule]

What temp out there in Missoula??

[gbhmt]

Don't know how McDuffie didn't end up with that one. The ball must be really hard to catch today.

It really is. Lots of drops on both sides.

[GrizDen]

The Griz crowd is HYPED!!

[Pards Rule]

FUMBLE!!

[asknoquarter21]

wow

[gbhmt]

Anybody hear him compare it to Autzen??

[Pards Rule]

OMG APP RECOVERED

[appstate38]

That could have been BIG

[Edge316007]

Win or lose, every player on the team needs to run a mile with the football firmly attached to their hands, Remember the Titans style.

[gbhmt]

Oh man. Imagine what's going through that returner's head as he's sliding/crawling towards that ball.

[MorgantonAPPAlum]

AE needs to take control.

[Pards Rule]

It would have been HUGE

[TokyoGriz]

Lets go D!

[gbhmt]

It would have been HUGE

Colossal. But now we gotta get a stop.

[Baller1]

ANY crAPPY ST. FANS WANT TO DEBATE HOW LOUD IT IS IN MISSOULA?????

[Pards Rule]

Big 3 & 3

[APPS]

okay I will now stop typing and put on my oxygen mask for the rest of the game

[kick29]

i am just talking about even though things are obvious it is an excuse if you complain about it. because nothing is reveiwable in FBS.

[Pards Rule]

First down to Quick

[Sam Minuteman]

Great catch by app. #8!

[gbhmt]

Awkward hit on Quick there. A little shaken up.

[GrizDen]

The Griz D is layin some pain. Nice tackling Griz.

[Sam Minuteman]

I can't believe the Grizz defense hasn't created a turnover in this snow......

[gbhmt]

This is the most tense I've ever felt right here.

[Pards Rule]

First down Klein picks up 26

[gbhmt]

WHERE'S THE F***ING COVERAGE???

[appstate38]

[Dblue]

[gbhmt]

[PhoenixPhan]

Wow Montana, where'd your O-line go?

[gbhmt]

Muff it!

[Pards Rule]

At 19

[GrizDen]

ASU Defense stepped up big those last three plays. I'm completely stressed out.

[gbhmt]

Baaaaaad punt. Way not not capitalize on that TO. xnonono2x

[T-Dog]

Honestly, I wouldn't even have anyone back to receive the punt. Just let it bounce and die.

[TokyoGriz]

Lets go D! need short yardage on a TO!

[gbhmt]

Wow Montana, where'd your O-line go?

Probably wondering why we stopped running the ball.

[Pards Rule]

Griz need to dump them 3 and out here to get ball in good position for a game winning drive

[appstate38]

Clock running down!!! Butt holes getting tight.....

[KiddBrewer]

Clock running down!!! Butt holes getting tight.....

beers flowing faster....

[Skjellyfetti]

Nice job defense.

Time for redemption for Armanti.

[AppStateSVX]

Go APP!!!

let's see Armanti work some magic

[Sam Minuteman]

Honestly, I wouldn't even have anyone back to receive the punt. Just let it bounce and die.


Yea app is lucky none of these short punts by Montana have hit App players with backs turned.......

[Pards Rule]

[Zangzigger]

This has turned into a phenomenal game

[Pards Rule]

Almost picked - completed to TE
