Montana laying waste to the UNDies

[Schism55]

Get 'em Griz!

[TheKingpin28]

Get 'em Griz!

It's that new locker room. That is what is going to win them the BS.

[Professor Chaos]

Total yardage 430 to 99 right now. Griz up 34-3.

[POD Knows]

Montana threw three picks in the first half and are still pounding them

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Good

UND sucks!!

[dewey]

Go Griz!

I was at the game and UND looks really bad. If they would of had a decent qb we might have been in trouble.

[F'N Hawks]

Really worth a thread. Check the injury report first before wasting people's time.

Blah, blah, blah.....every team has injuries. Depth, UND doesn't have it.

You could say they are getting their UNDies in a wad...

As they should. This proves nothing.

I was at the game and und should have just forfeited from the start. the players looked up and saw the new athlete center and folded. I actually felt sorry for the QBs as they looked totally green and not just because of the uniforms.

yes no doubt about it.

I am not trying to pick and be a dick to UND, I got nothing against them at all and I know damn well they are a MASH unit right now but...damn they looked small on the lines which has been mentioned a few weeks back and I know that was supposed to be by design for quickness etc. but it really isn't working and their run game was just gone and as you mentiioned they looked very poor with the QB and receivers being able to get anything going today.

We are getting better but god damn they made us look fairly decent today. We are also coming out of the locker room not looking like an Anesthesiologist got ahole of them at the 1/2 which helps a whole lot. If Griz Jensen just get a little better at protecting that football then I think we will be leaps and bounds better as well. He had a hell of a game outside of the turnovers for certain.

Right now my expectations are that it's a plus if we hold a team under 40. That's about it.

[Catbooster]

The Grizzlies offense almost scored as many points as the UND defense has averaged giving up in conference play, and the Grizzly defense held them to less than their scoring average in conference (of course, their starting qb was out). Congratulations! xcoffeex

Edit: Oops - if you include the Northern Colorado win, the Griz held them well below their scoring average.

I get it man and I've felt that way a few times over the last few years. We are good for 40 against almost anyone in the BSC I think so you have plenty of company there but our strength so far this year is against the run and we just happened to match up well with that side and our strength on O being passing just wasn't good for UND but as I said man, UND is one of the most dinged up units and things are not good right now.

Better luck going forward boys, I know this season is a waste at this point but wishing you luck in doing some damage to end things this year anyway.xthumbsupx

our season is not a waste. We will win out in Big Sky play and that puts us in good shape. heck you know we will get one home play off game because we have the stadium and the fans even the day after turkey day we can pack in twice as many people as most other teams.

Silly Cat fan, who was even praising us? I realize posts like that are a reflex, but settle man!

Ah, I must not have been clear with that, I didn't mean our season is a waste but I think UND's is at this point at they are way out of whack from what they and hell a lot of us expected for them this year. At this point I think we are fine. Hope it stays that way.

I also didn't see us as being praised or acting like this was something great and I didn't get it either...and Cboost usually nails it.

That's an aggressive statement. At this exact point last season, the Griz were 5-2. Fans were talking about winning out and possibly getting a seed in the playoffs, but if not, a definite home game. The only difference was the remaining schedule last year was a little easier than it is this season.

Yeah this new guy is a bit of a super homer

Mizztowngriz has a nice ring to it.

[veinup]

i like the optimism.

[WeAreThePride]

Just think of how angry UN_'s gonna be this off season. I bet they lift weights like crazy with all this fuel.

Or, there might be so much fuel that a single spark causes them to burn up into ash.

[WeAreThePride]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate that before the season, UN_ was supposed to be a peer to the likes of YSU, SDSU, and Eastern Washington? Beautiful.

We have one tough game left and it is not that tough.

perhaps but I like what I am seeing.

the Griz are doing the right things at the right time.

No. After the 5-1 start, the Griz had NAU & Eastern on the road back-to-back.


I guess a collapse could happen, but it seems much of last year's decline was chemistry related & I don't see that being a problem this time. I suppose Jensen could turn into a pumpkin or something.

The Griz have to win at least 1, maybe 2, of the following 3 games to get in the playoffs: @WEB, NAU, @MSU (I'm not worried about NoCo). NAU will be tough, but it's at home; Weber doesn't look nearly as daunting as it did 24 hours ago, and the Griz haven't lost in Bozeman since 2005. I'd put UM's chances at getting in above 50%… maybe not much above 50%, but still above 50%.

They will all have to lift in separate rooms because of the danger of spontaneous combustion.

We have one tough game left and it is not that tough.

Your pass defense is still suspect and you have three tough games left.

Pickem @ Weber, slight home favorite against NAU, slight road favorite against MSU.

I only see one tough game left and it is only tough because Bozo could improve a bit if they can stay healthy and anything can happen in that game. Weber is was overrated and last evening proved that. If NAU was in Flagstaff they would be tough but not at home. heck we will be far up the polls this week and every week further up the ladder. We are improving where we need to improve at the right time of the year....Go griz.

Well then, when can we deliver the trophy?

Hopefully we will meet in the playoffs. I think you only have one tough one left (next week) as well so unless you really choke, which has happened you should win the big sky.

Yeah your rise has been meteoric since the opening polls.

Sorry, not ready to crown us yet. SUU and Weber will both be tough and PSU almost always plays well against us.

You guys have been winning Big Sky titles with a suspect defense for years.

No argument here and it still is. I just wouldn't chalk up NAU as a win yet with the way Cookus and Marks have been playing.

I'm not chalking any of ours yet.

Feel better?

[MTfan4life]

No. I referenced the Griz being 5-2, so they had already lost to NAU. Last season at this point, the Griz were staring at what should have been 3 easy wins and one game against EWU. As we know, they screwed up two of those three games that shouldn't have been a problem. This season at this point, the Griz still have to go to Weber State, they host Northern Arizona, play a Montana State team that is miles above their record (losses to Wazzu, SDSU, EWU, and Weber), and play a Northern Colorado team that likes to put points on the board. I'd say this season's last four looks a little bit tougher than last season's last four when they were at that point.

Hangover is starting to subside, thanks for asking. I'm not mad and I don't think Weber, NAU or even the cats are a given at this point. But even with the shaky pass defense this I have a lot more faith in this team as whole than last year.xthumbsupx

Bit salty are we? I guess being out of the playoffs two weeks before Halloween will do that to a fella, but really, you should be used to it by now.
