Cal Poly SLO Mustangs scouting report

Yes, they seem to give them away or sell them. At homecoming the last couple of years there were entirely different groups of people around me than normal. I'm not able to get to games this year, but that was my experience since I moved back to Missoula
IMO, it's the parade with the family. It reduces the amount of time people have to pre-game at tailgates.
 
I'm not sure this is the case because when you think about it, we have about 19.5k season ticket holders, and every game but Homecoming is for the most part pretty chaotic atmosphere-wise. So then the question becomes what is different about homecoming that the crowd is more tame? Do lots of season ticket owners give there tickets away to alumni to attend the game? Is it truly the competition that the Griz play during homecoming that doesn't have the fans worked up? Not sure it's that either because like I said, just about every game during the regular season is pretty loud no matter the opponent, but homecoming just feels off.
I quit going to HC games 6 years ago. The crowd and energy is drab compared to all the other games including the earlier season games when it’s 90+ degrees out. I usually give my tickets to my boss who is a 1951 graduate.
 
It's gonna be a good game. Cal Poly is a hell of a lot better than last year, and then they've been a while. Brint called this and ISU scary games. I'm paraphrasing. Bo Kelly is a good QB who knows the system well. Briscoe is one of the best WR in the conference. I do think the GRIZ will come out swinging in this one, and Buster Douglas won't be beating Mike Tyson this week.
 
I leave it and not care at all. You're not playing San Diego, Western Oregon or SFA so the big arm can have a seat next to your big mouth, it won't matter.
Somebody started drinking Labatte Blue a bit early! Woah!

I thought the fine mountain-folk of Missoula were supposed to show hospitality and welcome. Hopefully it's the Texas speaking, and doesn't represent Montana fans.

Born and raised MONTANA GRIZZLIES.

Don't like it, stay in cali where you belong. There's too many of you in the glorious Big Sky already. You can have the buttwiper of canada too, that's not allowed in my house any more than a whorenet, laggy or a crustang.
 
SloStang, glad you checked in again. While nobody here shares your love of the Mustangs, some of us do appreciate you sharing your views on the team.

You are a good poster who has been around forever. Hope you stop by whenever we play. Also, hope you enjoy watching the Grizzlies bulldoze Poly on Saturday. Otherwise, hope Cal Poly has a good season.
I have met SloStang. Partied with SloStang. Attended a Griz/CP game in SLO with SloStang. He’s good peeps.
 
Oooh keyboard tough guy.
None of that was directed at you, but if you want to take a shot, jump froggy. I don't go out and troll opposition websites, but if that's your thing, don't expect that no one is going to give your crap back to you.

You are right! What is the answer? My comment was meant to be funny, but I didn’t get any laughs.
Maybe the alumni are partied out from the Friday night activities and the fact that they had to get up early for the parade.
 
Deiffenbach is our starting QB who played limited minutes in 2 blow out wins and 1 blow out loss to Utah. He got hurt on the 8th offensive play in our 4th game against SF Austin and missed the rest of that game and both Sac State and UC Davis games with the injury. Our 2nd string QB went out with an injury the week of practice of the SFA game. Our 3rd string QB threw 3 picks including a pick six against SFA so we have started our 4th string QB the last two weeks against Sac State and UC Davis.

The good thing for Cal Poly is all 3 QBs bring something different to the game and I would imagine a DC would have a different game plan for each. All 3 were suited for UC Davis so who knows who the Griz will face. Deiffenbach is 6’6” 220 with and big arm and able to use his feet when the protection breaks down. Grisby is 5’11” 195 and is more of a threat in the read option run game and has a good arm. Kelly is 6’ 195 and is in his 4th season with Cal Poly who was a very comfortable running the offense.
Welcome back SLO! Great to see you on the board
 
Simply providing a little bit different perspective for this game.
First, ISU was the first road game for the Griz this year. Generally, people would expect the traveling team to a bit less efficient, if for no other reason than a disruption in routine!
Secondly, our defense was down two studs to start the game, and ISU took full advantage of that! Not having either Loud or Wing available allowed ISU to thrive on some of those pass plays in the middle of the field, and made the Griz defense look worse than they really were. If you doubt this, just look at the stats comparison between the 1st half and the 2nd half, once Wing was back in the game! One stat alone proves this point, 1st half, ISU - 24. Second half, ISU - 14!
I don't want to take anything away from ISU. They played a helluva game! But anyone who suggests that this game would have been that close if the Griz defense had been at full strength the whole game, in my opinion is delusional!

As for this week, if Loud plays, this could be decided early! If he does not, I still see Montana pulling away In the second half and winning by 2-3 scores.
