Cat/Griz, Griz/Cats, whatever you want to call it should be a great game this year.

Na, they’re good. 4 best teams are in Montana and the dakotas.

Yup NDSU, SDSU, UMT and UND are the 4 best teams. South Dakota and MSU are not on the same level this season. The records speak for themselves.
As much as I wish it were so, it’s not
Montana state is very good. Especially defensively. I think both teams have good offenses with a slight edge to Montana there, but today’s slow start was alarming. To convince me that our defense is at their level I’d need to see 3-4 games with today’s kind of outing. No more Idaho state games. Honestly, both teams look very evenly matched right now.

All that matters is having more points than the cats at the end of the Griz Cat gameAs much as I wish it were so, it’s not

I'm seeing very similar resumes for Bozeman (5-2) and UND (4-2).
(5-2) lost to Oregon, lost to SDSU, wins over San Diego, Mercyhurst, EWU, NAU and ISU
(4-2) lost to K-State and UM, wins over PSU, Valpo, UNI and YSU
Both have losses to FBS teams and FCS top 5
Both have wins over three weak FCS teams
Both have a win over a ranked FCS team.

Weird, all your posts would make someone think they matter much more to you than that. Every post you make is about State.

Almost feels like a bobcat football player took his lunch money. Just let it go man…he can't hurt you anymore.

The Defense will vastly improve when Kyon Loud returns
I just hope he can come back this year.

It’s a rivalry and the Cats knocked the Griz from likely hosting a playoff game to out of the playoffs my senior year when we beat the Cats and made at least the second round of the playoffs 3 years in a row prior.

The difference is UND lost in the Mecca of the FCS and the Griz would likely not be undefeated if it was at Alerus Center whereas the Cats choked their gold rush game and would have been boat raced in Brookings. UND was also competitive against K-State where as MSU might as well have been Hellgate High School against Oregon.

Oregon is worlds apart from K-State. That is very obvious and comparing margin of loss is ridiculous. We were lucky to pull off the win we had in a lot of ways over UND, I won't go tooting a horn about that one. It is in the win column, but again you can't compare that to a loss to the #2 team at home in OT any more than you can the FBS game.
Your reasoning and the fact that you can't get over missing the playoffs your senior year are childish. Get over it. The team was horrible when I was at UM, but we have all gotten over it. We play one time a year these days, leave your animosities for that week.

I am of the opinion that the only FCS playoff team the Cats have faced was SDSU which they lost. I would hold off on calling then Cats a top 5 team until they beat a team that will still be playing in December.

Best reason EVER to forfeit one’s objectivity. My first year as an undergrad at MSU was year number sixteen in the streak. You sound like a spoiled brat.

I agree with this to a point. I think there are some schematic things that will and did improve the D in the second half yesterday. But yes, losing an all conference player is not ideal!
I didn’t watch the cat game yesterday but it looks like ISU went toe to toe with them early as it was 20-14 early in the second quarter. Good to see them come out with some juice. Cooke’s numbers don’t look too bad as he was 20/37 for 307 yards 2 TD 1 INT. Just like when we played them, they couldn’t run the ball at all. They only had 36 yards on the ground.
If ISU wants to take the next step, then they have to have some semblance of a defense. They’ve got the offense where it needs to be to win games, but the defense can’t stop a runny nose. Regardless, the cats did exactly what I thought they would do to them. Perhaps a promising sign though that they surrendered 300 yards through the air.
