Cats v Yale

[Dont Kick 2 Bergen]

I don't care which team you are playing, score until the clock reads zeros. You won't lose a single game with a drastic comeback by doing that

For all the praise Brungard got, he is reason #1 why they lost that game.

After their last TD, he went 5/13 passing for 41 yards the rest of the way, including 0/5 on his final 5 throws after starting the game 18/22 for 276 yards and 3 TDs.

I provided my Bobcat scouting report to the Yale coaches. I provided Brint's Cat scouting report on the Cats to several of my Yale friends, as well as my scouting report. Several of my friends have skied with me at Big Sky and come to MT at other times. One of them sent me the following: "Like all cats, the bobcats have cockiness as part of their nature and one of Yale’s best hopes is to be underestimated. Still, MSU has a deep team and is battle tested against other outfits from schools where football is a religion and not a recruiting arm for Goldman Sachs.

Yale should thank you for your help!
Cheers"

This friend went to law school at Yale with Bill and Hillary Clinton. One of his professors was James Moore, who grew up in MT. Moore was the leading bankruptcy law scholar of his generation. He died in 1994.

"He was born on a farm in Condon, Ore., and attended a one-room school in rural Montana. In 1922, at age 18, he graduated from Montana State College in Bozeman with high honors, and in 1934 he graduated cum laude from the University of Chicago Law School.

After earning a doctorate at Yale Law School, he taught at Chicago for two years.

Professor Moore was the Sterling Professor Emeritus of Law at Yale University, where he taught for 37 years. He was also the author of the 34-volume "Moore's Federal Practice" (2d ed., 1948) and the three-volume "Moore's Manual: Federal Practice & Procedure" (1962)."

Hoops you weren't on the island with Clinton and Epstein were you.

Skip to the 6:00 mark to hear Bobby on rotating centers.

No, I understand that he said it's common. He lied to you about it being common, it absolutely is not common to rotate centers. Again, I beg you to watch a little football outside of Montana.

I do watch a lot of football outside of Montana. Another example of a team that rotates oline was Michigan State earlier in the year they had 8 guys seeing significant playing time on the offensive line. NFL guys rotate in on the offensive line all the time. Dan Skipper on the Lions for example has largely been a rotational player on the Lions instead of a starter for most of his career.

It's not common for the coaches stuck in the 1970s. Get with the times or be left behind. I'm predicting Vigen does the same thing or something very similar next year because he is a copy cat.

*sigh*

I have already explained how some years a team will rotate at a position trying to determine who should be the starter. You commonly see somebody like Skipper who is a swing tackle, or plays a 6th OL. You almost never see it at the center position. That's the point I'm trying to make. It is absolutely not common to rotate centers.

I think MSU is doing pretty good on the OL front

Yeah I agree it is not common to rotate centers but it is common to rotate all other positions on the line.

 

[mthoopsfan]

I've seen teams rotate at a specific position when they're trying to figure out who the best player is, but it is incredibly uncommon to see a team rotate their entire offensive line during a game. Please watch football outside of Montana. Go rewatch some of the college games from last weekend and see how many teams rotated offensive lineman.

No one said UM rotates its whole OL, but they rotate players on the OL. They try to get various players reps, develop them, and let them have some fun. You are the one who needs to get out more to understand football. Why don't you do an analysis of all football teams from last weekend, and tell us which ones didn't rotate any OL.

This year's Cat OL is fine, maybe even good, but it's nothing near what it's been in past years. This from a former Cat OL starter relative of mine.

I was invited by some of the women, but didn't go.

But it is absolutely done sometimes. That's our point to you. Who cares if it's common or not?

Just because it's absolutely not common to rotate centers doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do.

Maybe it's why the Michigan State coaches were fired.

 

[bigkid]

Please please play the center that can snap the ball to Ah Yat. Not high, not low, not left, and not right but TO him. There were so many bad snaps and it completely disrupted the timing of plays.

 

[Bobcat99]

I wouldn't disagree that they're not as good as they have been in prior years. They're definitely still good, and plenty more than fine.

But it is absolutely done sometimes. That's our point to you. Who cares if it's common or not?

I was responding to a comment being made that Hauck had said rotating centers is common. I disputed that, because it is not common. You already went through this earlier with Kyle Sample, I believe, and if you weren't willing to listen then, you won't be now either.

 

[Bobcat99]

Just because it's absolutely not common to rotate centers doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do.

Debatable. It makes a fun discussion at least.

What you want to do is build a strong rapport between the center and the QB. Rotating them can keep from that happening, and it doesn't always allow on offensive line to gel like they should. Hence why teams don't traditionally rotate at offensive line like they do at other positions. You could argue that by rotating both of them you'll eventually get two that the QB has a good rapport with, but I'm just not sure that it's worth the unnecessary risk. If you want to call it a competition battle, fine, call it that. I'm good with that. But rotating centers? I think there's a good reason why basically nobody does it.

 

[GrizGuy]

Ya, it was 35/7 and is going to be ugly for them in Bozeman. It will look similar to the last two times UM played there.

None of the Ivies really deserve to be in other than the auto bid. Yale is gonna get trucked in Bozeman. I will delight in it, if MSU loses, but I can’t see a world in which that happens if both teams play their best. 55-7, kittens.
