Quarterfinal Odds

[griz4life]

I never thought of it until now, but if the Griz practice indoors on Friday, do we have to offer the bubble to the visitors for a couple of hours? If the Griz have heated benches they have to be offered to the visitors logic.

Good question. I don't think Montana has to provide a similiar practice facility. However, the rules are different on game day.
For example, when the Griz played at Wyoming in 2014, there was a long weather delay. The Cowboys went to their indoor practice facility, kept limber and practiced. The Griz, meanwhile, were stuck in their locker room. Once the refs figured out what was going on, they made Wyoming give the Griz practice time before the game resumed.

Craig Bohl at his finest, right there.

I was told by multiple people, including Cats, that the Cats were fortunate to win the game. They said Yale was a good team.

Yale matched them in the trenches on both sides of the ball. They were an excellent team. Everyone said the cats played bad but the Yale athletes and coaching had a lot to do with that. I don't expect SFA to be that good but I really don't know much about them.

Thx.

Before I lay any money on SFA, I would like to know:

Will the entire starting offense spend the night drinking for free at The Crystal?

Hahahaha, you are showing your age. Who around here remembers?

100% agree

Sheeet. I was old then!

I do. SFA was supposed to be shit-hot that year. It’s funny how hot teams get humbled by the Griz. Not to mention the 9 or 10 lost fumbles.

I don't buy it. I think Yale figured out how to defend them. Lamson had nowhere to run, and they shut down the passing game. I also think Yale came in with stout offensive and defensive lines that matched msu's physicality. SFA has the QB and athletes to expose that defense. I also don't buy the whole Texans playing in the cold thing. Remember Coastal Carolina? If I recall, that game was around zero degrees. They did just fine.

Yes they dressed for the cold. Our Griz came out in summer gear & bare skin. Real macho.

I never understood why they do that. Maybe a former player can help me understand?

10 game winning streak, if at full strength on defense as they have had some injuries hampering dline.

I won't be surprised if SFA holds up well or pulls the upset. This years FCS has more parity than anytime in recent history.

 

[RABIDAWG]

We beat SFA 70-14 in 1995 in the semi at home. We named our charter flight “77to14” on the way to Marshall. So, go SFA, BEAT THE KITTENS! Love to play them in a semi final again!

This game is going to be tight. SFA is big and deep. Tough matchup for anyone.

We know something about the SFA QB. He can spin it.

With the Griz and ISU out of town one weekend, I actually went to Bozo for the SFA game one year(2005 or 2012), day game. Mid-September, mild weather in SE Idaho, slight drizzle, but Bozo was a different story. Nearly the same elevation, but east of the Divide. I about froze my ass off, not dressed for wind and sleet. Thats why I ended up with a down filled winter coat, MSU Cats logo, no less. AAAND matching stocking cap. As Karl Malden famously said in the advertisement, 'The American Express Card, Don't Leave Home Without It.'
Now that I have admitted it, YES, I do have scat logo wear. In great condition, hardly ever worn.

Here's the tale of the tape, history wise. Finals are over Thursday, so students are gone. But, the goddamned weather favors the scats.
GO Jacks!!! FTC!!!

I just don't not see it. Their conference stinks.

Outside of FBS Houston, who have they played?

Griz are going to cover easily. Again - bet the over.

We know something about the SFA QB. He can spin it.

Yea he's certainly good. Probably better than KAY so the cat defense will have to play better than they did against him.

So you are saying he will be the best QB on the field Friday?
