Hauck will coach at UM as long as he wants to, could it be 10 years?

[billingsgriz]

Was Bobby the coach?

No, but his mentors Don Read and Mick Dennehy were--we haven't played Oregon State in football since that 1996 GRIZ 35-14 beatdown in Corvallis--Bobby was I believe an assistant under Neuheisel then @ UCLA or Colorado. In probably the greatest upset in the history of GRIZ football, 101 years in the making, Bobby led us to a huge upset over Washington in 2021 in Seattle 13-7--last GRIZ victory over UDUB coming in 1920 also during the last pandemic before Covid, Spanish Flu, 1918-1920. ( We also played the Huskies in 2017 inder Bob Stitt in 2017, a 63-7 UW blowout in Seattle. : ( !!! )

 

[UMcheer2000]

Wrong. UM has beaten SDSU and NDSU in past 25 months and other good MV teams as well. It has worked out fine.

Have they done that when it really counted?

0-5 in NC games.. when things really matter.

Bobby, replenish the tanks in the trenches.

Lose the 3-3-5

 

[mthoopsfan]

What do you notice with Bobby's record against the Cats?
2018 - 6-5 overall, 4-4 in conference, loss to Cats by 4 in Missoula
2019 - 10-4 overall, 6-2 in conference, loss to Cats by 34 in Bozeman
2020 - no season
2021 - 10-3 overall, 6-2 in conference, win over Cats by 19 in Missoula
2022 - 8-5 overall, 4-4 conference, loss to Cats by 34 in Bozeman
2023 - 13-2 overall, 7-1 in conference, win over Cats by 30 in Missoula
2024 - 9-5 overall, 5-3 in conference, loss to Cats by 23 in Bozeman
2025 - 13-2 overall, 7-1 in conference, loss to Cats by 3 in Missoula, loss to Cats by 25 in Bozeman.

So 2 of last 3 season were 13-2. Yes, haven’t been beating the Cats. Except for Cats and SDSU in 1 game, beat everyone in National that we played including Dakota and MV in those 2 years. Very good Seasons except the Cat problem.

What can Griz beat Dalota and MV teams and Cats can’t. What’s wrong with the Cats?

O-5 in national champ games in last 3 seasons? What’s wrong with Cats? Griz have won National champ game twice in last 30 years and Cats haven’t. Griz have been in lots more semi games.

The 3-3-5 is what makes UM competitive. Trenches were fine this year. Could be finer, of course.

Your last parragraph is almost impossible to understand.

If you're asking why the bobcats can't beat mvfc teams? the simple answer is they can.

MSU beat SDSU in the semi-final game in 2021 to get to the title game, and last year they beat USD in the semi-final game to get to the championship game.. you're welcome.

[tourist]

There is proof that the Griz can beat the Cats, win the Big Sky, AND be National Champions. Just not in Bobby 2.0

If you look at historical results, the Griz are good in odd years and mediocre to slightly above mediocre in the even years.

2018 - 6-5 overall, 4-4 in conference, loss to Cats by 4 in Missoula
2019 - 10-4 overall, 6-2 in conference, loss to Cats by 34 in Bozeman
2020 - no season

2024 - 9-5 overall, 5-3 in conference, loss to Cats by 23 in Bozeman
2025 - 13-2 overall, 7-1 in conference, loss to Cats by 3 in Missoula, loss to Cats by 25 in Bozeman.

If everything goes to historical results, the 2026 Griz will be 9-5 overall, 5-3 in conference, and lose to the Cats by 28 in Bozeman.

Nostradamus is immortal, and living in Minnesota. In what quatrain did you put this prediction, Michel?
I'm not saying you are wrong, but......lets at least hope for Divine Intervention with Bobby. Perhaps a little like Ned Beatty(Arthur Jensen) in 'Network' communicating with Peter Finch(Howard Beale).

Then, we can all go open the windows and shout,
"I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore!"

 

[5280Griz]

What MVFC teams other than NDSU and SDSU have the Cats had a problem beating?

Cats haven’t beaten UND in 8 years, lost 16-12 last time you played and have close to a .500 overall record against UND at 4-3.

 

[mthoopsfan]

What MVFC teams other than NDSU and SDSU have the Cats had a problem beating?

Look it up if you want. I posted the stats in another thread on the subject. The Cats seem to be afraid to schedule MV teams, unlike the Griz. The Griz have beaten both of those teams in playoffs in last 3 seasons. Don't think Cats have. Why can't Cats beat them?

Want to beat $100 on the champ game? At the spread. My son said it was 10.5 yesterday. Let me know. Offer expires in 24 hours.

Thanks. How did you get to be a pretty good poster in the last several days? Finally started listening to me? Ha.

 

[Ut-Grizfan]

He cherry picked games. How many times do I have to tell you that? He didn’t list stats for all games in the period. You are dumb as a post. And what Hauck did in the turnaround years after his return is NOT relevant.

Typical deflection and refusal to answer because it will prove as usual that you're full of it. You're a moron . If Haucks record overall against the top teams in FCS is "irrelevant" as you claim then so is our record against the MVFC the last 3 seasons, especially if we're padding our record against the likes of Indiana State.

 

[Ut-Grizfan]

We have won our last two games in Corvallis.

In 1990 and 1996, don't think either hold relevance for our matchup in 2026. We will have a chance as they will be rebuilding, but we need to fix things on our end as well to have the best chance possible.

 

[billingsgriz]

Bobby, replenish the tanks in the trenches.

Agree, Cheer, we are a good to great team and we have a very potent O and our 3-3-5 defense has won a lot of games, but I do think if we adopt the more balanced 4-3-4 or 4-2-5, we will have a much better chance of winning another national championship(a). !!!

How we do in Corvallis next year win or loss probably also has little relevance in our chances to win an FCS national title when Oregon State is not in the FCS. Even if we pull off the upset there is a good chance it could turn out Oregon State is just not a good team next season. Likewise they could be a competitive FBS team next season and blow us out and we are still able to win every game in the FCS. MSU this season for example looked horrible against Oregon but that did not mean anything for how they were going to do in the FCS.

You're not wrong, it was more just part of highlighting the fact that our away schedule next season is going to be rough from a historical standard and overall:

EWU: Only have 1 win on the Red Turf since it was installed in 2010 and their Freshman QB almost beat us in Wa-Griz this year.

Davis: The #3 team in the Big Sky the last few years, if they survive the Transfer Portal and stay healthy they'll be tough to beat.

NAU: Our NC team got dominated in a notoriously difficult place to play, Jacks are a middle of the pack type Big Sky team but even then will be tough at home (see Idaho State this year for example).

OSU: FBS team

Bozeman: After this year there are lots of threads and comments on this issue so I'll just leave it at this: If we don't make changes the results won't change.

 

[Bobcat99]

So because MSU hasn't played UND since 2019, with a completely different coach and roster, that means MSU can't beat UND? What kind of twisted logic is this?

 

[mthoopsfan]

Yes. And they haven't done well against SDSU and NSSU either. Are Cats 0-3 against them in playoffs in last 3 seasons?

Do you count all of the Griz close and good wins as losses? Is that how you do it? I always thought that at the end of the day, you just counted whether it was a win or loss. To me a close win goes in the WIN column.
