Manase Tupou Commits

HHB is a dipshit.

Hater.

A single wide with a ply wood addition that has broken steps climbing up it.

"Plywood" smart guy.

What do you expect from Triple H, the humble Helena Human Hemorrhoid ?

Back to football: who doesn't want a 6-2, 320 lb--I am guessing our staff will have him slim down a little.--Samoan and DT in their 4-3-4/ 4-2-5 ?

I think Nut is right --he likely plays @ 310-320 lbs. for us, and I think Hooked has it spot on--Dylan Cook's legacy looms very big at UM and even bigger @ Northern in Havre.

You sound like an 8 year old with your goofy name calling. Witty you are not.

I'm new here. Do you always take things so literally?

Yes

Yes

Stats of any kind?

 

[DayLaw]

Looks like 8 tackles, and one sack which isn’t bad for a DT. Got all frontier conference honorable mention so maybe he can get into the rotation. We certainly need people there.

Here’s the stats posted on the recruiting page Looking at those stats, that’s exactly what he has been and will be. 35 total tackles(20 solo), 3.5 TFL, 1 sack, 2 FF. Big man will occupy space and blocks and let the LB’s work.

So probably a depth piece then. I suspect Bailey and Semaulo will be the starters and Wallace and Tupou will be in the rotation.

With Manase and Zaiden, Coach BK and the coaches are doing what many have asked/demanded for years. Get a couple of 300+ lb DTs. Everyone should be ecstatic they have delivered.

I mean honestly though, its like every team in the big sky has a big fat guy but us.

It’s amazing that they just started to exist again. I feel bad for Bobby that these guys just weren’t around for him……

Looks like he made Honorable Mention East Division of the Frontier which includes Northern, Tech, Rocky, Valley City, Mayville State, Valley City, and Dakota State.

Welcome to Griz Nation Mr. Tupou & family!

 

[Skookum-Jim]

He'll be a solid addition to the interior DL rotation. It makes the team better they definitely needed some capable big men on the interior.

 

[Raider]

OK Hooked, enlighten me please. How does one go from FBS to NAIA?

This happens all the time. Last year the starting RB for Tech was a transfer from Mississippi State. In fact, I think they had a few FBS transfers.

 

[SinCityGriz2005]

well we wanted some DL beef….how about 340 lbs of it!

Tupou started his career with Utah St and then ended up at MSU Northern.
