Thanks

Spanky,

I’ll be with you 100% 5 minutes before kickoff :thumb:

Of course I’ll have a BAC hovering around .250 and the thought, more of a feeling really, will soon wither alway. But For a few moments, anything is possible.

:lol: :lol:

I’d put the Griz odds of winning at 5%. Although I will point out that NDSU has upset a top five big-10 team, has beaten a couple of big-12 teams, and has taken down a mountain west team or two in the past decade. So there is hope. I just don’t think there’s much of it. I would like to see a closer outcome in this game than in the past. I’d consider a two score loss a resounding success.

NDSU has some good upsets the past 10 years. I wonder if their fans were saying they would lose before those games were played?

Spanky, there is not a single person that said the Griz couldn't win, but common sense would lead a person to believe that they will most likely not. I just don't understand your outrage.

If the Griz were to beat UW, it would be the lead story on ESPN. Just like App State beating Michigan was. That tells you all you need to know about what fans (and non-fans) think of our chances.

Helena, take a look at the other thread predicting game scores. Do you think that is appropriate? I’m not outraged, more like embarrassed that these people call themselves Griz fans. Allow me to remind you that I’m well aware the Griz are underdogs.

Set your recorder for Sat. Sept. 4, early evening so you can re-live the historical moment and blast it all over eGriz. "And the squeal of the Dawg will float on the air, from the tummy of the Grizzly Bear!" Like think positive vibes, man. :lol:

Looks like Bobby Hauck brought in a grad transfer Kicker to bolster that position. That seemed like the one glaring weak spot on the roster. Hope he can be a plug-n-play kicker. Welcome Griz Nation!

I don't see any issue with it and suggest you grow a thicker skin. Also, are you just as outraged when those same posters predict the Griz to win 50-0?

We will see. The kid was a punter only until ASU had him start doing kickoffs due to injuries.
