Big Sky

[Grizwold]

Well said 1122.

 

[2011BisonAlumni]

Weber State played UNI at home.
Montana played USD who was trash this year
Montana State played Western Illinois who was by far the worst MVFC team this year and won by 9
Sac State did not play a MVFC team

Overall the MVFC was 6-3 against the Big Sky

Did any of the Big Sky teams beat any seeded MVFC teams? No.

Did any Big Sky playoff teams beat MV playoff teams, or vice versa? That is the question. Why can't just you just answer questions? You bob and weave, but you aren't going to be able to get away with that with me.

I meant to say 6-4 earlier

Let me ask you this. Do you think the Big Sky has one team who will beat either NDSU or JMU?

4 teams that could beat JMU, just like the Griz did in about 2008, on the road in the semi at JMU when JMU was ranked No. 1. Probably not NDSU, but they aren't as good as they usually are either.

2008 JMU team was nowhere near the 2019 JMU team.....and that 2008 Montana team was a one loss team. They were far better than any of these four seeded teams.

Not an apples to apples comparison.

You are right that NDSU isn’t as good as they usually are. They are better than they usually are.

WHY ARE YOU SO DESPERATE FOR OUR VALIDATION??? :lol:

Sagarin rankings still have MVFC as the highest rated FCS conference.

Afraid? Definitely not NDSU. FBS teams will not schedule them. Hell, they have tried to schedule multiple games against SEC opponents and they have been shot down.

They have had to now go to the PAC 12 for future games.

Are you afraid to answer the question about how the seeded MV team or teams did against the seeded Big Sky teams this year?

In the Sagarin, 4 of the top 100 teams are from the Big Sky. 3 of the MV teams are in top 100.

If you are bragging about the bottom teams of the MV being better than the bottom teams of the Big Sky, have at it.

Did any of the Big Sky teams beat any seeded MVFC teams? No.

Why are you so bent out of shape that your conference isn’t as good as ours? It shouldn’t matter to you.

Your team still is the odds-on favorite to win the title, so why do you care so much that you’re on egriz.com on a Sunday night arguing with Griz fans about hypothetical bullshit?

Those MVFC teams could go 0-3 in the playoffs, and it wouldn’t make your championship any less legitimate.

NDSU is still the prettiest girl at the ball, it’s just that the rest of the MVFC is a little down this season, and the Big Sky has stepped up to fill the void.

Relax.

Definitely do not think NDSU is the odds on favorite. I think a title game against JMU is a coin flip.

If the Griz win their first playoff I think you will get a good answer to your questions as they would have a good chance to play UNI or SDSU.

Actually, the 2008 JMU team was better than the 2019 JMU team.

Davis v. NDSU at Fargo: 27-16.

The next week, UM at Davis, 45-20.

Weber over Davis at Davis, 36-20.

MSU at Davis, 27-17.

Sac St over Davis 27-17.

I guess the only teams NDSU could beat up on this year, were the weak teams in MV.

Wait, are you saying you haven’t posted 945 times (including about 35 times this weekend) on another team’s board that hasn’t played the Griz since 2015 to beg and plead for that team’s fans to agree with you about how the Griz would do in games that didn’t/don’t involve the Griz?

Weird.

Weber State played UNI at home.
Montana played USD who was trash this year

USD was such trash that they beat SDSU, oh, but for the injuries.
BSC wins at home don't count. Got it.

Montana has never lost to SDSU; 8-0
Montana has never lost to UNI; 7-0

There was a segment on GFP last week, I believe, on the most obnoxious fan bases in CFB. The Bizon took home the hardware. One of the guys recounted how there was some crazy blog or something saying UNDSU would be only 2 point underdogs in Tuscaloosa, so the T-Buff fans were saying they would beat The Tide on a neutral field. True story, and it had me howling. This adds a bit of context to this thread.

 

[kemajic]

2008 JMU team was nowhere near the 2019 JMU team.

Unlike 2019, the 2008 JMU team was undefeated, unanimous #1 and did not have to go to OT to beat a Stoney Brook.

Just stop ....4 wins against playoff teams. You can try to spin the shit you just threw out any way.

Montana State played the worst team in the MVFC and won 23-14

NDSU 57- Western Illinois 21
SDSU 52- Western Illinois 24
UNI 38- Western Illinois 7

You can’t claim to be the premier conference and not have a single team who is going to legitimately compete for the nation championship.

If any Big Sky team plays JMU or NDSU right now, it is a 20 point win.

Sorry, but it has been many many years since your conference put out a team capable of winning it all and until that happens, I will call BS on the premier conference crap.

Weber State played UNI at home.
Montana played USD who was trash this year

USD was such trash that they beat SDSU, oh, but for the injuries.

Montana has never lost to SDSU; 8-0
Montana has never lost to UNI; 7-0

Yes USD was trash. SDSU is a good football team who is missing an all American caliber QB, the best running back in the FCS and their second best running back. They, for the vast majority of the season, were clearly the third best team in the FCS.

They are clearly not the same team post injuries as the one who took #9 FBS Minnesota to the wire and #1 FCS NDSU to the wire.

 

[cmtgrizzly]

Alumni, are you a Montanan who went to NDSU for school or from somewhere else and moves here for work for some other reason?

 

[rocklobster]

Sorry, I'm confused. SDSU has traditionally beaten up on the Griz, but there is no record of it? When has SDSU ever beaten the Griz? What the holy hell are you talking about. The Griz play in the Big Sky and so yeah, I guess I can say that when healthy or sick or tired or asleep, at least one Big Sky team can beat SDSU. Are you telling me you think the Griz are hands down the best team in the Big Sky? If not then presumably MSU or WSC or Sac St would also beat them. Do you even have cable? I know you claim to live in Missoula and given Fargo, nobody blames you but wow.

Tradition tells me that in the playoffs, the Big Sky has really underperformed.

You didn’t answer my question. How many Big Sky teams have played in the championship game this decade? How many championships does the Big Sky lay claim to this decade? How many teams have played in the semi finals this decade?

Hey, dummy. The topic is the MV this year. How many MV seeded teams beat Big Sky seeded teams this year? How many MV teams lost to seeded Big Sky teams this year?

Which MV team was afraid to play an FBS team this year?

Sagarin rankings still have MVFC as the highest rated FCS conference.

Afraid? Definitely not NDSU. FBS teams will not schedule them. Hell, they have tried to schedule multiple games against SEC opponents and they have been shot down.

They have had to now go to the PAC 12 for future games.

Look, you hot-dish eating, snicker salad munching, Canadian wanna-be, there's still a tournament to be played. You were very, very close to losing to Cal Davis at home (a team that finished 6th in the BSC!) If not for a couple of interceptions in the red zone, late in the 4th quarter, JMU would be the #1 seed.

Yeah. And we had a hobbled QB, lost our #1 WR, our best two TE’s are out or injured....no worries though. We don’t make excuses. Because that’s what injuries are...every time you bring them up you lose what little credibility you had....

 

[clawman]

I would say that the Big Sky is the premier conference this year.
All four teams are seeded...3,4,5, and 6!

All four teams have next to no chance at winning the championship.

MVFC was still the best conference this year. Without the horrible injuries that occurred late in the season, SDSU is ranked 3rd and Illinois State is seeded.

As an Eagle fan and BSC supporter I have to agree. NDSU and SDSU in Frisco would be sweet with the Jackrabbits prevailing!

 

[FlyCastingCat]

UM would be a bad matchup for the T-buffs. Especially with Akem back, the passing attack would be brutal. A confident griz team clicking on offense and playing lights out on defense beats the bizon in Fargo imo.

Grew up East on the prairie. Went to NDSU after high school. Moved to Missoula for work.

Why do you always say We and Our. You don’t play on the team.

UM is a flawed team that were beat soundly, twice, and defense was the reason.

Well fortunately defense is apart of the game. NDSU could win 3-0 and I wouldn’t give a shit. They beat UC Davis and the score is what it is.

The same goes for Montana State barely beating Western Illinois.

All I said was that the Big Sky is not the premier conference. The best the Big Sky has to offer is a 2 TD plus underdog against the best the MVFC and CAA has to offer.
