Bobby's Press Release

[MissoulaMarinerFan]

Am I making this up, but did he get the job after one guy accepted, did the press conference with a scowling wife and then backed out?

No, that was the AD hire who took the job for about 20 hours and had the press conference in the garage thing with all of his family looking like they wanted a tornado to take them anywhere but there. He quit the next day, I think, and then they brought on Leon Costello who approved a raise for Threepeat with charges pending.

Yeahhhh - they were ready to peace out right from the jump. Image credit to Billigns Gazette.

Am I missing something, what I know as double-repping is a weightlifting method? And what is being said is that it’s the reason they have such depth. Strength is a great thing, no doubt. You can build that, for guys who know how to play. Even on the lines, there’s a hell of a lot more to being able to play than brute strength.

And Bozeman sure as hell doesn’t overpower anyone. They get to a spot quickly and only have to hold it long enough to allow the plus one back to get by. We’ll see how well they do when the QB isn’t as big a part of the run game. Which has to occur if coach sixx is really playing chess.

Double repping, as he is using it, is when you have two groups doing drills on different ends of the field. All "double repping" is doing is utilizing more space to get more kids involved in drills and receiving coaching, and minimizing the people who are standing around watching. It is already stuff that we are doing, and have been for plenty of time if anyone has gone to practices. "Double repping" is not magically innovative, and I don't think it is rare for teams to do it.

Cats fans are just so ignorant about football that they think their coaches are really on the cutting edge. Its because they were so bad for so long, and their fans just started really paying attention and engaging a few years ago as Choate was turning the program around. Now suddenly they are acting like this. "I bet you don't even double rep, bro!"

Sheesh...I played for the winningest coach in MT high school history. Under his leadership we did this in Junior High prepping for HS.

But, I'm sure it is uncommon in D1 football...cat trolls are insufferable.

Big friggin deal.

Psh, but I bet no other schools have ever had their QB run the ball! That's Bobcat innovation, baby! They think of things first, last.

What are you talking about?

Hauck's interviews are better than Vigen's.

Not sure what you mean by double repping. Unless it's the practice technique of having various groups going at the same time. The Griz do that.

The Griz are 10 deep on o-line. Griz o-line is better than the Cats'. 5 deep at running back. Have about 10 linebackers. Have 4 corners and multiple safeties. Have 3 TE's. Have lots of receivers, and certainly 6. Only a bit slim at d-line right now due to do 2 injuries. The Griz will beat the Cats this season. Do the Cats have any depth, other than 2 qb's and 2 TE's?

I know you really want to believe the griz are as good or better than the Cats at all position groups but that's just not reality. As I've stated numerous times, I'm here trying to help you guys. I know how painful it can be to expect great things from your team only to watch them get crushed in the meaningful games again. The Cats are just at a different talent and depth level from the griz right now. That will all become clear as the season plays out. I chuckle at all the griz fans bragging about how good and deep you are at OL and RB. Did you watch the Cat\Griz game last year and how outmatched the griz were in all areas? Well unfortunately for griz nation, the Cats are going to be better at literally every position group, especially OL, RB, and QB. Last season MSU trotted out a bunch of brand new, unproven, undersized, Sophomore and Freshmen starters on the OL, and due to season ending injuries had to start the fifth string running back (Elijah Elliot) by the 2nd game of the season. They still led the nation in rushing. Finally got all the RBs back and healthy, and are now inserting Wisconsin transfer Julius Davis into the mix. Last year's full time starter Elliot is 't even on the two deep because of how good and deep the RB room is. Some of last year's starter studs and all conference picks on the OL have been passed up (barely) by better players. So if you want to talk about depth, the Bobcat OL is likely the best and deepest it's ever been, 11 or 12 players that are legit proven D1 starters, and with all conference caliber players riding the pine. Couple all that with a legitimate new and improved passing attack, and I just don't know how teams are going to be able to stop it.

Make believe is fun

Cats fans starting posts about Hauck and how he hurts their feelers and how his press CONFERENCE triggers them….all is right in the world.

Nah, not triggered. Just amused! Compare Bobby and Vigen’s interviews. Night and day. Vigen is playing chess and Bobby playin checkers. That will become painfully evident again in November for griz nation. I can’t believe the griz aren’t double repping yet. It has made a huge difference in the Cat program, the quality depth is insane. Bobby will probably switch to double repping next year, if not too stubborn. Cue the funnies about dui’s and doubles…..

You came out as pro anal penetration of minors as long as it's over their clothes. I'm thinking, there are probably very few subjects you should post on, or very few towns you should show your face in.

Can you imagine ANY situation in your life where you would say it is more okay if the unwanted penetration was somehow better because it was through your underwear rather than around it? Imagine yourself as a teenager in that situation...

Personally, I can't see myself ever making that distinction... but apparently Bobcats do, so that is cool.

I mean, if it is all in fun and normal, then of course you would cover their mouth so they can't scream for help, right? #catswillbecats

Griz are better at multiple position groups. For example, o-line, running back, receiver, linebacker, safety, probably corner. Maybe more.

Griz aren't going to get crushed in meaningful games, but Cats will. See SDSU and UM games, for example.

I'm talking about this season, not last season. You are living in the past.

I call BS on the Cats going to be better in those areas. Running back, what a joke.

I don't believe MSU led the nation in rushing. Report back to us.

Again, Griz o-line is better and deeper than the Cats'. You aren't paying attention to the Griz. You are just spouting your normal nonsense.

I heard the passing attack was struggling. Your qb's can't throw the ball, for one.

The Griz will beat the Cats this year.

LOL :thumb: Ok, you keep thinking all that and we'll see how things shake out. Cats will absolutely be better at RB. Finally healthy and don't have to start a fifth stringer. Lane Sumner was tearing it up in the first game last season, then got injured, out for season. Jarod White came in, got injured, out for the season. Ifanse and Williams were injured earlier, so 5th string Elliot came in and tore it up. He's back.... but 3rd or 4th in depth chart behind Sumner, Wisconsin transfer Davis, and White is back and might be ahead of Elliot. Oh then we have White behind all of them... and a couple true Freshmen that flashed. This is in an offense with an upgraded OL (Upgraded from a line that was already one of the best in the country). Oh, QBs, blocking TE's and WRs, FB, all improved too. Cats ended up averaging 311 yard rushing per game. I think that was tops in the country, unless a pure option team or something was higher than that. Also, whoever told you the MSU passing attack was struggling, didn't know what they were talking about. Mellott, Chambers, and Reed have all taken a step forward. Defense is improved all around as well. Anyway, get ready to sit back and watch the show!!!

i think what you are trying to say here is that the griz pretty much have a football team?

Ifanse was back at the end of the year. He was one of the 2 best in the conference. The Cats are not better at rb. My info on the Cat passing game comes from several large and longtime MSU boosters. I have much better MSU sources than you do. The Cats don't have great receivers. What great receivers want to play for a running team?We will see if the MSU qb's and offense can sustain the very good running attack. I think defenses will catch up to stopping it. It wasn't good in every game, although was very good in most games.

Is defense and ST part of football, or is that not true at MSU?

MSU was 2d in rushing last season.

Defenses will adjust to the Cats offense this year, which is probably why they are desperate for some kind of passing game. Cant keep rushing the ball every game - every year. Best analogy I can think of, is when a MLB pitcher has to go through a lineup for the 3rd time, many struggle. That combined with how poorly Cats traditionally struggle on the road does not set this year up to be great. No doubt they will be good, but unless they can add to their offensive game plan, it will be a struggle more this year, as defenses wise up.I expect to see them lose 3+ games this year.

Did you watch the Cats? Changing your mind at all? Still think the Cats aren”t really, really good and deep at RB, OL, and QB? Still think they don’t have a good passing game? It is already good and will only get better when we get our best receivers in there.

 

[EverettGriz]

Fuck no I didn't watch the bubs. Why the hell would I?

Yes they have a good run game. No, they can't throw it worth shit. Absolutely no idea on their depth, and care even less.

 

[poorgriz]

fudge no I didn't watch the bubs. Why the hell would I?

Yes they have a good run game. No, they can't throw it worth poop. Absolutely no idea on their depth, and care even less.

My view hasn’t changed. Wouldn’t want those 3 groups of yours. 22 has some potential. The QB’s are good but don’t fit our offense. Same with o-line.

[poorgriz]

Double repping during practice happens during spring ball and fall camp. Few teams in the country are able to do it. You basically have a good on good team period going at the same time you have a young vs young group going. Not many teams can do this because of lack of o-lineman bodies. In the 90s I was a GA in the ACC. We couldn’t double rep my 2nd year there because we had too many guys get hurt. Other than that I have only been apart of 3 staffs over 25 ish years where we could make it happen.

Sort of controversial whether it’s beneficial or not. If you can do it, young o-lineman are likely taking 20+ reps without a break.

Thanks for clarifying. Now I know the post I responded to was mainly BS. Yeah... I know I should have known that before I said it.

Yes, Vigen implemented double-repping (I can only assume it came from NDSU but I don't know that) when he came to MSU. It's worked out great and is paying huge dividends. If you're paying attention, obviously the cats have crazy good depth everywhere. After the shutout at Weber, Vigen said we put the backups in 4th quarter and were still able to hold them scoreless.
