Huh.
I think we need to be looking at the positives here. Still plenty of hunting season left and no need to waste any more weekends watching a peewee football offense, and a defense that can’t stop a quality QB.
Maybe I’m just a glass half full guy ...

The melt down comes when you lose to another fcs school. Both the Griz and cats message boards melt down when they do.
I disagree. I think the people who melt down are the twits, morons and folks that attach their self-worth to the team. People with no filters and no balance in their lives. The overly emotional and the Gladys Kravitz's of this board. People that know football and know you could lose any Saturday are pretty sanguine. I suspect your board is much the same. And since you seem to thrive on trolling over here, we can pretty much figure out which categories you fall into.
Great perspective Clark. I would only add that I have beem a Griz fan for many decades. It was my father's team and I grew up rooting for UM--thru good times and bad. I carry paper from the school and have supported the University since I left it. I couldn't give two shits about the sports teams of where I got my post grad degree. I would root for UM teams if they didn't win a single game all year. My self worth isn't tied to UM sports but i will always support them. Where the f*** else am I going to go?
P.S. Lenny's mom is an embarrassment to all of college sports fandom.
This explains nothing. Where this needed to go was your posting in Moscow & the mail order business you’ve so successfully run since the accident. How this didn’t carryover to the potato & peach business since then is a bigger mystery.
I carry your water & the only thing I liked about grad school was the Elvira look-a-like dean of students. I retired early because it sounded good & my self-worth is caught up in a message board. Well... some of that was true. Bye week can’t be over soon enough.

Have you ever met someone who was part of a cult?
Not like, “Hey, praise X, I go to church on Sundays.” But, “Hey, this guy I know really has it figured out. You should come and see for yourself. He’s a real leader who wishes the best for all of us for a low monthly fee, for cleansing.”
That’s how I imagine the MSU Booster Club would work.
All of the parallels are there.

Very different. We aren’t accustomed to it by decades of futility.

However I saw this gem on AGS:
Few things for those who didn't watch the Sac State @ MSU game. First, I congratulate Sac State. They were the better team on this day. However, they won by 13 not 20. One the game's first possession, MSU was driving, but Rovig threw a pick after being hit during release. Credit goes to Sac State for causing the TO, but a block being held for a half second more likely alters the outcome dramatically. More importantly, the refs hosed MSU early in the 4th down 34-14, calling back a TD due to a substitution infraction (12th guy was sprinting to the sideline during the snap) that should have been a free play. The play ran and resulted in a 7 yard TD pass. Then the refs conferred and decided it was a dead ball foul and gave us half the distance to the goal. We then ran it 4 straight times into the teeth of their stout run defense (bad coaching, IMO). Not only would a 34-21 game with almost an entire quarter been a vastly different game, but getting a TD wiped out and then stuffed 4 times from inside the 5 was hugely demoralizing.
One of the positive takeaways from the game is that we seem to be developing (albeit incrementally) into a bit more rounded offense. We actually outgained Sac State 403 to 378, ran for nearly 50% more than they had previously been allowing AND Tucker Rovig finished 16/29 for 262 yards with 1 TD and 1 INT (should have been 17/30 for 269 with 2 TD and 1 INT, but it is what it is). I am in no way diminishing Sac State's win. They are a tough, tough team and not one I'd look forward to playing. But MSU was a couple plays, a bad call and lucky bounce or 2 from this being a much tighter game than just looking at a box score would indicate.
that is some crazy shit.
becoming a well rounded offense?
if a block was held a second longer they would not have picked it off
dude you lost it happens let it go!

How many close games are not decided by a couple plays?

:lol: :lol: No shit. We were three fumbles away from being 9-2 and seeded into the second round last year.

I wondered that as well, why the F would you play him for 1 play there? I guess they consider him in for the year.
