Cats Hang on to Sneak By Davis

Championship caliber teams find ways to win when they face adversity. Cat's have done that three times this season. (UNM, EWU somewhat, and UCD. griz have found ways to lose three games.

Will the griz turn things around and show that they know how to overcome adversity (They will see a lot of this Saturday) and win a game? We shall see!

Please don't tell me that there is anyone on the griz schedule that would beat Washington State or any other top 20 FBS team.
Also you admitted to me that you believe the griz will lose by at least 20 when you asked me to give you 21 in a bet on Cat/Griz. I have that $250K if you want to make that bet straight up. But I know you don't really Believe the griz have a snowballs chance in hell. Right?
Weren't the griz pre season champs this year?

Don’t act like New Mexico hasn’t improved tenfold since Week 0. 70 plus new guys on the roster, completely new staff…..if they replayed that game today the Lobos beat MSU by 10+.

This! The cats were 16 point favorites at NM and they should have lost that game. NM looked like crap. I’d bet they’d beat the cats today.

This is a good post and fairly accurate, although I would modify that and say that one team pretty much dominated for about 55 minutes and the other team dominated for about 5 minutes. As LV stated though, they didn't really dominate for those 5 minutes in terms of like winning the line of scrimmage or anything, but yes credit them for making some damn good plays and taking advantage of some luck bounces at the end.

For 5 minutes? Please. Davis opened up their fairly conservative offense in the 4th Q and found success. Cats barely hung on. Davis ended up with more total offense. This is how the game of football works. 6 minutes. One side doesn’t get to choose which of those 60
minutes it likes.

I notice that my take on the game ticked some people off but they didn't actually respond to anything I pointed out in the game. I think that's telling.

It didn’t tick off anyone. It was just a stupid post and not especially accurate. It’s funny how I start an accurate thread, and that ticks off so many Cat posters.

Ha! Well you go ahead and do you, but if you can't step back and look at a game where one team is winning 30 to 6 with 6 minutes and 30 seconds left in the game, and recovers a clear fumble at the goal line but somehow the refs not only didn't call it but allowed a quick snap so as not to allow a replay... and see it for what it is - have fun with that!

What part of my post was an excuse? Just straight facts.

I think the primary issue is that all season long Griz fans have yelled at the clouds about how terrible UNM is and that beating them wasn't a good win for MSU. Now that UNM beat WSU, they are clearly much better than they were in week 1 (who isn't?) and once again we move the goal line...

Okay. So in the same respect, if PSU didn’t have make those stupid mistakes you could argue they played UM even. Part of being a good team is causing your opponent to make a mistake. UM is good at it, obviously. Davis didn’t just make mistakes, MSU played well enough to cause them to make mistakes.

PR is pretty crafty. I've noticed he'll spout off about how much better the um coaching staff is than the Cats, better OL, better QBs, how the griz will crush the Cats, etc. blah blah blah. Then if any of that proves out and the griz win he'll say how smart he is and how we're just a bunch of idiots (See last year). But then if the griz lose, he'll just say he was only saying all that stuff to irritate Cat fans and that he actually knew the Cats had the better program. Win Win.

Just noticed this. Yes, better UM coaches. No, not better QB's, at least in any recent years. On OL, last year, I said better depth with 10 OL. Part of that was to blow smoke, but I stood behind it last year. This year I certainly never said UM OL was better. I do often say things to irritate Cats, and I are good at it, but I own up to it if it wasn't just an irritating comment. I say more positive things about the Cats than any actual Griz poster.

You just make up stuff and lie or misremember most everything. There are a number of posters like that. They cannot back up their comments and arguments, so they attack things that I, and other Griz, never said.

Certain Griz fans didn't badmouth UNM all season long, and certainly not me. However, it was not a great win for the Cats. They barely won the game. Great comeback but not a win over a tough team. Until Cats beat Idaho, UNM was their only win over a decent team.
