Fun fact, that was the second-largest margin of victory for the cats in the ENTIRE 120 game history of the "rivalry". No wonder you guys like to trot it out so much. :lol:
 
Damn, this record sh*t gets old. I don't see any Butte High School kids coming in here talking smack about their record against the Griz. Or for that matter, the school in Moscow in the state to Montana's west eight miles from Pullman.

Hey, you are welcome to tell your cat brethren to take their weakass smack somewhere else. We’d love it if we didn’t repeatedly have to remind little brother about his proper place. Becomes exhausting after awhile.
 
Some familiar faces at Oregon State.

Jonathan Smith
Title:Head Coach

Jonathan Smith continued Oregon State’s turnaround in 2021, and enters the 2022 season for his fifth season as the head coach of his alma mater.
On the field improvement is clearly measurable, but it’s as much off the field success that has led to the rise of the Beavers’ fortunes. OSU football student-athletes have been selected to the Pac-12 Academic team 123 times over Smith’s first four seasons in Corvallis, a mark that ranks second in the Pac-12. The trend continues upward for academic success with the team boasting a cumulative GPA nearing 3.25, including an OSU record 3.41 for the 2020 Spring Term.
A near unanimous selection to finish in last place in the Pac-12 Conference in 2019, Smith led the Beavers to a near bowl game berth before ending the campaign tied for second place in the Pac-12 North. OSU improved statistically in nearly every possible category on the field, won three road league games for the first time since 2013, and tied for the best winning percentage improvement in the Conference.The 2019 season also included a number of individual honors, led by junior linebacker Hamilcar Rashed Jr., earning All-America by every major college football organization and fellow linebacker Omar Speights being highlighted with Freshman All-America accolades.

Smith’s early success led the OSU administration to extend his contract through 2027 season.
By all accounts, Coach Smith’s immediate goals upon his return to OSU prior to the 2018 season in the football leadership position of creating a culture, laying a foundation, and emphasizing recruiting for future success has been widely successful.
Smith was officially introduced as the Beavers’ head coach November 29, 2017. He inherited a program in need of stability, strong leadership, and with a vision of success on and off the field.
In his first season, the team was among the most productive in the Pac-12 for several offensive categories, won on the road for the first time since 2014, and featured true freshman Jefferson, who set school records for rushing on his way to All-American and Pac-12 Offensive Freshman Player of the Year accolades. In addition, receiver Timmy Hernandez secured the program’s first Academic All-America honor since 1999.

When Barnes officially introduced Smith, the first OSU graduate to ever lead the football program, he highlighted the former Beaver quarterback’s legacy in Corvallis. “He has a unique perspective on what it means to be a part of Beaver Nation and to be successful for our student-athletes on and off the field,” Barnes said.
The 43-year-old Smith earned his first full-time coaching position at Idaho in 2004, where he served as the quarterbacks coach through 2009. In his final season with the Vandals, the team ranked ninth in the NCAA for total offense (451.4 yards per game); 12th in the nation for passing offense (286.7 yards per game); and 20th in scoring (32.7 points per game). From 2010-11, he was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) powerhouse Montana, leading the Grizzlies to the NCAA Division I semifinals in 2011. While Smith was at Montana, the Grizzlies’ offense ranked in the top 20 nationally in multiple categories.
Smith joined Boise State for the 2012 and 2013 seasons as the Broncos’ quarterbacks coach. He helped guide the team to the 2012 Mountain West Conference co-championship and a victory over the Washington Huskies in the Las Vegas Bowl.
A three-year starting quarterback at Glendora (Calif.) High, Smith graduated from high school in 1997 and earned his bachelor’s degree in liberal studies from Oregon State in December, 2001. He and his wife, Candice, have three children, Robert (13 years old), Bella (11) and Charles (7).

Your screen name makes me think you have a foot in both worlds but you seem very negative about the Griz and your time in Missoula.

Wrong on many levels. Google Sam Jankovich, if you will. Where did he play football? Where did he coach? Who was his quarterback? I can't stand keyboard warriors almost as much as I disdain those who put downer cows in America's food chain and caused a serious issue with Mad Cow, that each and every operative on 9/11/2001 entered the country from there and I'll never forgive what they did to the 101st in Gander. Stay north of the 49th please.

I posted this in another thread but I'll just add to it here. My opinion on the cats then and now: The two best teams the cats played last year (NDSU and Griz) absolutely shut them down. The cats are trying to get out of this game healthy and are a few injuries away from disaster. They have no QB, RB, or O-line depth and are mediocre at WR despite them saying how "deep" they are. They also rely on a small qb running up the middle into crowded piles throughout the game with no throwing threat to back him up. Luckily they have an excellent conference path and at this point mostly avoid the top tier of the conference. Sorry not sold on them being a top 5 team this year. Maybe top ten, but that is testament to how watered down the FCS has gotten. Their biggest win last year was Eastern Washington. JMU would have killed them. SHSU was a joke at no. 1 and has scored exactly 3 points so far this season. They are riding their windfall. They are booking their tickets to Frisco. The Griz are licking their chops to start the veagen 0-2 and resume the trail of tears, but that will have to wait. Their offense will have to get gimmicky when they play good defenses. They are reliant on Tommy for them to have any success this year and their defense is not as good as last year. Hopefully they shock Oregon State like we did to Washington and shut me up but I would be the one shocked.

You posted this gibberish TWICE? lol. Plenty of silly stuff in here, I'll point out one of the most blatant. I'd say beating SDSU (Who beat NDSU by 10, crushed Colorado State, etc) might have been a better win than EWU. :clap:

Best scoring defense in the Big Sky last year, look it up. Facts are facts.

MSU didn't have the best defense based on yardage. MSU was 5th best in scoring offense. Games against teams like Drake and San Diego helped the stats agains scoring.

I wasn't being a key board warrior, I have always wondered about your screen name as I assume you attended both universities.

I didn’t think there was ever a question.


Now admittedly, at least 2/3 of his posts are completely nonsensical gibberish, so I can understand someone may be initially confused.
