Congrats to the Cats, But ...

As PR said the loss isn’t bad - cause the Cats were a better team. What is bad is:

The cats are a better team


The cats are better and the main kids that beat the Griz were from Missoula - again

The coach clips on game day with Voigen saying they are going to to Missoula with the trophy and going to beat the Griz and bring the trophy back to Bozeman- and Hauck telling the team it is just game 12 and another team. On national television. Vigen was right, Hauck was badly wrong

The plane flying over Missoula all day. JFC. How fucking low life

The NEZ having so many Cats fans they chanted ESGGocatsGo


So many kids that didn’t get tickets wandering the tailgates and campus drive all wearing cats gear

The drunk Griz kids in lot U.

A pretty good day, but came up short for the football team. A really bad day for Griz fandom.

Cat made more plays and deserved to win. Griz made too many small mistakes especially in first half. Griz D couldn't stop Cats on last long drive. And UM missed about 5 key tackles, mostly in the middle when we had a tackler in position and he couldn't make the play. Some were easier than others.

And then the pick 6 and blocked FG in a 3 pt loss. Good FG block by Crews. UM's lineman must have inadvertently helped elevate Crews.

Stats ended up fairly even. Cats had 5-11 3d down conversions, and 2-2 on 4th. UM was 7-12 and 1-1. Cats had a few more first downs and few more yards. Plays were almost the same. TOP was 32-28.

Lamson had very good game passing and running, and, again, no picks. Impressive on 2 early picks in the season. 18-20 passing. Long was 27 to I think to a TE. He was sacked 4 times.

I have said all season that he, Davis and Dowler are very good. Lamson hurt us. Davis was 15-106 for 6.1. Dowler had only 3 receptions. Jones was 9-28 for 5.1, and had 4 receptions for 31.

Ah Yat was good except for the pick. 26-32 for 186. Sacked twice. I don't think he ran or scrambled after he hurt his leg. Gillman 15-132 for 8.8 per carry. And 5 receptions. Davis had 10 receptions. Deck had 4. Thought he had a nice game. Cats kept UM from getting long passes too, 28 yards. Cats kept 2 safeties deep most of time.

Taylor, the Cat LB, had 11 tackles andnice game. Eiden and Brott each had 2 tackles. Eiden had a sack. 3 UM DL had a sack.

I'm good with the game and the result. Both teams played well or fairly well, but, as I said, Cats made more plays. And the pick 6 and blocked FG were keys in the game. Cats made those plays and UM didn't. I don't agree on the hold called against 84 on our called back TD. UM could have used that TD. Would have changed the game. Such is life.

Griz on the road for semi-finals, assuming they keep winning. So, tougher road to Nashville, but that's okay. Griz can win those games. Hopefully, UM didn't have any major injuries. I expect Loud back by next game. That will be a big help and lift. A week off will be good.

UM to recovered that fumble by Cat sideline, when UM had 4 tacklers on the runner and the ball squirted past them.

Again, nice game Cats. I'll still take Ah Yat, Gillman, Wortham and Davis over any Cat.

I bet one Cat $100. Don't even remember who. I assume he'll get me know. Message venmo to me. I have money left over from some bets I made last year, on whether Cats would beat every Dakota team they played.

Hoops what’s your pick - griz the 3 or 4 seed? I got em at 3 but what do I know.

Right. Cause the Griz won again for the 4th time in 6… or what? Maybe time to realize what is going in. MSU is winning in all phases except number of dual credit students from MCPS. And setting records for the number of home games for a FCS team. Lets see how that works out tomorrow

II

We scored 28 points on their vaunted D, Eli ran for over 100 yards against said invincible D: they scored 24 on ours, Ebenezer.

Our O scored 28, while theirs scored 24.

The difference in the game was a pic 6 for them and a called back TD on us on a controversial holding call on our TE.

This was their 5th or 6th consecutive game since their bye, while it was our 12th with no bye.

Listening to your whining, bitching and moaning, Ebenezer, someone would think we lost the game 31-3, not 31-28 !!!

Great points Nero. And the Griz … wait for it.. lost. Lost again to the cats. The cats. And the selection committee will hammer the Griz for scheduling 8 (a record fc number) home games. Schedule 8 home games to go far in the playoffs then lose. We have seen this before.

Fiddle Nero, play that fiddle.

If they give us a 5 after a 3 point loss to the 2 seed and no other blemishes, we need to get the hell out of this subdivision.

Just thinking Lehigh is 12-0 (I know strength of schedule but still 12-0 ). and so many have a crush on Tarleton coupled with losing at home to MSU it could set us up for a 5.

Agree on Crews--glad Bobby sent him packing--disagree on on the state of our program--I think we're in great shape !!! Remember, this was their 5th or 6rh consecutive game after their bye. And this was our 12th consecutive game with no bye.

Agree, MSU made two more plays--pic 6 and the blocked FG. But also realize this:

Our O outscored their 0: 28-24 pts.

Our D really outplayed their D by a little-- Our D gives up 24 pts. vs. their D @ 28. We have 4 sacks, they have 2.

The play that cost us the game and won it for them was the Pic 6. As Bobby would say, good on them--Keali'i's only really bad throw all day.

Why is this important ? Go back 16 years or so--maybe Bobby's last year of Tour # 1, 2009: Weber beats us in regular season, and we beat them in the playoffs.

Earlier this week, Bobby said there was a good chance for a Brawl II in the semi's. I agree and even though this one will be in Boz Angeles, if--IF--this game happens, I like our chances !!! ( if there is a 2025 Brawl II, look for our D to spy Lamson a little better.)

Finally as we head into the playoffs, we finally will get a first-round bye to rest up and heal up a little before our first playoffs game on Friday or Saturday, Dec. 5th or 6th.

MSU is good--they ain't invincible. !!!

Go GRIZ !!!

Terrific post. And if/when there's a next time, we will likely have Loud, who will make a huge difference, Wortham will have a bigger game, and we will have a better plan to contain Lamson's running. And hopefully we will make 5 more tackles when we are in position to make a tackle to stop a bigger play. I can't think of anything major that the Cats will do to stop us. I suppose there may be some.

The QB hurt us. Davis was good. Their other back made a few plays but wasn't big. Dowler didn't hurt us. Because of the pick, their QB had better game. Gillman was definitely the best back on the field. Davis had a huge game. As I said, Wortham will be better next time. The 2 Cat DL had 2 tackles a piece and 1 sack between them. 41 is overrated. I think he has 15 tackles for the season. Their other DL must be pretty good because they did a decent or good job with 4 down lineman/rushers. Gillman ran right around 41 on the edge on his long run.

I hate holding calls not called at the point of attack, which make the play. I hate other penalties called off the ball when they are marginal or have no impact on the play. Were there any PI calls?

I still owe you a c- note from last year that you wouldn't collect, after we lost in Frisco. You're a gentleman and a scholar. 😁

The selection committee won't hammer the Griz for anything. They will reward them for their season and for the 3 pt loss to the Cats, with a pick 6 in the mix. The selection committee doesn't look at the number of home games. What a stupid comment.
