Deja Vu

[Btown]

Somebody is butt hurt. Girl left you at the altar? Maybe it was your boyfriend. Don’t know, but it’s ok little buddy. Lots of season left.

All of the above. SDSU still wins.

You are the DEI poster child for Egriz. We will have to disagree on the outcome. Go Griz

In case you didn't know, it's the playoffs. Doesn't really matter what happened in week 1 or 2 does it? Afterall, UND had you beat.

Yes they did. Except at the end of the 4th qtr.
And YSU had Yale beat. Except at the end of the 4th qtr.
I do expect this to be a battle for 4qtrs. But this is what I want to watch. A chance to see what this team can do at their best.
At home in WaGriz.
I will be back in town at my usual spot at the top of the NEZ.
I'm thinking that that is all that is needed to secure the W.

What’s a matter. You nervous? Griz won’t lose to SDSU. They aren’t like the Cats. They win against the MVFC at home. They just do.

Except we lost to the scats at home…..

UND had you beat.

Last time I checked Montana won that game.

Can’t win them all, but Griz are still alive. I don’t quit rooting for the Griz because they lose 1 game. High probability they meet the Cats again this year. I have faith in the Griz.

And we actually got a sort of bye week, after 12 straight weeks of playing. You don't think the players needed that? The Griz will be ready.

We needed a rest very bad. I agree

Last time I checked Montana

Last time I checked Montana won that game.

BTown is illiterate. Don’t worry about arguing with them.

How many points do you get for almost won?

I would feel better about that if the Griz played well coming out of bye weeks.

When Mason went down, their D gave up 38, 24,24,35, and 34. This is the same D. I think Montana can jump on them.

It’s funny how jaded and leery we’ve all become. Man, the 2010s and pandemic really did a number on the fanbase, myself included. More and more of the fanbase is not confident at all against decent teams. I watch SDSU and I see the neighbors all over again. Or Eastern passing for 410 again. I’ll bet Mason doesn’t fumble the spike…

Why do you pretend to be a GRIZ fan? I know it's humiliating to admit to being a bub, but is it really worth this? Hell, I'm embarrassed for you.

Doesn’t matter. If we can’t beat SDSU at home we sure as fuck weren’t beating NDSU in Nashville.

Holy hell dude. I’m just voicing anxiety. Give me a break. I know I don’t have the pedigree of the old folks, but I ain’t no flea bitten feline. I hate losing and I’m unconvinced after the kitten game. If that makes me a cat fan in your eyes, then you’re blind as a bat.

Also, every time I voice confidence in a Griz win, we lose. It’s kind of become a superstition at this point.

A huge Brawl of the Wild game sets up the winner with the #2 seed and an outright Big Sky championship, while the loser still gets a seed, but is disappointed.

Defending champion Dakota school cruises to an undefeated record, while their rival struggles all season, having to play in the first round.

The #2 Montana team plays an east coast team that won on a huge comeback in the first round, while the other plays the lower Dakota school that's finally hitting its stride at home after cruising over an overmatched team at home.

Sounds like I'm describing this year, but this is exactly what happened in 2023, with the schools switched.

Then, #2 Montana plays Delaware who came back after being down 28-7 against Lafayette. This time #2 MSU plays Yale who overcame a 42-14 deficit.

Then, defending champ SDSU cruised, while struggling NDSU got sent to Bozeman in the 2nd round after crushing Drake. Now, NDSU is cruising, while struggling SDSU gets sent to Missoula in the 2nd round after crushing UNH.

Sure hope for our sake the script doesn't go the same and we start to diverge, but thought it was really crazy how similar things have turned out.

To add to this, NDSU's next game after beating Montana State was in Vermillion. If SDSU & USD win this weekend SDSU's next game will be in Vermillion.

While I would've preferred to be in the Tarleton/Lehigh part of the bracket, I'm super excited for this matchup and can't wait for it. This game is a semifinal type matchup.

Unsettling omens....its not time for Dan Haggerty's "Gentle Ben" to make an appearance.

Omens and superstitions are for the timid and weak. The pride and tradition of the Montana Grizzlies shall not be entrusted to the timid or the weak!
