Five of the first six teams we played were nationally ranked as opposed to the the Griz playing five fcs teams with a combined record of 5 wins and 23 losses.

Are you using North Dakota as a high quality ranked team win for the kitties and then in the next breath, calling them a terrible cupcake win for the Griz?
They were ranked when the Cats played them. I did not say they were high quality.

Either way, it blows your whole lame excuse right into the ShitPond

You guys the Cats dont judge themselves on wins they judge their season based on Good Losses

They are consistently in the top 5 in Good Losses. Nobody losses better than the Cats......

You should hear their pregame "Lose a close one for the Gipper" speech Coach Chode gives before each game.

The Cats would be 2-4 regardless of who they played...theyre just not a top team right now..understandably so..new coach young qb....but dont spin it.

Also the Griz are beating the teams theyre supposed to and actually had EWU against the ropes and were winning that one. If the Griz hold off EWU were talking about how the Griz are a top 10 team right now....

Just cuz youre a cat fan doesnt mean you always have to be a C-word. Go back to Bobcatnation were everyone is delighted and still optimistic to make a playoff run. Freaking asshats
Like I mentioned before, anyone close to Cat football did not expect a playoff run this year. We are playing a lot of RS and true freshman. It is a very young team.

Five of the first six teams we played were nationally ranked as opposed to the the Griz playing five fcs teams with a combined record of 5 wins and 23 losses. The two common opponents, ND and EWU, the Cats played them on the road and played stronger against them than the Griz. I think both the Cats and the Griz are mediocre teams so far at best. I don't see much difference. If you traded the schedules the records would probably be exactly opposite. The Griz in reality are nowhere close to a top ten team right now. Yes, they are improving but they really struggled against the four FCS teams they played with losing records. You were all saying on here how Stitt and Semore should be fired. If you guys run the table, then you are a top ten team. Hats off to the Griz if they do that. Good luck!

Big Sky, what you are saying is completely wrong and just plain stupid. UM didn't struggle against any FCS team that they played. They kicked the asses of 3 of the teams. They out played EWU in the first half (and should have been up much more), and then got beat in the second half by a very good EWU team that had a great second half with great play out of their terrific qb. UM could have won that game, and everyone who followed the game and understands the game, knows that UM let one slip away. UM had to work against PSU and ISU, was never behind PSU, was down to ISU in first half, but then caught them and started pulling away. UND wasn't even a contest. I think UND had 143 yards and 5 first downs by late in the third quarter when UM subbed on its D. Seven 3 and outs, 1 interception, and 1 fumble by UND in his first 10 positions.

Your statement ranks right up there with your guarantee that Vernon Adams would never play for Oregon and would come back to EWU.

Those rose colored glasses must cloud your memory. If I am wrong and stupid than most of your fan base is wrong and stupid too. Go back and look at the comments on here after those those FCS games. The fans were all commenting on how bad the Griz were against these lousy teams. Everyone wanted Stitt gone and Semore fired too. There was even threads about who should be the next coach. And yes, I agree EW is a really good team and Gubrud picked you guys apart in the second half. He is a tough guy to defend. I was surprised we played them good in the second half and had a chance to win that game. ISU played well against you guys. I also agree playing in that excuse for football venue is tough. I expect they will give the Cats a tough game as well. For three qtrs of that game, your fan base was pulling their hair out. PSU was a good game for the Griz. ND both the Cats and Griz handled them easily but they are a decimated team. Hard to gauge anything with them.

And you continue to make false statements about what I said about Vernon Adams. I stated that a Coach that was at the pre- season Big Sky Conference meeting they hold every year made that statement. He was at the meeting and got that from an EWU coach. I merely passed it along. Yes he was incorrect.

If the Griz did what they needed to do against EWU in the 2nd half were a top 10 team right now. 5-1 and only loss to Washington.

I hear what you are saying, but my view is that a team that loses a bunch of games by a smaller margin is better than a team that loses a bunch of games by a larger margin or gets blown out. And, that team losing by a smaller margin, or letting winnable games get away from them--while not a good team--is capable of beating good teams. That was my view last year when the Cats beat the Griz. Besides the Cats being dangerous as a rival, they were also dangerous as a team that had come pretty close in some games: Idaho, UND, SS (let that one get away from them).

That is a very good point. Hadn't thought of that.

On the season at this point, the 3 wins, including 2 road wins, are very good and positive, almost anyway you look at them. 3 conference wins is always good and not easy, especially with 2 being on the road. However, there is the argument that those 3 teams are not that good. I get that, but I think ISU is pretty good, and probably PSU too. I am hopeful, but I can't tell how good the Griz are, and whether they have a good chance of beating Weber on that road, NAU at home, and Cats on the road. Those appear to be tough games. So, it's one game at a time, and we shall see. Griz seem to be pretty good in the injury department, especially on the offensive side and if Calhoun is fine.

Ya Im basically just week to week on them right now. Tho i will say I am beginning to start to believe in this team.

Our game against Weber I think will tell us how we should view this team for the rest of the year,.

This may sound a little whack-a-doo, but after the last Fall scrimmage I was thinking, man there is a bunch of individual talent on this team - and they seem to like each other. It felt like there just needed to be something to harness everything and bring it together. I think it could have been the Phillips injury - I don't think I've ever seen everyone on the sideline go out to an injured player as he was leaving the field.

Perhaps.

My view is that the Griz would have likely beaten EWU if Phillips had been healthy.

Well as long as the Griz are a playoff team..they will chalk it up to a Good Loss and good for program building and experience....

which apparently they know how to do and we do not because were impatient.
 
Like I mentioned before, anyone close to Cat football did not expect a playoff in a year
that ends in a odd or even number. :thumb:

Great. If we for some reason end up making the playoffs and the Cants lose a close one to us at home we are never gonna hear the end of it. Let the preseason good loss champions predictions begin.

Oh boy. You are absolutely correct. Pre season champs again all based on the close losses that, “should have been a win”. Kind of like wishing the shit pond would become the equivalent of the champions center.
