Now when the Griz have the easy schedule, it's good. You guys are great at putting lipstick on the pig. Problem is, it is still a pig. Talk about dumbass. You guys corner the market on that.
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
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.
