Good Luck, Kittens

[Grizzlies1982]

The main thing that struck me was how suspect MSU's offense was. The Irish Lad played another great game. Yet Kirk seemed to be hurt early on and their ground game was rarely effective. McGhee's ability to keep Stony Brook's defense off balance kept the cats in it. He, and their D, deserved the game ball.

The cat's defense had few lapses containing two very good backs. Though last year vs Sam Houston they just looked silly trying to contain Flanders and company. Reminded me of when we played Geo. So. back in 1989 (automatic 20 yard gains). I don't expect the same this time, but the coach better have learned.

So was SHSU just that much better at game planning than Stony Brook, or is the MSU defense a better disciplined unit this year? It should be an interesting game. Though the cat offense has to get cooking. If Sam Houston controls the clock it could be a repeat of last year disaster.

I know it is not the players fault but it makes it hard to root for a team when you walk into a bar and their fans do their endearing little chant .... F%*# the Griz and they are not even playing them. :lol: :lol:

I was in Bozo after a Cat Homecoming win playing Portland State a couple years ago. The FTG started in the bar. I am standing next to Cat Great John Taylor. Even he said that it was stupid, they played Portland State....

1. yes Kirk was injured, we will find out how bad tomorrow, but it doesn't sound good, we ran the ball well when needed in the 4th quarter, just like in our previous game.
2. SBU has the #6 rated defense in the FCS
3. MSU defense is a lot better than last year, and we used new schemes against SBU to hold one the best rushing offenses to 123 yards on the ground, we also held their passing game below their average

Congrats to the Cats. Despite a bunch of dick Cat fans like yourself, I still like the MSU players and team. Also, congrats for winning the prior game against the Griz. However, I have to tell you that: The UM rushing game is better than the Cats rushing game. Nguyen is a better back than Kirk. Too bad Kirk got hurt; I always root for the local guys. You are lucky that Nguyen broke his thumb in the 3rd quarter, or he would have continued to run past your team. In Griz-Cat, Nguyen averaged 8.6 in 13 carries; Kirk 2.5 in 22 carries. Also, the UM rush defense is better than the Cats rush defense. Your qb was the difference in the Griz game, and from the little I saw of your playoff game, was also a big factor in your win.

Again, congrats. I don't expect MSU to last much longer in the playoffs, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Cat d-line is good, but I would take UM's d-line over yours, and UM's linebacker's are much better than yours.

:lol: :lol: You are such a dip wad, just looking for attention, I will give you that UM rushing game was better that MSU is but it isnt because Nguyen was so good, it was because of your OL.

as far as rush D statistically you finished the regular season marginally better, but MSU didn't play the patsy's like ISU and WSU that um did so the reality is that MSU's run D is better than um's was

 

[George Ferguson]

I thought Cats2506 chant that he invented in 1976 or 1977, I can't remember what year he said he started it at old Reno H. Sales Stadium was the worst tradition the Cats' have as they still chant it at every single home game and in bars when Cat fans are watching MSU road games. However, I had NO idea that a group of Cats' fans burned a stuffed teddy bear at EVER SINGLE Bobcat home game until I read that on BN earlier this week. For SOME Bobcat fans, it appears the Griz Two-Bye-Four on their shoulder will just never go away.

Having said that, I thought MSU's crowd was great last night, and they did well to create a great home-field atmosphere in the playoffs, and I'm sure Friday night will be rocking in Bozeman. Maybe now that MSU fans are getting a taste of the FCS playoffs in the modern era, they'll stop with one of their more idiotic criticisms of UM football which was "The Griz have only been successful all these years because they got so many playoff games at home." If you really feel that way, then why in the hell is everybody in Bozeman bragging about HOME PLAYOFF GAMES and how much they matter?????

Anyway, I think the Cats SHOULD beat Sam Houston State Friday night. But they have to find a way to put TD's up. Rory Perez can' single-handidly carry MSU to Frisco. It's just not going to happen. MSU's defense will do its part. No way Sammy scores more than 21 points. But if they get to 21, and MSU's offense continues to fail to finish drives, then it's lights out in Bozeman.

Hey asshunter, not all GRIZ fans are trashing or rooting against the Cats. I want them to go as far as they can. Ass fans from other fan bases sure makes it hard to not root against their team. I always root against the CAA though.

 

[George Ferguson]

MSUhunter, tell me you don't see the stupidity in the Eat-S--t Griz chant when the Cats are playing Chadron State or Stony Brook. I'm serious. Who exactly are you chanting it at?? No Montana fans are even there to hear it. No Griz players are there to be "rattled" by it. Same goes for the teddy bear thing. I have no problems with any of that on the third Saturday in November, but it just seems really strange and it seems like an obsession more than a tradition.

I agree that UM's o-line was considerably better than MSU's, but Nguyen is also a better back than Kirk.

MSU played Chadron, Drake and SFA, 3 weak running teams, which gained 214 yards total against MSU. Yes, UM played ISU, but MSU played 3 horrible running teams. Get out of here with your dumb comments.

While MSU beat the Griz, and are still in the playoffs, the fact remains that UM's running offense and rushing defense (and d-line and linebackers) are better than MSU's. I told you UM would run on the MSU, and UM would shut down the MSU running game, before the game--and I was correct. Again, too bad Nguyen broke his thumb in the first half, and wasn't able to play much after that.

There is always lots of Griz fans on the egriz site, hence the name. I dont care to look, how many Mt. kids start for you?

 

[Blgs Griz Fan]

To those bobcat fans that object to be called anything Texas, let's sit all those bobcat players from Texas a few games and see how the cats shrivel, wither and die. Face it cats your dependence on Eustis High is legendary. This year has been referred to as the "perfect storm" season by many cats. First of all they scheduled at least three cupcakes and had home games against the better teams. We all watched what happened when FCS powerhouse EWU showed up in Bozo this year.
MSU, the most over rated number two team in the nation.

Are you seriously trying to argue that your 5-6 team that got beat by the Cats at your place is better than the Cats

 

[indian-outlaw]

Nguyen is also a better back than Kirk.

Peter is a damn good back but he is not better than Cody Kirk.

 

[Grizzlies1982]

Are you seriously trying to argue that your 5-6 team that got beat by the Cats at your place is better than the Cats

I believe he said he thinks the Griz d-line and linebackers were better than the cats. I don't believe he even said the cats players were that bad, just not better.

I can't speak for him, but I believe the real difference in Montana's 5-6 record was playing most of the year without a secondary, and uncertainty at the QB position. Now you two carry on with the empty argument.
:ugeek:


P.S. I hope Kirk's injury is not serious.

No, I have no argued that, or tried to argue that. But since you asked, yes, I believe the Griz were better team than the Cats, and would have gone further in the playoffs. However, the Griz couldn't finish or get it done, so the Cats won and moved into the playoffs.

And you don't know what you're talking about. Probably don't even go to the games. Kirk runs hard and forward, but doesn't have much for moves.
