I prefer being the underdog, getting 2021 vibes where they were supposed to come in and smoke us with McKay
*Hailey. I think herder actually picked the GRIZ.

They probably listened to Colter and Sammy’s breakdown where the Cats are supposedly better at 80% of the positions on the field. With this logic Vigen should be fired if they don’t win.
Not a lot of bettor confidence in the Griz it seems.
Love it.

What do you expect from a couple of losers?
Usually it's the kiss of death when Haley picks the Griz, so this is good news. Let's go boys!
He picked the venue not the griz. Has nothing to do with respect for the team. Zach made a point that if we lose we need to be further penalized for scheduling a D2 team. Even though the bison didn’t get penalized for scheduling Augustana last year.
Everyone keeps pointing to that CWU game, and not giving us any credit for scheduling an FCS team on what could have been a bye. A team that is on the bubble for a playoff spot to boot. F*** the FCS guys and their perpetual bias, F*** the committee.
So….

From Hero, Harvard/Yale and Lehigh/Lafayette:
"If Yale loses, it likely won’t make the playoffs at 7-3 with a head-to-head loss to Dartmouth, who could potentially hit eight wins. A 10-0 Harvard team looks to have a shot at a Top 8 seed.
Bubble teams should be rooting for Harvard. [Like Dartmouth; it's going to kill me to root for Harvard]
This is the 141st playing of The Game. When these two faced off in 2023, the Yale Bowl drew 51,127 fans. It’s among the best rivalry games in the FCS, and it now draws more national intrigue with the postseason stakes.
Harvard has mostly rolled its competition this year in its 9-0 start, outscoring opponents on average of 40.67-15.11. Last week, though, the Crimson needed a Kieran Corr 53-yard field goal as time expired to beat Penn 45-43. Penn had just taken the lead with 22 seconds left. Yale also found itself in a battle last week, beating Princeton 13-10. [Harvard is vulnerable.]
Jaden Craig has been tremendous this season for Harvard, throwing for 2,456 yards, 21 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Yale’s defense allows 16.0 points per game and 208.9 passing yards per game. Linebacker Inumidun Ayo-Durojaiye leads the unit with 91 tackles."
Lehigh is 11-0 vs. the FCS with one currently-ranked win (Yale). Lafayette is 8-3 overall, 8-1 vs. the FCS with no currently-ranked wins, and 6-0 in Patriot League play. The winner here earns the auto-bid. If Lafayette wins, the Patriot League will be a two-bid league, as Lehigh would be in the bracket as an at-large bid. If Lehigh wins, it is likely somewhere in the Top 5 seeds at 12-0 with two currently-ranked wins, while Lafayette may be left on the wrong side of the bubble.
Bubble teams should be rooting for Lehigh.
Saturday is the 161st playing of “The Rivalry”, which is the most-played rivalry in college football."
No. 8/10 Harvard at RV/No. 25 Yale Prediction

Sorry, that's not accurate. What are they thinking? Not at QB, RB, receivers (Dowler very good), some in OL, I suppose, not at TE, I'm not impressed with Cat DL (not many sacks), not at LB, I'm not impressed with Cat secondary. What, 10 picks? 70% on field are better for UM.

Yeah I turned it off once they said without hesitation that the Cat LB’s were better
From the below attached article he did pick the Griz.

The UM linebackers are way better. Roger Cooper is my neighbor.

I mean if you look at PFF, we lead the conference in many positions. I think QB is a toss up, both fit their offense, RBs are close but I think the cats have a slight edge. O-line is the cats as a unit but the gris might have 1 or 2 better players. TEs are a toss up.
Cat’s d-line is one of if not the best unit in the country, Jordan Tripp agrees. Linebackers are solid, maybe a slight edge to the gris but you have to remember the gris linebackers do WAY more blitzing and play much more aggressive which improves stats. Safety is 100% cats, Dowler will likely win dpoy. Corners are close, cats are young but very good and tackle very well, gris have has same issues which I might give the cats the edge.
If Akem, a guy who PLAYED for the gris, and Colter, who is a reporter, are saying this I think they know what they are talking about.
Bisons' non-conference teams last year was Colorado, Tennesse state, East Tennessee state and Towson state, all division 1 teams NDSU hasn't played or scheduled Augustana in over 20 years.. stop with the bs they Scheduled Augustana for last year..
