Kittens into the Transfer pool

[bigsky33]

Hoops, I think the offensive statistics say otherwise about the Cats OL. You don’t compile statistics like that without a good OL. The previous season was the same.

Three of the four losses were by a combined total of 8 points. I look at that than better than an okay team. Just my opinion.

what about that 4th loss?

We all know that was a blow out. Yes, the Griz played a great game.

 

[BelierPeaux]

I fully expect that once the Griz season ends the hammer is going to come down on us as well. Griz are not immune and have no NIL incentives in place to stay. Honestly, there should be an NIL drive or something. We gotta kickstart our collective and get our dudes some money if we want them to stay. It’s pay to play at this point.

Go ahead and contribute if you haven't!

I think there was some talent there EV. If only there was coaching to go with it.

Yeah, they were VERY TALENTED on Oline. Look at the offers Omar and Reimer are getting. A lot of P4 offers going their way after just 24 hours in the portal. Arizona state, Purdue, Kansas state, Texas tech….you get the picture. They each already have big time P4 offers.

Now Omar adds the SEC to his list of offers. Arkansas just offered him……bobcats are taking some serious losses. Those were truly talented dudes they had. The offers they’re getting speak volumes in regard to their talent and potential

Yet they lost 4 games and lost by 189 or something to Montana.

The offensive stats are not as meaningful, as watching teams, games, and o-lines. The most important stat is whether games were won against good teams. MSU has had a good running scheme, very good QB play (especially running), pretty good running backs, good TE's, and a pretty good o-line (very good for running the scheme). MSU racks up big stats against weaker teams.

3d down, and maybe 4th down, conversion percentage is an important stat. In the Cat losses, Cats were 13/42 on 3d down conversions. Terrible. On 4th, 2/7. Cats couldn't run, or pass, to pick up 3d downs.

Cat QB's usually had good running stats, because they were very good runners, Mellott is very fast, the plus one scheme for running was very good, and the o-line blocked well for that part of the schemes. The Cat RB's didn't run for much yardage, especially in the losses. Under 100 against NDSU, 122 against UM, 128 against Idaho, and 76 against SDSU.

Cats' season rushing was 292.5. The Cat qb's and rb's generally had good average per carry overall, but not always in the tougher games.

This doesn't support a great o-line, in my view. And, I watched some of the games, including the last 2, and I didn't think the Cat o-line was anything special at all.

Good and top teams win close games. The Cats couldn't win those close games. Just like then Griz the prior year.

You are welcome to your o-line. Good, but not great. Good for the scheme, except when the opponent has a good D and D scheme against it, like UM and NDSU (sort of) did. MSU had some good o-line. They are moving on.

Good points. I guess we will see next season. I am optimistic.

Will Sixx address this mess? You’d think he would want to do a press conference this week and not end the season on such a sour note.

He must be hiding, planning how to get out. I did happen to notice a personal ad on the coach’s job listing site:

If you like subpoenas of process
And your QB in pain
If you’re not in Dakota
And you hate driving trains
If you like makin’ fun ofTwilight
On VHS cassette tape
Then I'm the coach that you've looked for
Write to me and escape

Solid work here.

By the way, Garizz, I'm hearing rumors there maaaaaay have been a hearing today involving one of the bub assistants (I can't recall which one; there are so many under criminal investigation it's impossible to keep them straight). See what your man on the street can find out.


Also, if this is actually true, that there WAS a hearing today, can you even imagine??? I mean, how effing WAAC is THAT?! Just like we predicted: As soon as the season is over, waded picks up the phone and tells the DA he can proceed now. What a joke that program is.

They did get their asses kicked by the Griz, but I really think that speaks more to the talent of Gub and our Linebackers than anything. It’s also a rivalry game and weird stuff happens in rivalry games. Griz got curb stomped in bozo last year, and I’m sure that team was better and more talented than the beating they took would suggest. And to my previous point, I think our linebackers play as good as any I see playing in the MWC. I watch a lot of MWC football, and the guys we have are playing at a top notch MWC level for sure. Especially hill. I suspect if he hit the portal and had some eligibility left that dude would have some serious offers.

IDK, have not seen My Homey since the weather changed. Hope he’s ok. I bought his Panda order hoping I would see him but I literally had to eat it.

This gets a head nod, which those in the business know is THE top compliment. Top work.

I'm guessing all of them are just waking up to the fact that the backups are better and would start ahead of them next season.

There are no backups better than Valdez. That one hurts. The OL is a different story. I haven't heard anyone I know say the backups are better than Omar or Reimer. But with the depth the Cats have at this position, there won't be much of a drop off. Looking at the end of 2021 when the Cats lost all four OL starters, in 2022 there was no drop off in OL play.

Are you suggesting the cats are potentially 2024 Preseason Champs?

I don't take banter like this seriously until some steps up with an assertion. Postulation at minimum. Declaration... LFG.
