The last two Griz losses, Sammy last December and tonight, I have never felt better about. It's so weird to say that as I have punched a few holes in my walls over Griz road games over the years, but to see a team rally, like the Griz did back in December when SHSU was just throttling people, and tonight at the Rock, where many GOOD teams have been throttled over the years, just makes me pretty damn proud to be a GRiZ fan, and the last two losses have stung a lot less than the others over the years.
I was one of the ones who feared a double-digit loss tonight even way back when JJ was still the QB. I just felt ASU owed the Griz one and tonight was the night. And ASU did get them, But damn, the Griz really surprised me and I am not at all worried about them hanging their heads. The Griz have too many leaders, too good of a coaching staff to do that and they are finding out, as are the rest of us, they are too good to do that. This season has a CHANCE (cause you never really know) to be just as special as many others.

One thing I noticed on TM's deep throws is he tends to throw to the WR at that moment vs. the spot (lead them) where the WR will be. Not sure if this is an arm strength or learning issue. Stayed fairly composed cause they could of tanked it down 21-7. I was at the game and it seemed to me that they applied a lot of pressure in passing situations. I did like some of the nice bullets he threw over the middle. Very impressed with this effort and hopefully they continue to improve.

I thought it was really good. Crowd was engaged entire game...obviously cause of match-up. Student section runs from 20 yd to 20 yd line and looked like first 15 rows or so. However, they are behind the Appy bench. Stadium is beautiful and built against a small mountain. It is open and I believe Wa Griz is definitely louder. It is a fun place to catch a game and both teams are blessed with such a great fan base and atmosphere.

Preface: I respect a lot of what you write on egriz, and appreciate your efforts. I read a few of your first lines on this thread, and instantly got pissed. I disagree with your sideline Moore comments. He is right. He busted his fricking nuts all game, only to have someone not do their job. Yes-He is a freshman, and freshman and all people make mistakes. However, I don't think Dan's reactions were necessarily "detrimental" to the teams momentum. Bottom Line: He was hooking all night long, and they got progressively worse. He should have been able to make the PAT, or the coaches should have tried someone else. Maybe not the best reaction, but not out of line IMO.

I will take Dan Moore throwing his helmet at this point. Two games into the season he has got to be the MVP
of this team. That screen pass run was huge! It could have been the play of the game if the PAT
was made.

As far as I'm concerned, with the advent of the "lets pussify football by minimizing player contact on returns" rule, there isn't a player on the team who should try to return a kick from 5 yards deep in the endzone. You'd have to average greater than 30 yards a return to have better field position than having the ball spotted on the 25. If I remember correctly, Naccarato was hit around the 15 yard line....not a good decision on his part.
On the bright side:
Holmes is an animal and I find it fitting that he is sporting the Tim Buch #91 jersey :thumb: If he continues to develop, the sack record may be in serious jeopardy.
Dan M. is a monster......bowling over, hurdling, and stiff arming players like they were rag dolls. I kept hearing Chris Berman in my head on the screen pass for TD....rumblin', bumblin', stumblin.....he could go all the way....Touchdown!!!

Should have done this, Should have done that, but weren't the Griz projected to lose big at App. St. :? Don't care what mistakes caused the game, The Griz Played Awesome and "We Are MT."! First loss I am ok with. 
Go Griz, you looked and played excellent. :thumb:

Comparing Nacarrato's fumble to those by PN is comical. PN fumbles without being TOUCHED. Nacarrato got absolutely decleated. 99% of returners in football would have fumbled that ball there.
Uhhhh. I didn't see PN have fumble nor a near fumble. You guys who can't move past a bad season are comical. Just get over it and support a pretty good football player who does the right things on and off the field.
