Spring schedule

[CDAGRIZ]

Stop embarrassing yourselves.

How does one even embarrass themself on an anonymous CF message board? Hard to imagine; would probably take some effort.
Unless they were an octogenarian who logged in to ask why the center points, or to suggest the Mecca of FCS football install a dome to conceal the inherent, majestic beauty and natural elements. In that case, he/she would probably have to abandon their prior avatar and start over with a complete rebrand

Holy shit, I didn’t even look at the name to realize it’s Davey Deuce. That’s on me.

Has anyone determined whether (a) Choach will start a new QB again this year, and/or (b) Dennis Erickson won four straight against the Griz?

a) I have no reason to believe Rovig won't keep his streak alive. Once again I believe he will lose the #1 spot at some point in fall camp. Remarkable really. I'm excited garr will have another chance to dazzle us with all new memes when it happens. Good times.

b) I can only find 3 times Erickson beat UM as a starting QB. SAC actually makes a living in this business tho, so I would be surprised if he's wrong.

I don't think Choate has announced a starter. I think Erickson only started three years so he beat the griz three times 66-68, not sure though.

Thx. I guess we can never be truly sure about things that allegedly occurred in these programs prior to 1985.

Now I’m confused. I thought the North Carolina fella was already in town to play in the spring. Are you saying rovig will start in the spring but then lose the job next fall?

I’ll hang tight for the confirmation that Erickson started 4 wins against UM. :thumb:

I didn't look up the years as an assistant coach, but as head coach UI he won 3 out of 4 years. Too bad idaho can win anymore.

Yeah I'm discounting the spring season already. Choate didn't chart anybody this fall, and there was nothing evaluated in the scrimmage. As of today, it's still wide open.

As far as the spring season goes, Choate has indicated he will be developing depth with the freshmen and redshirts and save the wear and tear on the key contributors. He mentioned Mellott by name several times in press conferences, so look for that kid to play a bunch. Although I expect both Rovig and McKay to get some time too.

It seems the real battle for the starting spots will begin in earnest in the fall. I have a feeling Rovig will be named starter at some point in fall camp before losing it to McKay. Just a guess. I believe the #3 spot will go to Thelen, and Bauman drops to #4. One has to wonder if he makes a move to TE, or finds another place to play. I suspect Mellott finds the field in the fall one way or another, and if so, likely as a package guy similar to Andersen and Travis Jonsen.

The QB room is packed full right now, which obviously runs counter to the narrative on this board.

For (a), yes it is confirmed, because even if Choach names Ro-sham-bo-vig as the opening day starter this season (whenever that may be) Choach will keep his streak alive of never having a returning Day1 QB to start another season. Last year, BBQ’d cat was here bragging up some other new guy whom apparently washed out already or something. RSBV did not start the season last year.

For (b), maybe Cat people are trying to include his record as a head coach somewhere else?? Seems to fit their M.O.

:lol: Ro-sham-bo-vig

I honestly love the idea of a QB room at MSU. It’s like the “Ski Florida” room, or the “Surf Nebraska” room.

On (b), I think that must be the case.
On (a) it’s been so long, was the savior Bauman or Bruggman last year? I get my Baus and Bruggs confused. It was a lot easier to follow when they just picked a guy.

Already-Been-Queefed-Cat said last year’s starter is moving to TE. I think his name is “Brochacho.” Again, how does that happen at a normal school? Day1 starter to being moved to a completely different position in one year? Like all retention issues, it’s usually either recruiting or development, at min, maybe worse.

I’m convinced the best QB on their roster is the one who won a MT state championship at the position, won BSC awards, and then said, “nah, I’m good, thanks.” That’s not recruiting or development. That’s something worse

That's a decent assessment. I guess in the end, it really doesn't matter. Choate can literally start a linebacker at QB and still win the game.

 

[garizzalies]

Do you realize that the same QB beat UM in back to back years (2016 and 17), so the idea that Choate hasn't ever returned a QB is false?

Honest-to-goodness here, I don’t know if you’re referring to the kid who flunked out or the one who tapped out. So, whose point does that prove?

Regardless, neither one was a back-to-back Day1 starter, as is the premise? I’m trying to bite my tongue on the reading comprehension jokes as I know you understand and are purposely being dumb on technicalities because of Cat logic. God damned train drivers.

In fact, your whole Book of Chode post was dizzying. A revisionary history chronicling the trials and tribulations of Choaches’ QB follies. I don’t understand any of it.

Like how is Choaches’ QBs 4-0 against UM? Seems like he’s been there longer than that. I specifically recall being at a game where UM beat him. Crushed him really. Now, I was crapulous that day, danced down Kagy Ave., and took a nap on the warm, soft-humming dryers at the nearby campus laundromat, but it was not a dream.

Now I’m confused. I thought the North Carolina fella was already in town to play in the spring. Are you saying rovig will start in the spring but then lose the job next fall?

I’ll hang tight for the confirmation that Erickson started 4 wins against UM. :thumb:

First: I do my sports show and Calling games for FREE.... So I am definitely not a skinnier, more handsome version of Colter Nuanez... 2nd, I am waiting for conformation on how long Erickson was on the team (seems to be some debate, as his freshman roommate says 4 years, but stats show 3). Rest assured, I will get to the bottom of it.

In the 60's, freshmen were not eligible for varsity; there was a freshmen schedule, so there's no way he played varsity as a frosh.

Frosh became eligible for varsity football, in D-I, in 1972.

"Major colleges were given permission today to use freshmen on their varsity football and basketball teams, starting with the 1972 football season and the 1972‐73 basketball season.

The National Collegiate Athletic Association, in a surprise move, granted freshmen eligibility in the two biggest team sports, thus making first‐year students varsity candidates in all sports at all colleges. Two years ago the N.C.A.A. gave varsity, eligibility to freshmen in sports other than football and basketball and last year allowed small colleges to use freshmen in football and basketball.:

MSU was D-2 when Erickson Played there.

I have so many questions here; but I will try to limit it to just two topics.

First, if you M.F’ers screw up Mellot and he gets “Troy’d” there should be a lawsuit of some kind or something. I would not take that lying down. After a year or so of what you’re describing, the kid will likely be begging to move to defense, just like #15. Could this approach be a factor in the low retention at the position?

FWIW, if I had an unprofessional goatee, man boobs, and chicken-parm breath, I would name #15 QB1 and Mellot QB2, and move all others to a different position.

Second, are you saying Choach is not taking the spring season serious? And is not going to try and win it? Or are you planting the seeds so you can later use this excuse? Or is it just the typical run of the mill our backups are better than our starters?

College Division, actually. What's your point? Freshmen were never eligible for varsity play when DE was there. Just look in an annual. You will find a frosh team picture and a frosh schedule record.

Then there you go. I was just going off what his roommates told me that they thought he played as a Freshman. If he didn't, then I don't think there has ever been a QB at MSU that has won 4 CAT /griz games (or even been on the roster for 4 wins). Now has a Griz QB ever won 4 CAT/griz games? Sure there are a lot that were on the rosters of 4, but amy that started and won all 4 years?
