The Sports Network Picks Cluck U over Griz

[Tokyogriz]

Hey good news,

The dipshit Craig Haley over at The Sports Network has picked Cluck U over the Griz.

You know things are looking good when sports writers pick the other team just out of spite lol! :thumb: :lol:

FCS Playoff Second Round

Fordham (12-1) at X-No. 7 seed Towson (10-2), 1 p.m. (ESPN3). Back in the day - yeah, 1997-2003 - these two teams played together in the Patriot League. Towson's cornerback duo of Jordan Love and Tye Smith face a difficult assignment.

Tennessee State (10-3) at X-No. 2 Eastern Illinois (11-1), 2 p.m. (ESPN3) - You don't want to face a rested EIU offense.

X-Coastal Carolina (11-2) at No. 8 Montana (10-2), 2 p.m. (ESPN3) - Hah, think anybody in Missoula will notice this pick?

X-New Hampshire (8-4) at No. 5 Maine (10-2), 2 p.m. (ESPN3) - Wildcats are hot at the right time of the season.

Furman (8-5) at X-No. 1 North Dakota State (11-0), 3:30 p.m. (ESPN3) - As long as the Bison don't attempt a 57-yard field goal.

South Dakota State (9-4) at X-No. 3 Eastern Washington (10-2), 4 p.m. (ESPN3) - Zach Zenner is 56 rushing yards shy of a second straight 2,000-yard campaign.

Jacksonville State (10-3) at X-No. 6 McNeese State (10-2), 7 p.m. (ESPN3) - Visiting Gamecocks were the most impressive team in the first round.

X-Sam Houston State (9-4) at No. 4 Southeastern Louisiana (10-2), 8 p.m. (ESPN3) - Let the offensive fireworks begin.

SWAC Championship Game

X-Southern (8-4) vs. Jackson State (8-3) at Houston's Reliant Stadium, 2 p.m. (ESPNU) - Jackson State and the East Division ruled in the regular season, but West Division teams have won the last five championship games (although Texas Southern later vacated the 2010 title).

I honestly think jerking our chains is their highest priority lately.

Granted Henderson is a great deep threat, but why is Jones never mentioned? He picks up 3rd down conversions when the Griz need them all the time?

Well crap. I was very confident about this game when he picked the Griz to lose. Now I am getting worried.

What an idiot...NDSU is not Alabama and never will be and Furman is not Auburn and never will be. The only comparison that would even make sense is with App St since they are the only team to have won three championships at the FCS level. So by that logic App St was/is also the Alabama of the FCS.

The Bizon may eventually move up to FBS but there is no way in hell they will ever contend for a national championship at that level.

Que the Bison trolls in three...two...blah blah blah

Anyone else find it ridiculous that we're ranked higher than our opponent in their own poll, but yet they pick against UM?

I guess they don't even care if they APPEAR intelligent... :clap:

 

[Grizzly Oredigger]

Craig Haley clarified on the weekly big sky conference radio show (on the big sky's website) that he thinks the griz win 4 out of 5 times against them...he just needs to pick a few upsets

No. 11 Coastal Carolina (11-2) at No. 4 Montana (10-2)

Kickoff: 2 p.m. ET

What to know: After two straight years of losing to Coastal Carolina in the first round of the postseason, you think Bethune-Cookman has had enough of the Chanticleers?

In 2012, Coastal Carolina advanced past Bethune-Cookman to face Old Dominion. And, as we know from our astute ability that is hindsight, things didn't go so well in that second-round matchup for the Chants.

This year they take on Montana, a team that earned a first-round bye after a 10-2 season which included a defeat of rival Montana State two weeks ago. This game will mark a first for the Chanticleers and Grizzlies, as these two teams have never met on the field before. Coastal Carolina, for that matter, has never faced a team from the Big Sky Conference in its program history.

To really hammer this point home, here's a fun fact: Coastal Carolina is traveling 2,492 miles to Washington-Grizzly Stadium to face Montana this weekend. The previous longest distance the Chanticleers traveled for a football game was 724 miles to Toledo. The team has never left the Eastern Time Zone for a football game. Ever.

And to top it off, the weather forecast on Saturday in Missoula calls for a high of 11 degrees. South Carolina, meet Montana.

The game itself features two strong offenses with unique weapons. Coastal Carolina running back Lorenzo Taliaferro won't burn the Montana defense with his speed, but can certainly put a hurt on players with his power. And quarterback Alex Ross was sensational against B-CU, throwing for four touchdowns. But the dynamic Grizzlies offense led by Jordan Johnson featuring skill position players like Jordan Canada, Travon Van and Ellis Henderson can be just as deadly.

Montana's defensive unit, which ranked third in the Big Sky in run defense, will be hard at work containing Taliaferro and the Chants. Remember, that Grizzlies run defense held Montana State to 112 total rush yards and one offensive touchdown.

After last season's playoff absence, be assured the Grizzly faithful will be out in full playoff force this weekend.

Prediction: Montana 34, Coastal Carolina 24
