What if cats win next week?

It won't happen, so let's get that out of the way.

But if it did, I'd say that would be great for the FCS, the Big Sky conference, and us, oddly enough, in addition to obviously being good for MSU.

Agree with all of that. I'm well aware of the incredibly slim chance that the Cat's pull off the upset, but if they did, I think that'd be good for the FCS.

What NDSU has been doing is both incredible and incredibly frustrating for the rest of the FCS. When it's one team and everyone else, it gets old. If it's not the Cats next week, I'd love to see one of the other Big Sky teams take them out in the championship. That'd be great for the Big Sky as a whole.

I know it is hard to admit it. We understand.

My life doesn't hang on the performance and outcome of a Griz game.

Your history of posts on here indicate otherwise.

It has more to do with stupidity of others, so carry on.

I think that’s more pathetic. You claim to have a more vested interest in the “stupidity of others” here than on the griz themselves. Not sure what your definition of “stupid” is but it seems pretty hypocritical to me.

When it comes to egriz...yes.
 
MSU will not be able to bye this one out. You have to actually play these games to have a shot to win them. If they can pull off the upset I would be happy for em great win cats. I however, did not watch their last game nor will I watch the next one. I couldn't care less.

Yikes.
 
I fear this game will actually show how far the Cats and the Griz have to go if they want to be contenders. Neither is a quality team right now. Cats would not have made the playoffs if it were not for the expanded playoff field. No, that is not a slam against them and they had a nice win yesterday. I am merely pointing out the huge chasm between the top 8 and everyone else (maybe the top 2 and everyone else). It takes time to build a program and let's hope the Griz are on their way. Bozeman may have a problem in the near future if Choate keeps having winning seasons. The coaching carousel will rear it's head. (it might with their OC - sooner rather than later). Gregorak might get his chance at head coach eventually.

Good post. On the expanded field, it is expanded. It was done intentionally. So why not accept that it was expanded. The NCAA basketball tourney had been expanded significantly over the decades. Any time the number of slots for something is increased, more teams get selected, by definition.

I think chasm is more between NDSU, and perhaps another team or two each year, and the rest. EWU, Weber, and Davis were all better than MSU and UM this year, but I really don't think the difference was huge. They are top 8. NI is now top 16. UM beat them.

Can't imagine the Cats could beat NDSU, but perhaps they can figure out how to make it a game. I'm not holding my breath for that either.
 
Cats chances of winning this week are about the same as the Griz winning.

Only thing left to be determined is if the Cats buy out of this one before Saturday.

A cat win is a win for the Sky. Doubt if it happens, but who could be against it?

At this point - i hate to say this - a Bobcat win is a win for the FCS
It is not a good thing to have anyone win as many championships in a row as NDSU has

I agree PR. My intention was not knock the expansion. I think it is good for the game and the fans. You never know - a team might peek at the right time and go on a run. I just think the cream has definitely settled at the top and I eagerly await someone consistently challenging NDSU.

when egriz is 80%+ stupidity, I just roll with the flow.
