When was the last year

that both the cats and Griz missed the playoffs? Mid 80's maybe?
I know there is alot of football to be played, but right now both teams have a ton of work to do to make playoffs.
 
Not to be a dick, but I hate the “we” discussions when it comes to things like this.

The Griz have missed the playoffs 2 times in the last 20 years and the Cats have made the playoffs 7 times in the last 20 years.

I get the point that they both have some work to do this year, but that is kind of a misleading question. Makes it sound like we both have a track record of making the playoffs, which is not the case.

To be fair, four of those seven are in the past five years. At what point does it become a "track record of making the playoffs"?

Yeah, I get it and that is fair. I just went back 20 years for some historical perspective. My point is that one team has made the playoffs 18 of the last 20 years and the other has made the playoffs 7 of the last 20 years.

Just my opinion, but it seems odd to say “when was the last time they both didn’t make the playoffs”. It’s like saying the Cats and Griz have 10 players in the NFL. Kind of misleading.

I deal with the “we” game all the time from by Bobcat buddies. There is always some angle that makes things seem more even then they really are. Again, just my opinion.
 
I guess i should have worded it different??
When was the last year that neither Montana team particpated in the playoffs???
I'm sorry I missed the we in my OP
 
MSU wont be looking at the playoffs after they lose in Grand Forks this week....this is an even earlier exit than even the Cats are used to!

I think you missed the point.

Whether you say "we" or "neither Montana teams", etc., if leaves the impression that both are perennial playoff teams, which I thought was kind of misleading.

Your original post was clear enough, as you got a straight answer to your question. :thumb:

Actually I do appreciate it and was going to post something along those lines over there. I've agreed with almost all of your recent comments on BN, even though it felt dirty and wrong. Until I saw this tidbit here, haha. I, for one, really enjoy when UM fans talk honestly there. Pure football discussions are much better like that - but I don't expect you to understand :P
