2025 Griz Hail Mary

[catatac]

They'll have a completely different, new team. I heard they'll have almost FIFTY new players, including all the transfer players and recruits. Will they better or worse than last year? Time will tell. Personally I think it's a huge challenge, uphill battle to bring in fifty new players and have them all gel and become a complete, championship caliber team.

That many new players is going to be tough...
If they are a bunch of players following a newly hired coach (i.e. Indiana last season) I think they could compete, but this is a different circumstance.

I think they will be competitive. Their coach seems to be a fairly good judge of talent. He of a name that shall not be spoken, can coach. He just has a tough time being a human.

I think they did a Hail Mary with their legacy 37 jersey this year. Picking a sophomore who had 2 tackles last year seems a little odd. There must be a senior from Montana on the roster who is worthy of the honor.

nope.

Does he get to wear it til he graduates or is no longer eligible to play? I would think it should go to a senior with a year left.

Good question. That's kinda weird giving it to a sophomore. And pretty telling that there's not a Montana senior worthy to wear it. Yikes.

It’s never been about a Montana born senior being worthy of the honor, that was a Choate qualifier when he created your #41. Since 1983, 19 Griz (Clay Oven include) have worn the #37 jersey, only 7 were chosen as seniors and there are 4 players who wore it all 4 years of their Griz careers.

I think they only have 10 Montana born Seniors or Juniors, but I am surprised that some of those guys were passed over for a sophomore with two career tackles.

What are the odds he will quickly get passed over in Grisland by a portal transfer?

Definitely possible. Could be a strange situation for a legacy number to be second string.

The Griz #37 jersey is not the same as the MSU #41 jersey. When that tradition first began the #37 always went to a young player who would get to wear the jersey for several years, so they seem to be going back to this tradition somewhat with this year's pick. I do recall there being some pretty major controversy in Grizland a few years back when Bobby Hauck allegedly tried to take #37 away from the player who had it to give it to Robby Hauck instead. Not sure if that's something that actually happened or if it was just internet rumors.
