2025 Griz Hail Mary

[HookedOnGriz]

I posted this response in the Moving on to the Bunnies thread then realized we don't to much up that thread with a bunch of Dark Pink talk, so re posting it here:

Totally agree that is one of the easiest schedules I can remember. I suppose a top level DII team like Central Washington cold give them a scare (remember Ferris State?), and maybe Indiana State, but highly unlikely either of those two teams will beat them. Playing at Idaho State could be tricky too. But, realistically, Idaho, UND, at Sac, and MSU will be their only real challenges. I predict they are 10-1 heading into the Brawl.

Based on what? Not trying to be contrarian its just when you do predictions on teams prior to a season there are factors you consider. Recent past history, returning experience, coaching acumen and yes, ease or strength of schedule. Only one of these is a positive for the griz. They went to the natty but they've finished closer to middle top-half of the conference more as of late. That team that wen to the Natty had a ton of returning experience. And BH has shown every season, even the one that they went to Frisco in, a lack of any ability to manage the QB situation.

We really have no idea what the talent level of this team is. Sure Colter says they look great but that's on the practice field. They could be Nashville level or they could be 5th in the conference again. So much of that team is a complete unknown entity. Anyone saying they know for sure is lying.

Did you have the griz losing at home to Weber last season? Or losing to NAU the year before? They are a team built from transfers. Teams built similarly are UIW who lost in week 0 and dang near lost to EWU Saturday. Or Sac St who got dominated by SDSU. The history of teams built this way at this level just isn't great but that's what I'm goin off of and it's starting to be enough of a sample size. Griz this year are 3rd to 5th in the conference, make the playoffs and are bubble top 8 seed team. Get drilled the moment they have to leave Wagriz and play a good team. That's a prediction that's safe because its what has happened every season since 2019 save one.

Oh I'm with you, I don't think they're even a top level FCS team but I was just basing my prediction based on their schedule and the ridiculous fact that they play EIGHT regular seasons at home. I would love to see them at 7-4 coming into Cat Griz but I just don't see it happening. What do you think their record will be coming into the Brawl?

I posted earlier that they are a 8-4 or 9-3 team so I think they will have 2 to 4 losses going into the brawl.

Another whoops! That’s 2 for you

I predicted two losses for them during the regular season. Given how the games went against UND, ISU and EWU I think it was a pretty good prediction.
Bringing in an orphanage of transfers every year to round out the roster is not going to bear fruit in the long run. No amount of beating your chest this year is going to change that.

Moving the goal posts? The consensus here was that bringing in all of these transfers and new faces was going to be in abysmal failure for Coach Hauck and the Griz this year. That it would be impossible to get them to all gel and play well together. Then Coach Hauck must be the best coach in the history of the world since he succeeded to do that so effectively, surpassing all of your expectations here and bringing his team to an 11–0 record. Gotcha!

Coming over to this board and ignoring everything that was said about Cat-Griz 2.0 to give some receipts on this thread is reaaaaaallly something man.

Congrats, the transfer portal worked out well for UM this year. Now you're losing 30 seniors and have to try to do it all over again. Good luck.

Honestly have no idea what you’re talking about. This post you quoted from me was from Nov 18, well before a Cat Griz 2.0. Are you not aware that each post has a time stamp? Check it out next time, it can help you.

That's not surprising.

I said you coming over to this board and ignoring everything you said about Cat-Griz 2.0 just to post in this thread is really something. This board, meaning, BobcatNation as a whole. This thread, meaning, the thread we're posting in right now. Yes, I realize that the post you referenced was from November 18. You posted on here in regards to Cat-Griz 2.0 from December 7 to 16, then disappeared for a couple weeks for some peculiar reason, and now you're posting #receipts pretending like you didn't run away earlier. It's cute.

You’re missing the entire point. It’s almost frightening how dumb you are making yourself look. This “receipt” you are claiming I’m posting here was from Nov 18 before Cat Griz 1 let alone Cat Griz 2. Hence the reason I said you should check out timestamps it would help you not look so foolish.

My goodness man.

I'm making fun of how you were posting on Bobcat Nation just before the brawl, then disappeared after UM lost, and now you're back here a couple weeks later posting receipts on a separate thread. I fully realize you weren't on this thread before the brawl, but you were on the board posting, and then you skedaddled away after your team lost.

But on to more important things Hooked... Given what all we currently know about both programs, what are the Odds that the Cats beat the Griz again in Bozeman next year? Of course it's never 100%, but what are we thinking, 99%?

Yes probably 90%. Your trenches are better and you’re very tough to beat at home. Unless Ah Yat goes off for 350 yards passing with 4 TDs. Other than that you guys will take that one, again.

I love when Hooked posts! He is truly one of the dumbest posters from any fan base!

Ugh, as much as I can't stand the gris, they are getting DECIMATED by the portal, really sucks. If 2025 was a relatively successful Hail Mary for um, it's going to take a miracle of much greater magnitude than the portal magic BH pulled off in 2025... Then again, if he wasn't such a jerk, maybe not quite as many guys would be leaving as have in the past week or so...

Note that I'm NOT celebrating this. MSU football won't be immune to the portal madness, just hoping a Natty will soften the blow a bit...

Cats got pretty decimated last year, but fortunately Vigen is building a program with kids being developed and waiting in the wings for their chance to play. Bobby thinks he knows better by living in the portal and not developing players. He for lucky last year, maybe he'll get lucky again. Though that luck might have manifested better if he had beat the Cats and gone to the natty.

Only half decimated by the departures to the 2026 portal. The rest of the decimation is from ALL the Portal Transfers he brought in for 1 or 2 and done. No depth and no one in the hopper. Next fall he brings in 20 more senior transfers and does it all over again next year.

Just a website. Does this link work? I'm also using it on a laptop, not a phone in case that's the issue.
