Sac st president v the um Pandas....

[110010110]

Reasons to cheer for the gris:
Having them be ranked as high as possible when we play would be the best for our last impression on the playoff committee.

Seeing sac completely fail after everything that clown car of a program has pulled the last year and a half has brought me great schadenfreude. Seeing that continue would be very funny.

Reasons to cheer for sac:
FTG

I'm not really sure what to do here....

It’s easy — which will you celebrate more, a gris loss or a Sac State win?

A gris loss. Always.

Wait, what!? The gris fans chant "FTC" when they aren't even playing the Cats? WTH, that's just wrong. Think about the children in the stands that have to hear that. The Cats are so living in their heads rent free. Talk about little brother mentality. Obviously, they are jealous of the Cats success.


There, did I get that right?

Clearly you've never played the game so you don't know what you are talking about.



Does that make it complete?

Sac St better beat the Pandaz or change their mascot to the Lady Bugs or Mosquitos.

That would be a horrible interview for anyone involved with the school/football program. But to come from the president of the university?! Woof….

For the seeding implications and general FTG sentiment I have, I’d be happy to see the griz lose.
For the FSS sentiment I’ve quickly gained and to see this guy eat his words once again, I’d be happy to see the griz roll by 30.

Win/win I suppose?

For seeding implications, you should want the Griz to win until the Brawl. If they lose to Nut Sac State, they likely fall outside of the top 10, with not much chance to climb, playing the dregs of the Big Sky (BBQ, EWWWW, and Portland St). It's better for the Bobcats to end the season with 2 top 8 (or higher) victories.

He is trying to hype up their fan base, but that's an interesting way to do it. Heck, they had to have a big concert after the game with UNC to get 20K people in there yesterday. I can't wait to see how they survive as an FCS independent. They currently have three games scheduled for next season. Good luck to them.

I think Sac will be someone the Cats can get to come to Bozeman without a home and home fairly often. I’d be all for Sac coming to Bozeman every three/four years.

I don't think any FCS school, especially BSC schools, should throw this clown a lifeline. He chose to be FCS independent after calling the subdivision JV, despite the program never succeeding at the level. I think the FCS should let him lay in the bed he made.

The funny thing about the results of this game is that I will be laughing at whatever team loses. This will be an embarrassing loss for either of them.

The griz won’t fall out of the top 10 with their first loss being to a solid team on the road. My guess would be somewhere in the 7,8,9 range.

In the scenario the Cats win cat/griz, the Cats seed won’t be affected much by a griz loss this week. Whether they beat a #4 griz or a #8 griz in week 13 is pretty inconsequential, it’ll still be a top 10 road win for the Cats.

The Cats will come in at 2, 3 or 4 in the seeds if they win out. A lot of variables will affect that, but I don’t think a griz win/loss this weekend is high on that list of variables.

Agreed. The SDSU vs NDSU game and the rest of Tarleton’s season will have a greater impact on Cats seeding than the Sac State-Panda game.

... as well as the results of the UND vs _DSU games.

This just gets better and better. The media is talking about how Montana does not travel well.

This. It’s highly unlikely, but I hope Tarleton gets exposed in the next month. They’ve played nobody but Army and they have two bottom ranked teams left on their schedule which will only raise their stock if they win out. One of which is Austin Peay who lost by two touchdowns to unranked Eastern KY two weeks ago.

I'll always root against the gris no matter what but it would be pretty funny if they showed up in black and white uniforms and beat Sac by 40.

Well in the FCS world, I would say the Griz and Cats travel probably better than anyone, including the DSUs. That said, I am wondering how many fans are making the trip to Sac for this night game. There will probably be 1,000, but Griz Nation will call it 10,000.

He's made asinine statements this week but this may have been the dumbest. He's worried about attendance because the VISITING team "doesn't travel well"?! In what world do home teams blame ****** attendance on visiting teams. Dumbest thing I have read in some time.

The griz travel as well as anyone in the FCS. They'll travel just fine to this game. Even though it's an awful place to watch a game. Attendance will still suck. And it won't be the griz fans fault.

I wish Mike Kramer was the coach responding. I believe he would challenge their young president to “show some alacrity”!

If Cal State University - Sacramento gets beat down by the Kung Fu Pandas, will Jackson Presley decommit again?

Although you may be right, I wouldn't be surprised if the griz drop out of the top 10 with a loss this weekend (though I doubt we'll ever find out). Calling Sac State a solid team is a bit of a stretch. They are in the Others Receiving Votes list for the STATS (28) and Coaches' (32) polls, not in the top 40 of the AGS poll.

Last week, UND (9/11/8) beat Southern Illinois (12/12/11) 38-19. Southern Illinois dropped to 16/18/17 (rankings are STATS/Coaches/AGS). So Southern Illinois dropped 4/6/6 ranks for losing to a team that should have beat them, though they were ranked close to each other.

Illinois State (10/9/12) lost to Youngstown State (32/25/30) 35-40 last week. They dropped to 18/20/22 (8/11/10 ranks). This is much closer to the situation for the griz this weekend in terms of rankings.

I agree that "the Cats seed won’t be affected much" by the griz being top 5 versus top 10. But in the competition for a top 2 seed, not much may be quite different than not at all. IMO we can still get a top 2 seed but we want every little advantage we can get, one of which is the griz being ranked as high as possible going into the Cat/griz game.
