Playoffs Rnd 2

Seeing a 1pm kick. Davis/URI getting ESPN 2 evening game.

ESPN says 12mnt.

Unless I'm missing something, the official NCAA bracket shows Davis/URI at 3 P.M. Eastern, so that would be a 1 P.M. MDT, right?

Never mind. I missed seeing that Davis is hosting. So it looks like 12 is the correct time for PST.

The griz finally have to play a home playoff game against a team that won't be afraid of the stadium or the weather. I like SDSU's chances regardless of how many players are out (now that Mason is back).

[Long Time Cat]

Realistic chance that the Mecca of the Decibel owns a 2-game losing streak to end the season?

A quick look at SDSU shows they will still be missing a leading Receiver (O'Groske), Right Tackle (Hagen), Right Guard (BigBow), Defensive End (Kirschenman), and Sam (Van Tol). They are still retooling their OL per HC in his presser. Otherwise everybody is back. Hopefully there is a JackRabbit out there that can confirm this?

Certainly, a much more realistic chance then there would be if Mason wasn’t playing. He obviously instills a lot of confidence in the team, but don’t know if it’s enough to overcome a pretty good gris team at home.

You are correct. Looks like it was changed since I printed out my bracket. Thanks.

[84CatGrad]

Crap, I was hoping you were right on the time. I hate it when I can't watch both MSU and UM games, especially playoffs.

My policy is to never ever watch the firzzzzzz games, except the obvious one.

SDSU is easily the 2nd best team the Gris have played. I don’t think it’ll be easy for um.

The griz played by FAR their best, most complete game of this season in the Brawl. And still lost, at home. They looked nothing like that vs ewu, isu, etc.

If they play that well again next week, they have a good chance to win at home. If they play more like they typically have this season, they'll get beat.

100% my thoughts as well.

[Run-the-ball]

At this point it’s hard not to see SDSU beating the griz. And the Cats rolling Yale.

[coloradocat]

The griz are better than every team east of the Mississippi but 41-3 is impressive. SDSU may still need more guys back to win in Missoula but the griz are definitely going to have their hands full.

[GoCats18]

Can season ticket holders still reserve their tickets for the Yale game? My buddy forgot to put in for his and I can’t remember exactly what the email said. I thought it said they would have one more chance, maybe that was only for the quarterfinals and semifinals though.

Paging @MinnesotaJack - any update on the above?

From original email I received is below. Looks like he needs to call ticket office on Monday at 9am to get best available and he can not get his regular reserved tickets for first game. And needs to act by Thursday to reserve for quarters.

Should the Bobcats Receive a First Round Bye: Season ticket holders have until Nov. 20th at 11 pm to claim their tickets. This includes the request for additional tickets to be fulfilled based on priority points. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Nov. 24th at 10 am.

Should the Bobcats Host a Quarterfinal Game: Season Ticket Holders who did not initially claim any or all playoff tickets for this round have the opportunity to claim tickets until Dec. 4th at 11 pm. This includes the request for additional tickets to be fulfilled based on priority points. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Dec. 8th at 10 am.

Should the Bobcats Host a Semifinal Game: Season Ticket Holders who did not initially claim any or all playoff tickets for this round have the opportunity to claim tickets until Dec. 11th at 11 pm.

We haven't been all that forthright with injury statuses, we get "he's working hard to get back," "getting better every day," etc. I'm assuming all of these guys are out until I see them on the field. I do think Hagen, Big Bow, and Kirschenman are probably done for the year (could possibly return for Nashville if we made it that far) and Van Tol & O'Groske could be back sooner but I don't think it will be this weekend.

Honestly, while these injuries of course hurt (they're starters for a reason after all) we have enough depth at these positions to withstand them pretty well. The one position we did not have depth to withstand an injury was at QB. Getting just Mason back is worth 10x getting all of the others back. I do also think starting RB Julius Loughridge was playing through an injury as he went through a tough stretch with little production and reduced carries, but the last 2 weeks he has been running hard and as hard to tackle as he was the first 5-6 games of the year.

Bobcats and Bunnies unite! Thanks for the update. This week you are my second favorite team of all time. All you need to do is to smack down the gris in Missoula! That’s all. Go, Jack’s! and
