After a week of coaches chewing their a$$es off, the Bobcats finally come out pissed off and ready to take it out on someone.

Prediction for the game:

Seems to me our season and team play went in a downward spiral the week we stopped posting the opposing team hotties on the forum. I fully believe this is the issue and is the sole cause of all our bad play and pain as fans.

Jesus, you guys are worse than Griz fans. Home game against a bottom-dweller...I would be surprised if the cats win by less than 20.

Most have MSU winning by more than 20. Almost all have it by 14 or more. FTG 1984 and Catastrophe are Griz fans.

Well, unfortunately, I don't anticipate outstanding QB play, but I DO expect MSU to play very physical
on both sides of the ball and rack up a bunch of first downs and rushing yards.

MSU 38

Debbie Downer: Based on this thread (only 15 MSU fans have made a prediction; four Griz fans) I don’t expect much of a turnout this week. No predictions since Wednesday. This game has the makings of a HUGE program loss.

Everyone is down right now. Seems weird but the last month has 0 wins in regulation. We had the OT win at Poly, loss to Sac, bye, loss at und. Not a very good October.

A solid win this weekend would cure a lot of that.

Actually, if you look at this game a little closer you might be inclined to approach with caution. I think there are probably some folks who have done this and reluctant to put up the score they anticipate, ie, "hope for", given the high level of confidence some have shown.
Southern Utah is an extremely young football team. Take a look at their offensive line. A couple of seniors...the rest all sophomores and freshmen. They are beginning to develop and are by now "believing." They may have been bottom dwellers, but maybe no more. Look at their growth over the previous five games. Cal Poly 21-24. PSU 31-52, Weber State 14-29, Davis 25-33, Idaho State 59-34.
I'm sure the Bobcats are aware of all this and are preparing well.
MSU 26 Southern Utah 19

I predict that regardless of the outcome of this game, I won't have warm fuzzy feelings about the final 3 games on the schedule. Two in a row on the road for a team that has struggled mightily on the road under Coach Choate? And I'm always nervous going into cat/griz (forgive me, I grew up during the streak and didn't experience a bobcat win until I was a college freshman at MSU). Brace yourselves, things may get gnarly...


Eric Curry STILL makes me sad.

We should win this game by at least 14. Anything less would confirm that we are a middle of the pack team this year. I'm hoping we crush these guys, so I'm going with my heart on this one.

Your Montana State Fighting Bobcats = 29
Them = 14


Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

If the Cats don’t win by 30 points or more, I’m gonna be pissed.

Good pick. Didn't you also say no way in hell Cats win by 30? Do you feel pretty dumb right now? :lol:

It's close into the 4th quarter, say 20-14 SUU.
Then we score a late TD to seemingly win the game, but Choate opts to go for 2 which we don't convert.
But then the Cats win in OT 26-20.
That’s cold.

I’ll make usual prediction:
Cats play like they’ve been playing, MSU 20, SUU 16
Cats play like they’re capable, MSU 45, SUU 6
Like I been saying. Don’t beat self. Play defense like you can. The rest will fall in place.

Good call Tom! You and rivercat were both 4 points off.
