Pretty sure Rovig isn't in the top 5 reasons why the Cats beat the Griz or played further into the playoffs.

If you think Qb is the only position we need to get better at then you didn’t watch the same game. They are better then us in multiple positions. Bigger, stronger, faster. Yes our QB play needs to be better. A lot better but there are multiple positions that can’t play up to there level. We have a lot of nice pieces but not elite pieces.
Top 4 team..I would say some pieces are elite

Perspective people, and it's hard right now, but this team finished top 4 in the nation, losing to what will be the eventual national champion (again). I said this years ago after another playoff loss, but true today too: every team in the country ends their season with a loss, save one. Congrats to the Bison, here's to next year. Program is in a good place.

Another tough guy, I’m am sitting down there hasn’t been anything to stand up about. Total domination in every phase of the game on to next year.
Exactly..every phase. Not just 1. Team loss. Funny that the biggest tough guy on here says that. All bluster and no bite. Keep talking ****** about a 21 year old kid from you phone, you joke.
Dude. Settle down. It's an opinion (on a fan message board?!) and it isn't even wrong. Today's loss is not solely on Rovig. Not even primarily on him. But it wasn't #12 that took the Cats to the semis... it was the rushing attack and lights-out D. Tucker had his moments and deserves everyone's appreciation. But he isn't going to be QB1 in 2020.

This loss is on the coaching staff. MSU got punched in the mouth five minutes in and completely collapsed. That’s on the dudes in polo shirts, not the dudes in helmets.
We got beat by a team that has won 7 of the last 8 national championships who hasn’t lost a game in 3 years and are bigger, faster, stronger across the board. Belechick could have coached this game and it wouldn’t have made a difference.

Choate won’t even let 12 pass the ball down late in the game. Stop defending Rovig. He’s not starting next year, and if he does, this isn’t a title team.
Question for you and Hiline , what do you actually hope to accomplish with your constant dogging on one player?

It's really not a good look on you.

Great season, no doubt.
Elite? I'd say so. How many teams were left playing today? Oh, yeah. Four. Don't settle, time to keep getting better, but congrats on a fantastic season.

For more perspective, look back at the prediction thread. Lots of people happy there if we'd score 10, 14, 17 against NDSU. We did. But gave up many more than most people expected out of the defense going into the game.

Like I said, time to get better.

O the argument where you can’t say anything about a kid because they are only 21. Give me a break if you can’t take criticism at 21, you will never be able to take criticism. I’m far from tough, matter a fact I’m not sure I could beat myself out of a wet paper sack, but at least I have no problem stating my opinion even if someone like yourself disagrees with me. Calling Rovig bad is being a tough guy? Again don’t let facts get in your way. But keep telling people to shut up and whatever else you say.

On to next year, have a good Christmas. I’m on to cancelling my reservations for Frisco.

I wasn't talking ******, I was wondering why people think a team going for 2 up 20-7 with 10 minutes left in the second quarter is disrespectful. And I see you took patting yourself on the back seriously....is this better?
Hardly anyone thinks that. It’s just a couple people, but your ability to capitalize on that is impressive.
And I asked those specific people why and got attacked, but thanks for chiming in.
Just curious why you didn’t check in during Cat Griz?
I don't check in often at all, and didn't come here to talk ******. I just asked why people were pissed about them going for 2.
Maybe your just a prick trying to ruffle feathers. Seems like the Grizzly thing to do. We don’t get many “Rational” Griz posters.

See Payton Lives lost above. And he is a moderator at Ejizz
Or I was asking a simple question and you want to act like a prick trying to look all tough. Seems like the cataholic thing to do. I wonder how many "Rational" Cat posters there are?
Seems like a lot of Cat posters thought you were being a prick.

So why didn’t you come post during Cat Griz? Funny how you only show up when we are struggling.. but of course, that is just the rational thing to do.
Like I said, I don't post here often at all. I was just curious why people were freaking about them going for 2 at that point in the game. I have never came over here and talked smack.
You knew exactly why anyone would comment on them going for 2. Now you can disagree (as I do) or agree but don't try to convince anyone that you were just curious. Before posting ever again try counting to ten first.
That ought to keep him from posting again He can't possibly be smart enough to count to ten
Haha, I was going to say counting to five, 5, cinco (since its such a significant number for the Griz) however he can, if he can, might do it:)

I know it’s absolutely craziness, I don’t care if your a griz fan or not, it’s obvious we need to get better in that area if we want to go to a title game.

I would take sneed all day over Rovig no question.
There’s something wrong with fans defending their players?
But Rational doesn’t talk smack. Maybe we just misinterpreted
