MSU vs. UT-Martinsecond round game prediction thread

[mslacatfan]

I think we are probably in for another drubbing from Missouri State. I think those two road games at Eastern and Weber were extremely hard on this team. The two last games with Idaho and Montana were also very physical. This team doesn't have the stamina to keep playing these hard games. I think they have mentally packed it up for the year. College football is an extremely hard season and few can stay mentally focused late in November and especially December.

Can’t tell if u are being sarcastic or not.....

But I think guys like TA, amandre, hardy, benson, oreilly, Webb, ifanse, Kidd, Taylor T, Lance (just to name a few off the top of my head) would adamantly disagree with you.

As would I. Way to May bandwagon fans here that jumping ship as soon as we lose one difficult game on the road.

Whose jumping ship. I'm quite sure I've been supporting this team way longer than most on here. I'm just making an observation. Div I college football is a grind. Mental fatigue is a part of the season and players can suffer from it whether they want to or not. I'm not ripping on anyone.. I hope I am wrong of course.

We will find out of course we play on Saturday. Should be Missouri state. I think we’re gonna need to score in the 30s to win, barring being +2 or three in the turnover margin

If that's the case then we're in big trouble. Have we scored in the 30s in any game all year, other than the 2 Pioneer league teams?

But I highly doubt any opponent is going to score 30+ in Bozeman on our defense, so I think you're wrong about that.

Seataccat is doing his best Bennet Brauer imitation

Teams also suffer when they're:
"On long winning streaks"
"Playing weak opponents"
"Have a big game coming up"
"Are coming off a win over a good opponent"
Are coming off a loss over a good opponent"
"Having internal issues"
"Are ranked high"
"Not camera friendly"
"Don't own a toothbrush"
"Can't reach all their body parts"
"Don't let their scabs heal"

I predict the Bears vs the Cats for an opportunity to play the Bearkats.

Not to mention Eastern scored 20 on us and Shelley is a not as good clone of EB3.

Have we been playing more football than anyone else? I’d be very concerned if we’re suffering from any kind of fatigue after the season we’ve had so far.

Listen, I hope I am wrong and I probably am. But people have different capacities for handling mental stress. Some teams handle it well during a long season and some don't. I think the bobcats have better athletes than Idaho and the Griz, but may have less capacity for enduring the mental stress.

This is just as viable as blaming the OC. The season ends on a down note for all but one team every year. When it does there is always a variety of explanations. Some more clear-cut than others.

Yes, I completely agree. Every game is a different matchup. Every player is a unique individual and every team has a different collective attitude.
My observation is probably way off. I have no inside or first hand information to really make an informed opinion. It's just my uninformed opinion. However, I don't think Idaho or the griz have better athletes on their team than what the cats have. Those two games screamed mental fatigue to me. They were on the heels of two really hard road games. At this point of the season a players ability to focus and play at a high level is between the ears and is extremely hard to maintain. I apologize for my earlier wording of packing it in. Just hoping that a week off can help.

The week off is definitely going to help. A lot of players don't go home, but they do go to fellow players homes who live in Montana for Thanksgiving.
It really matters as they get time amongst themselves free of the practice field and coaches. Its a needed break from the stress, one that they most all relish.
They will come out next week with a fresh start to a new season and we will see it on the field. Have faith SEATAC, stay positive..."What's with the negative waves Moriarty? " Oddball, Kellys Heroes.
