Really impressed with how our play calling has advanced in the past two weeks… month… last 12 games. I’m sure it all has to do with limitations on the OL.

Now I’m wondering if MM isn’t just a sly fox who smells rotten eggs in the henhouse. I would want to play for this offense either.
Not sure if you're watching the same game I am? I see a much more dynamic offense that actually has the ability to move the ball against a pretty good defense. The wind isn't helping much but TM is making some nice reads.

What???? I’ve noticed a lot more diversity in the Offense today. But maybe I just have my blue and gold glasses on.


Some people are a lot like slinkies....... Not really good for much, but it puts a smile on your face to watch them fall down a set of stairs.

I hate giving a score up before half.

The Cats may win today but our offense is not going to take us any further. The offense looks a little better with Mellot at QB but the play calling is still not good. Housewright needs to go after this season. Also, we just lack the swagger and intensity we played with under Choate. The Griz seemed to have it back. It is an important ingredient when you get into the playoffs. Looking for a better second half!!

UTM does not have a good D.

If the wind wasn't blowing so hard probably would be even more.

As the leader of the Anti-Houseright brigade, I agree. Playcalling is much better today. A lot of sideline to sideline and short to intermediate passes. I’m pretty pleased overall. Just need to finish some drives!

UIW is only down by 3 in the 3rd. Cats better get with it 2nd half.

It’s his first start, looks pretty decent so far. Give it some time

I don’t see any “juice” on the MSU sidelines, the players aren’t looking to be “amped”. One of the great qualities of Choate teams was the energy, they just LOOKED like they couldn’t wait to get hands on you! Maybe it looks different at the stadium today than it does on TV?

We are 3-12 in passing for 15 or so yards. Yes. More variety but not getting us anywhere. Utm blitzing like griz. No time to pass. Most passes too low. Run game good. Really have not stopped us until we decide to pass 2 or 3 times. Times. But understand have to mix it up. Anyones game from where we are sitting. Just one pass by Winn. He is actually on target most of the time. Btw I am sitting at the 50

Yeah I’m watching the game. Y’all blaming execution then? Late implementation? Or… just the wind?

Let me know where to refocus my indignation.

How does the crowd look?

It’s not a sellout, but pretty dang close. Huge crowd.

Crowd is so flat. Weird feel to the stadium today.

Tre Webb was limping pretty bad going into the locker room. Back out with the team but warming up yet.

We are completing 33% of our passes they’re completing 43% of their passes. Nobody’s really lighting it up.

More Ifanse please.


Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

It sounds like a morgue on TV.

Even the short passes are off. Yikes


griz fans; keeping it classy and gracious in winning since ... well, never.
