other than Whalberg's scouting report there is absolutely no awareness of reality, they just take it as a given since they won big over Weber that they will bin big over MSU, I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be a very fun day.
I never bet on this game, but I couldn't turn it down when a co-worker was giving me 14 points

Re: MSU vs DumB predictions
the problem with those stats is... you guys played the bottom of the barrel of the conference. SUU, NCU, CP,. Sorry but the stats don't really matter when the two teams have only a couple common opponents. Not talking ****** just being realistic. I expect a great game.

Re: MSU vs DumB predictions
That's my only take from this week honestly. I think it's going to be a hard-fought game that the Griz could most certainly win.cats2506 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 10:42 amSo I have been pretty busy this week and finally had a chance to go over to efizz and see what they are saying.iaafan wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 10:14 amLooks like three out of four.

Reading this board people are hoping and predicting for a close win. Not sure I've even seen a prediction of a 10 point win but maybe there were some?
Egriz, per usual, is just the opposite. A couple guys are saying it might be a close hard-fought game. The majority are predicting huge blowouts. At one time there was only one prediction of a "close" game and it was still a 10 point win I believe.
I said earlier I could only HOPE that their team is as cocky and over-confident as their message board fanbase! But they won't be. Hauck will have them focused and our Cats will have their full attention for sure.

Stats are fun for us fans for sure. But people are correct when they say in this game, you can pretty much throw them all out the window. I've seen way to many of these games not follow the trend of season-long stats to put much credence in any of them. Typically the team that's most physical, and turns the ball over less wins.

Agreed! may the best team win. Proud to be a Montanan either way and take part in this amazing tradition. All my friends are cat fans, we've been throwing trash talk around all in good fun. I apologize in advance for idiot Griz fans, and I forgive idiot cat fans in advance as well. some people take it way too far. Going to be the first time in 10 years I'll miss the game.

Re: MSU vs DumB predictions
You too man. It should be a great game. No need to apologize for fans. Every base has them. I'm more annoyed at the ones that act like the stupid crap doesn't happen everywhere. I already know there will be posts tomorrow or Sunday talking about how poorly they were treated in Bozeman. It sucks but it doesn't reflect on everyone.hilinegrizfan wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 11:07 amAgreed! may the best team win. Proud to be a Montanan either way and take part in this amazing tradition.

SEMO = Monmouth (Both of these teams play in bad conferences. Monmouth is getting the AB while SEMO beat SIU who might make the playoffs from the MVFC)

UCD = UCD
UO = TT (obviously UO has had a better season but the gap wasn't really all that far at the beginning and FBS vs FCS doesn't really tell us much)
So obviously Weber is the one game that we can't match. I will give you a ton of credit for that game but we all know that wasn't a typical Weber game especially given how easily they beat SAC. I'm not making the argument that we have played as well as the Griz, I'm arguing that stats are relevant because the gap in our schedules isn't as much as some would make it sound.

Re: MSU vs DumB predictions
putting an = sign in between teams doesn't make it so. also you can't just say it wasn't a typical weber game given how easily they beat SAC. If that was valid I could say our game vs Sac wasn't typical griz given how easily we beat weber. I'm simply saying that stats aren't relevant to this game. who beat who by how much is also irrelevant. specifically for this game.technoCat wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 11:28 amEWU = UND (EWU beat UND but is staying home while UND still has a shot at the playoffs)hilinegrizfan wrote: ↑Fri Nov 22, 2019 10:55 amthe problem with those stats is... you guys played the bottom of the barrel of the conference.

Is the other teams run defense really that good? Or is it they have not played in close games causing other teams to pass? Would that not make certain stats be jaded? Asking for a friend.

Re: MSU vs DumB predictions
Give the jizz credit for their win ove Weber last week. But what few realize is that Weber lost 3 of their best players in the 1st qtr of the game. The loss of these key Weber players was the primary reason for the lopsided score.

Re: MSU vs DumB predictions
It pains me to say this as I hate everything about Missoula...especially their Community College, but...
47-17 Griz.
Perhaps if everything clicks just right, everyone plays perfectly, and Choate stops with the cutesy rotating QB thing that is so obvious a middle school opponent could sniff it out, we stand a chance of keeping it close, but I don't see it. I expect we'll play this game like every other one and get beaten soundly.
Sorry, but we lose today. Big.
I hope I'm wrong, and I'll be cheering them on as usual.
