Rather than bragging, I just proved you wrong. You said the stadium in Missoula will be half full based on recent 2nd Round games played in Missoula. I asked you what games and what attendance figures, and you came up with nothing. Then you raised the issue of a 12,749-attendance game, and all I said was it was a 1st Round game on a Thanksgiving weekend. You are the attendance predictor, not me. Unless you want to correct yourself, you are on record above saying under 13,000 in Missoula on Saturday. I bet you will be wrong again.ClowderUp wrote: ↑Tue Dec 02, 2025 10:08 pmBragging about 12k?

Re: SDSU or frizzlies?
Too cowardly to take the bet. Soft. Just like the play by the gris in the trenches on the 22nd.

Don't get me wrong though. I'm still hoping the soft and weak gris show up to Bozeman on Dec 20. The Cats will be a nice round 8 of the last 10 in this series.

Well, there was a 2nd Round game in Missoula against Delaware on Dec. 2, 2023, when the attendance was over 20,000 but not sold out. I don’t view that as “only half full.”D-Wreck wrote: ↑Tue Dec 02, 2025 10:13 pmI'm bored.

Re: SDSU or frizzlies?
OK, here’s the parameter. Clowder posted that there have been multiple recent 2nd Round playoff games in Missoula when the stadium was only half full. I was curious to know when. He wouldn’t answer. So that’s what you’re searching for: 2nd Round games in Missoula with attendance no more than 13,000. There was definitely a Thanksgiving 1st Round game when attendance was only 12,749. Give us the rundown on 2nd round games.D-Wreck wrote: ↑Tue Dec 02, 2025 10:32 pmYou didn't answer my questions.

Where did I say the Cats won’t get to 12K on Saturday? I expect the Cats to top 20K. I challenge you to show us where I said the Cats won’t reach 12K, you absolute fool. Now, YOU said the Griz won’t fill more than half the stadium. I’ll take that bet.

Re: SDSU or frizzlies?
This is the dumbest sh!t. Old is not PR. You can tell by the way he writes. I've caught in to PR everytime he comes over here because his writing style is very distinct. And you two keep talking in circles and Old is taking the bait. And when PR tries to hide it his writing comes off as very awkward.
Noone gets a ton of people for 1st round games in relation to their capacity. 1st round not 2nd. We all like to brag here about how the one game we had 11k for was the loudest the stadium has ever been. That was UNH if I rememeber when we won when they clanged the upright on a field goal to tie it as time expired.
The griz will make 18k Saturday. I'll bet on that. I do think its funny they have seats available still but then they still had available seats for Cat/gris the week before the game. When does that ever happen?I hope SDSU buys a ton of those available and shows up en force. We know they travel well. I mean shoot they showed up to Gold Rush and bought up the whole grass parking lot by the Museum and saved it for their fans and then had it to themselves to tailgate. I talked to people that always park there that were not happy.
Are we done now?

Or the field goal block that went straight out of bounds. Could have just as easily bounced into the hands of a Cat for an easy touchdown.Catsrgrood wrote: ↑Tue Dec 02, 2025 2:56 pmAnd if we recover the fumble on the opening kickoff in the second half we probably score 2 plays later and go up by 10 and it’s likely a different game from that point forward.
There are a lot of what ifs. That’s sports.
I’ve heard many people (mainly griz fans) point to Davis’s fumble we were “lucky” to recover, while completely disregarding Wortham’s fumble that he was lucky to recover and Gillmans fumble on the huge hit that went straight out of bounds. Those both would have swung that game in the other direction at those moments if they go the other way.
The “luck” wasn’t just one way that day, despite what the narrative seems to be.

Re: SDSU or frizzlies?
Well the Cats are a MUCH different team than they were three months ago when they lost to SDSU. I think SDSU is better than the griz so I could see them winning that game and I'd love another crack at them.
I could also see the griz winning because they have shown they are very tough to beat at home in the playoffs. If that happened and they won another at home and we do the same I would love that matchup. Why? Because we played average football 2 weeks ago and won in their mecca. Because the griz haven't won in Bozeman in a decade. And in those losses they have been blown out. I think the better question would be why would we NOT be confident if we got Missoula again?
And I'm not buying this silly narrative that the entire game was won on a pick and a blocked field goal. We could do that for the griz too right? What about their fumble that came right back to them. Like it's a flukey thing that we got an interception or that we blocked a field goal. Those are plays good teams make. I could list 50 other plays that contributed to us winning that game as well.
If we get the griz back in Bozeman i'm betting we are favored by about 10 and we'll win by more than that. Even though for some reason there are griz fans thinking we should be scared of a rematch in a place they haven't won forever.

Re: SDSU or frizzlies?
My guess is that most of griz nation doesn't even know about that fumble, as it was the 1st play of the 3rd quarter and half their crowd wasn't back in the stadium yet.Catsrgrood wrote: ↑Tue Dec 02, 2025 2:56 pmAnd if we recover the fumble on the opening kickoff in the second half we probably score 2 plays later and go up by 10 and it’s likely a different game from that point forward.
There are a lot of what ifs. That’s sports.
I’ve heard many people (mainly griz fans) point to Davis’s fumble we were “lucky” to recover, while completely disregarding Wortham’s fumble that he was lucky to recover and Gillmans fumble on the huge hit that went straight out of bounds. Those both would have swung that game in the other direction at those moments if they go the other way.
The “luck” wasn’t just one way that day, despite what the narrative seems to be.

Re: SDSU or frizzlies?
Sort of making my point. Each team had some breaks at times where other team could have snatched control of the game. I thought late Griz could not stop Cats O. But, that last drive of 2nd and first of the 3rd Griz converted a lot to stay on field and score. I just don't see SDSU rolling them and Cats have to play better to blow them out. Both things are possible.ilovethecats wrote: ↑Wed Dec 03, 2025 11:06 amWell the Cats are a MUCH different team than they were three months ago when they lost to SDSU. I think SDSU is better than the griz so I could see them winning that game and I'd love another crack at them.
I could also see the griz winning because they have shown they are very tough to beat at home in the playoffs. If that happened and they won another at home and we do the same I would love that matchup. Why? Because we played average football 2 weeks ago and won in their mecca. Because the griz haven't won in Bozeman in a decade. And in those losses they have been blown out. I think the better question would be why would we NOT be confident if we got Missoula again?
And I'm not buying this silly narrative that the entire game was won on a pick and a blocked field goal. We could do that for the griz too right? What about their fumble that came right back to them. Like it's a flukey thing that we got an interception or that we blocked a field goal. Those are plays good teams make. I could list 50 other plays that contributed to us winning that game as well.
If we get the griz back in Bozeman i'm betting we are favored by about 10 and we'll win by more than that. Even though for some reason there are griz fans thinking we should be scared of a rematch in a place they haven't won forever.![]()

Re: SDSU or frizzlies?
They played an inspired, physical game that day, egged on by a loud, energetic crowd. It was the best and most physical I've seen them all year. We handled the environment well but I thought played a B- type game. Didn't tackle well, missed some big play opportunities, etc. I don't think they can put another effort like that together in Bozeman. I think we win that hypothetical by 2 TDs minimum.tetoncat wrote: ↑Wed Dec 03, 2025 12:23 pmSort of making my point.

As for SDSU... this feels like an opportunity for Big Game Bobby to go conservative. Good team coming in, physical mismatch, bad weather. I think they're down 14-0 before people even sit down, and will have to battle back against a team that can beat them up front. I think sdsu wins 34-24, something like that.
