It looks like NAU may have the most favorable schedule this year in the Big Sky. If they can somehow put together some late scoring drives to go along with their ground control game they might be in the hunt. Having the O-line in place gives them a solid foundation to start with. What If that Freshman RB the Cats were going after ends up being a highly productive every down RB for them? Will that be enough with their schedule to make them a playoff team?

NAU played UM last year, beat them, and ended up with a better conference record, yet the Griz were seeded in the playoffs over NAU. It doesn't matter if NAU misses the Griz, since beating them last year didn't mean anything in terms of the postseason.

Yeah, it sucks for NAU. But if you think about it, having all those UM homers on the playoff committee had to have helped the Big Sky get four into playoffs.

I just like the Griz fans (and Jobu's) rationale for why UM should have been seeded over NAU. Look, at least admit that the NCAA wanted a large playoff crowd at a UM home game for revenue. I have to think that the -15 degree windchill, as well as the Griz players idiotically deciding not to stay warm on the sidelines, was a bit karmic as Coastal Caroline, or whoever it was, beat them in Missoula.

I just like that Bobcat fans aren't obsessed with it and have moved forward.

You mean like how griz fans are "over" the cats missing the playoffs, their inability to make the semis recently, and The Streak? Ya, good call... :roll:

Griz fans are the epitome of a fan base that lives in the past.

PapaG was reading a thread about BSC pre-season rankings and decided to use the search button to discover Jobu's opinions on last year's playoff seedings? That seems kinda odd doesn't it?

Hope springs eternal! :D

The only thing I didn't understand about the league predictions is Idaho State finishing higher than last place.

A poster brought up NAU missing UM. Last year, beating UM didn't matter for NAU, so I don't think missing them is a big deal.

I don't dislike anybody on this board. Seems weird to me that I'd be disliked, since I'm as big of a Bobcat homer as anybody here. If you're talking about the "x-cat" thread where he bashed his MSU experience, I'd still like to know who that guy is.
How the eff do you remember what I said about that?? I don't even remember what i said about that. Me thinks you have some issues....
You typically take the Griz side of things when a "fellow" Bobcat fan brings up UM in even a little bit of a negative light. It's easy to remember. What are your issues that lead to you reflexively taking the side of UM?

Wrong, I remember what he posted. If that means I have "issues," then there are worse issues to have than a great memory.
