Re: Cats drop to 10th in latest poll
Obviously the plan was for both teams to stay out of the endzone. In that case, it was an utter failure

As you can see neither team has what could be called a 'quality' win as yet (although UCA could be a playoff team in the end???). The toughest part of both our and um's schedule is yet to come. Polls even halfway through the season can certainly be misleading....remember last year.
I like our chances against CP because our run defense performed great against Weber and we have 2 weeks to prepare. I like our chances against um because they haven't shown anything special yet. I just hope we can handle 'the big human' and company when they come to town. But as always, the most important game is the next game.
I think (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) but the entire big sky conference only has 1 win against a non-conference team with a winning record, and that was UND beating Stoney Brook.

Re: Cats drop to 10th in latest poll
Yes, ive heard of bend, but don't break and I've heard of teams trying to hold teams to FGs, but never heard anyone describe that as letting teams kick FGs. Sounds like sunting a wittle kid wuld say.BadlandsGrizFan wrote:If you've really never heard of that you really are a fool and its no wonder the Cats are the joke that they are....you ever heard of the bend but don't break approach?[cat_bracket] wrote:I love it!!

Hopefully Cal Poly gives the Griz their spanking and sends them home, That would hopefully keep the Griz fans quiet around here for awhile.
Great time to be a BOBCAT!

Yeah, maybe a day or two. They never seem to stay quiet for long.....catatac wrote:Hopefully Cal Poly gives the Griz their spanking and sends them home, That would hopefully keep the Griz fans quiet around here for awhile.

The butt of many many jokes no matter what their record. So many of their fans just earn that butt year after year.Hawks86 wrote:If the Cats are 4-0 in conference and are a joke. What does that make the griz?
If you're looking for someone with a little authority, I'm your man. I have as little as anyone!

Re: Cats drop to 10th in latest poll
Well, Well, Well. The "self anointed" great defense of the Griz was just taken to the woodshed and spanked. Exposed in a big way. The Griz gave up 420 yards to a team that averages 333! Did you realize the Griz are rated 5th in the BSC in Rushing Defense, behind EWU and MSU?BadlandsGrizFan wrote:I don't think half of AGS are picking the Griz to lose 3 more games tho....just wishful thinking...its the same every year...you guys sit over here and go ohh that games gonna get the Griz..ohhh that games gonna be tough..theyll get beat....every game is tough in the BSC...and usually when the Griz come to town that is that teams toughest game of the year.
Here is something the Griz should not be cheering about, a win by NAU. I loss by NAU was more beneficial, as it gets them out of the mix. One less team to worry about.
I might have been a little optimistic when I thought the Griz would win 1 more game in the last 5. With what I saw today, any high power, balanced offense, is going to walk over you.
Where would the Griz be if they had to play NAU, and ISU?

Re: Cats drop to 10th in latest poll
Bye week was good to the Cats. They will probably move to no. 8 and are in first in the BSC. At this rate someone might win a BSC POW award.
