I think any time any coach uses a "100 times better" line in his situation, you might want to discount the hyperbole just a tad.

It's clear this coach is @ Ft. Lewis for a reason. For anyone to put any stock in how good the Griz might be based on a *cough* game against Ft. Lewis is ludicrous.

Seriously, he's the *cough* Head Coach for Ft. Lewis; do you really consider him an authority on good football teams? Every opponent he faces must look like the Indianapolis Colts to him...

I'm sure the Griz will lose no more than 2 Big Sky games, potentially host 3 playoff games, and advance to at least the quarterfinals; to state that this edition of the Griz is that much better than in 05 is pretty meaningless after only 2 scrimmages, I mean games...

What conference is Ft. Lewis in? Oh yeah, the same one a team from hung one on the Cats after a big win over Colorado. Make no mistake about it, Ft. Lewis isn't in the same class and I wasn't all that happy about playing them. But our players don't choose who they play, but they can choose how they play. The Ft. Lewis coach has been around the block a few times, so maybe his opinion is valid.

Didn't say he was right, just that I find it interesting.

I hear he also said the Griz O-line is "ginormously huge"!

They are, but it remains to be seen if that equal ginormously good.
