This isn’t pathetic. We are gonna come back. This team went 15-0. Some arrogant people here act like they are owed victories. Spoiled.
Agreed. We handled USD pretty easily. NDSU isn’t any better than the Yotes.

They’ve just game planned better & out executed.

What makes you think that? We can run block but not pass protect. Defense has no answers. Honestly what makes you feel that way. I don't see it in any way
I’m a Cat fan who lived thru the streak and I love our team. I’m not giving up until it’s truly over. Our pass blocking needs to improve. Tommy is going to have to throw it around a bit to pull this off but we have plenty of one on one opportunities and I think we will capitalize. Either way, dream season and I’m going to appreciate it no matter what.

No one is ‘owed’ a victory. We are owed a team that can match the play of the top Dakota teams. It took them how long to become a dynasty compared to the Montana schools? Trying each year to equip ourselves to match the play of a DSU team and each year falling short, well something is missing and something needs to change as with our resources and let’s be honest, the college itself, we should be in the driver seat every year.

I love your optimism and enthusiasm! I just am basing this off of our history.
Entitled. This is the golden age. Maybe you are 20 years old and haven’t experienced the misery older Cat fans have.

The scoreboard would indicate otherwise unfortunately.

I’d never say it’s pathetic. Didn’t see that post but pointing out their lines are both better than ours so far really can’t be debated. That’s been the story of the game.

Have to somehow get a passing game going.


Seattle to Billings to Missoula to Bozeman to Portland to Billings

What a ride

Our run blocking has been fine. Agree Pass pro hasn’t been good enough.

Scottre was so close to a TD on that play. That could’ve been huge. Need a better push on the line.

Gotta put Tommy on the move with the call to throw first, run second.
Tommy has had several plays where he had wide open receivers downfield and chose to run it. I get it, he's got a tough job, and the O-line isn't giving him any time to think, but he's got to start looking downfield and getting rid of the ball. Otherwise? 15-1.

Or maybe I am not a 20 year old who was an athlete for the Cats and can call a spade a spade. So no, not entitled, just someone who has been there.

What if that conversion ends up being the key play of the game

Do they drug test these kids prior to games? Just curious.

I don’t even know what targeting is anymore. That wasn’t blatant….

That's ****** ******. That's a TD


Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.
