MSU vs NDSU predictions

NDSU 24
MSU 14

I really want to say 52-10 Cats, but reality is this will be a tough, tight game.
Cats 17
Bizon 10
I've been thinking about a comment Bobby made before last weekend's game about why it's hard to beat a team twice. His comment was essentially that when you're coaching 18-22 year old "kids" they have their own ideas and don't always listen. I can't help but think that the Bizon have this history, this legacy, and they all know it. As much as a coach can be humble and say all the right things about being prepared, focusing on the game, putting forth a team effort, not getting too cocky, blah, blah, blah, young guys, full of testosterone and a winning history, maybe get really arrogant and stupid. Partially from pride, partially from desperation to not be the team that loses the streak. I feel like their immaturity will be exposed by the Cats tomorrow. We have nothing to lose in comparison. I mean we do, but we don't, ya know? Teams that are motivated, hungry, and aren't "defending" anything are pretty dangerous. It'll be close, but I really feel the Cats are going to be the giant killers tomorrow.

So Bobby blamed his players yet again for not listening to their coaches because they are immature children? So Bobby. He’s worse than his first go-around at UM.

Ok, I don't ordinarily do this, but the Cats win 17 - 14 on a Rovig to Travis Jonsen TD with 1:33 left on the clock. Defense wins championships!!!!

Ok i'll bite. This one scares me. Honestly I'm with PapaG. As someone who grew up during the 90's I expect the Cat's to break my heart. I expected the Cat's, as typical in a must win, lose at UC Davis. I expected the white hot griz to boat race us, I had confidence against Albany but was cautious vs AP. This team is different. Over the last 2 months every time they could do the typical Bobcat thing and snatch defeat from the jaws victory, they dominate and win. so.....
MSU 27

So how does the game look for the griz this weekend...

[ilovethecats]

You guys are all looking way too much into history. It means nothing. North Dakota is who they are. A team who’s had a great run.

But their success 7 years ago, 5 years ago, 3 years ago, last year means nothing. Their team this year? Seems to be good. But it’s just this years team!

Cats win this one. Probably closer than I like but they win. And North Dakota’s amazing run is no more relevant than the griz run 20 years ago!

Does playing with yourself count as a game?

I predict I wake up at 3 AM and can't go back to sleep.

You got that one right. Is is game time yet?

Their offense has lagged lately, but NDSU is playing defense at a high level still.

If MSU plays up to its capabilities on defense: MSU 13, NDSU 10

If MSU shoots itself in the foot: NDSU 26, MSU 10

Ahhh. If only we were playing North Dakota... I feel like we would probably blow them out this time around.

[CPrice91]

Ughh, I think the Cats would win by 2 TDs if it was in Bozeman. Still really worrying me that it's in Fargo. Defense won't have the same advantage, offense will be harder to operate....

Going to get more nervous the closer we get..
