Griz host South Dakota State.....
I'm shocked, but I guess I shouldn't be.....
3rd place and host. Hmmmmm
I guess money really does drive the train. I see both sides of this one..... I would be upset if I were from another conference and saw that a third place team gets to host, but then again if you really want to host that bad then you should put more butts in the seats.
Oh well, I'll be rooting for the Griz to represent...yeah, I'm one of those who love the Cats first and the Griz second, (grew up in the diminutive shadow of Dormblazer)

Re: Griz host South Dakota State.....
Hosting in the first round is based on $$ bid, not who the better team is.
The griz could be the last team in on the bubble, and would host.

That is expected. First round is by bid. MSU did same last year for its fans.Norsky19 wrote:I'm shocked, but I guess I shouldn't be.....

I'm pulling for the Griz in this one. Why? Because of my propensity to cheer for winning programs (Mariners, Cowboys, Bobcats).

Re: Griz host South Dakota State.....
Ha! I root for the Bobcats, Broncos, and Braves...I'm in the same leaky canoe as you! I'll probably find myself rooting for PSU though...I just can't root for the GRIZ.Triple C wrote:I'm pulling for the Griz in this one. Why?

I despise the school but admire the athletic department....and there are some Montana boys on that team so I'll pull for them over ANY Dakota school.mslacatfan wrote:FTG! I hope they lose by 30

SDSU, NDSU, and then PSU/UNI
That has to be the most daunting path we've ever faced

Re: Griz host South Dakota State.....
I'd rather have nails driven in my fingers than root for the griz!!!! Hope they get blown out so we can watch the fans empty their stadium early. That being said, remember the last time Missoula hosted sdsu in a playoff game? Sdsu up like 48-10 at halftime and lost

Re: Griz host South Dakota State.....
I am not rooting for the Griz per se. I like to see Montana boys, from any school, do well in post season play.
As far as the SDSU game, if the Griz do win, then they have to head to Fargo. I have a feeling that could cause a number of Griz fans to eat crow from earlier in the season. That would be more entertaining in my mind.

Sdsu is a tough match up for them. They're the type of team they had given the Griz fits this year.
Hats for bats. Keeps bats warm.

Re: Griz host South Dakota State.....
This is how I see it- the further the griz go in the playoffs, with the cats sitting at home, the better chances the griz will be winning the in-state recruiting battle this year. This playoff game(s) has a huge impact on the cats future success or lack there of.GRIZ1STCATS2ND wrote:That's the spirit.mslacatfan wrote:FTG! I hope they lose by 30

No, they've beaten teams with very good defenses (NDSU, ND). But teams with good defenses and a straight ahead power run game have made them look mediocre.77matcat wrote:One with a defense???Jobu wrote:Sdsu is a tough match up for them.

Re: Griz host South Dakota State.....
Right? Look how many people voted to essentially "just beat the griz" in lieu of going to the playoffs. Anybody wanna change there vote now? When I saw the playoffs being announced this morning it sombered me more than yesterday.mslacatfan wrote:This is how I see it- the further the griz go in the playoffs, with the cats sitting at home, the better chances the griz will be winning the in-state recruiting battle this year.

With success comes attention, with attention comes cockiness, with cockiness comes arrogance, with arrogance comes rudeness...and they wonder why I hate the Griz ! FTG
