Who cares about the gris? After today, I'd love to see another Cat-gris game in the playoffs.
They looked better with the back up. He might ignite them a bit. It wouldn’t be as easy the second time but I still think we would beat them again

If there is a rematch do we get to put two games on the trophy after we win again?
We weren't even trying when Britt went in.

Take a look at who was playing on MSU's D when their back up was in. It was garbage time with 8-9 minutes left in the game at that point.


Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I understand that. However the backup looked like he had better control of the offense

I don't give a crap if um gets in or not. Once Cat griz is over, all I care about is MSU!

I still think they’re a top 24 FCS team.

They were overrated early, no doubt about it. But I believe they would have wins @WEB and @SAC if not for Kris Brown.

Now that’s on them for not having a better backup, or playing the better backup, but the reality remains that they are almost certainly a good enough team to warrant the playoffs.

I definitely disagree.

Basically, he was breaking contain and scrambling against prevent defense, which was populated by backups.

ditto, I think if Vigen would have wanted to prevent them from scoring he would have. I think he is too classy and just let them have another td. I seriously doubt booby would have done the same.

To me he had a better “twitch”. But I’m not going to argue against you. The Cats would still win, we absolutely dominated today. I had feelings of 2019 all over again but this time I did not expect it

Only way gris get in is if UC Davis lose in my option but ultimately I don’t care. The Cats get a top three seed host at least two games and played our most complete game of the year. Peaking in late November and December. Great time to be a Bobcat

And class side, you’re just not concerned with a QB scrambling for first downs in that situation. If to they want to nickel and dime their way down the field, down 6 scores, with minutes left… whatever.

Does nobody look at my resume break downs when I post my bracket??? :lol:

Even with loses, teams like Delaware and Chattanooga still have better resumes than UM. As do UND, Idaho, Eastern Kentucky and more. I will be posting my final bracket sometime tonight with all the goods.

Their whole premise was that they didn't have Lucas so those loses don't count. Well, you had him today and got curb stomped.
Don't know any fans who are saying that they don't count. There is also the problem that our whole offense revolves around having a healthy LJ, which today we did not have. Whether he was healthy or not today would not make a difference as you probably noticed. If our coaching staff believed in Britt I believe we could be 9-1, with the loss coming today against you guys.

Why not Cal Davis even after a close loss to Sac? Somebody from the MVFC got in (Northern Iowa?) last year at 6-5. And UCD is 5-3 in the Big Sky with a road win over Idaho. One of their losses is to Power 5 Cal, and they lost by two at South Dakota State. Thats a better resume than the frizz.

You’ve never seen Britt play non-garbage time minutes, and I don’t think he’s ever played against starters. He’s slippery, but also noticeably tiny. He can’t be much worse than Brown, but saying he’d lead you to wins against top teams is pretty bold too.

Both Craig Haley and Sam herder have them out as of this morning, and not as the first team out either.

I think this is a spot-on take. It was UNI. Davis is more deserving of a bid than UM. Which of the 7 makes the griz more deserving than Davis, the one over NW state? Indiana state? South Dakota? No way are the griz deserving of a bid.

How bout we look at it this way..........

IF the gris make the playoffs, then there should only be 16 teams in the playoffs. Cuz if a team with the gris's resume can make the playoffs, what's the point.

agree. fizz wins are against teams that have a 14-40 combined record and 7-25 in conference I guess if they get in it pays to play low level teams your first 3 games to pad the record...I the selection committee has any moral compass there is not way they get in.
