Re: No way the Griz should be in the playoffs
Real fans in a half-empty stadium boo their own team when they’re struggling on national TV. That was absolutely pathetic (yet hilarious) and so indicative of what a bunch of front-runners you losers are in Missoula as a fanbase.
This clown is one of the worst posters in the egris cesspool and seems to have forgotten already about the 459 yards rushing the Bobcats rolled up on duMb last weekend.

Re: No way the Griz should be in the playoffs
Just a lot of holding an pi not called. Or the punch by hauck well after the play was over on the running back on the one yard line just before half.justafan wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 10:37 amamen. how can they keep getting away with late hits and holding and pass interference that get called on the opposing teams?

Re: No way the Griz should be in the playoffs
What's sad is the BSC and the NCAA just accept whatever stats um reports and doesn't question anything. No professional skepticism whatsoever. As near as I can tell, there's no process to verify what's reported. As a pro accountant and auditor, this would be negligence if I accepted what someone told me. Yes, we have millions in cash and assets and no debt. Take our word for it. No more questions.
According to Choate when he was here, our own analysts counted his tackles when watching film and came up with a much lower number.

Re: No way the Griz should be in the playoffs
I completely agree. The gris were handed another victory by the refs. Is there anyone we can contact to get this looked at? Maybe a federal judge or something. This is a systemic issue that needs to be reviewed. There may be some back door cronyism at foot. I think the federal judge would also be very interested in looking at possible assault charges on rob hauck too.Montanabob wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 10:51 amJust a lot of holding an pi not called.

Re: No way the Griz should be in the playoffs
I checked once, his away game stats are pretty similar. He’s in on a lot of plays. The Gris are just very generous with how many people get an assisted tackle on each play.Cledus wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 11:22 amWhat's sad is the BSC and the NCAA just accept whatever stats um reports and doesn't question anything.

Re: No way the Griz should be in the playoffs
Still living in the past huh? You all are the ones over here talking about the Griz when you aren't even playing us… Did you guys storm the field yesterday and chant your ESG-GCG song? I know some of y'all have nothing better to do than to root against the Griz, I think some of you prioritize that over rooting for your own team… Pretty sad if you ask me.
For all of you non-whiny, non-bitter cat fans, I wish you and your team luck against Weber. For all of you who can't seem to get the Griz out of your minds, suck it

I wasn't at the stadium but I don't think they were booing the players, they were booing the poor play calling, the poor coaching, and calling for Britt to take over as QB.PapaG wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 10:39 amReal fans in a half-empty stadium boo their own team when they’re struggling on national TV.

And as for the half-empty stadium, every first round playoff game on Thanksgiving weekend is like that. I'm sure we had the largest crowd out of all of the playoff games though so go take your pompous attitude and shove it up your ass

Re: No way the Griz should be in the playoffs
On Egriz BWhalberg said the announced crowd was 22,000 but he estimates it to be more around the 12-13k mark which is still very good for the Thanksgiving week playoff games.Fahque wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 1:14 pmI wasn't at the stadium but I don't think they were booing the players, they were booing the poor play calling, the poor coaching, and calling for Britt to take over as QB.PapaG wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 10:39 amReal fans in a half-empty stadium boo their own team when they’re struggling on national TV.

He also confirms that alot of the booing was frustration with bad offensive play calling and wanting to put Britt in (which I don't blame them since Johnson did not look good in the first half, and not 100% over the whole game except for 1 run).
Overall I'm glad you all were able to pull it out against a pretty solid SEMO team and wish yall the best against NDSU. Also hope you realize that the majority of Cat fans aren't like some of the jackasses posting here, end of the day I want both schools to do well. Still feels great we thumped yall though ngl.

Re: No way the Griz should be in the playoffs
Nah, I'm glad you all follow the Griz, I just like to poke fun at the few cat fans who have nothing better to do then trash us and root against us no matter who we are playing. Like the poster above said, I hope both teams do well when they aren't playing each other and I always root for Montana kids… We all had high expectations for this season but when our coaching staff fails to utilize the talent we do have or even utilize that talent to its fullest potential and continue to try to shove a square peg through a round hole we get what we got. Bottom line is we are moving on and although it is not likely to happen, I hope we meet again in FriscoND0479 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 1:36 pmThe gris just had their first and only good win of the season and you come to the Cats message board to chirp Cat fans for talking about the gris?
