Hope the team has a more positive attitude than the folks posting here. It would put a tooth-glittering smile on my face if you made the Eagles scream in dismay. With the right set of mind I think you have a shot.

I thought you guys were going to kick butt this year but, cripes, now you have both of your own cheeks bruised. It can only go upward from here.

A rotten deal for the player and the team. Hope he heals well and on time.

You guys had a good season, sorry you didn't make it to the next tier.

Congratulations on a fine season. Hope you guys run deep in the playoffs.

Congratulations, nice win.

Go get 'em. Hope we meet in the playoffs.

I will probably be taken as a smart ass here, but I don't mean it that way... You guys should start a series with MSU. It should be called the "BRAWL OF THE PRAIRIE" - much more permanent than any boom. The trophy should be a large bronze meadow muffin, an apt counterpoint to the pile o'!@#$ trophy great divide between MSU & UM. This is where that smart ass factor comes into play, but really, there can be a competitive factor and a sense of humor at the same time - have you looked at the UM/MSU trophy !? On other notes, while counting your 2016 chickens, watch out for Cal Poly. And, while some UM fans feel you guys play dirty, I think that is a hangover from what ZooTowners felt were some cheap shots a number of years ago. The Griz fans I hang out with see you guys as a program on the rise. I want to see a Big Sky with a high level of play across the board, and one of us being the division champs every year.

Yes, Ash canned.

You guys got hosed.

You guys have gotten no respect all season. Hope you tromp Poly and make the playoffs (along with the Griz) .

If you guys can run up our gut the way Weber did, you have a good shot. If we can pass at will, you are screwed. I expect some mix of those two possibilities. Ain't football fun?

Nice win! Big sky is looking good!

Congratulations on a big win. You folks have had some tough breaks in recent times. I'm happy for you.

"No way he was celebrating that the player was hurt - not that kinda player and not that kinda team." Watch the repay. Who is writhing, who is high fiving? I'm not saying this typical of your program, but it happened.

I never said it was a cheap shot. I just think high fives while a player is writhing on the ground and you just got flagged for it shows no class.

The game went as I expected - D v/s D with the outcome decided by a few quirky plays and the way the refs called the game. I noticed 3 things: 1) You guys really do have a really good D. 2) Big sky refs are bad enough that it may well have effected the outcome (either way). 3) # 51 celebrating after being called on a personal foul where one of the opposition's key players was injured was totally classless.

UND can take them.

I think you guys are beating yourselves up more than you should. Yeah, you are 1-2 but got beat by top 9 teams in the FCS. You had good moments, showed spirit and made it a game in one. The Griz smoked you, but the QB is one of the tops in the FCS and had a stellar day. 15 of 19 and of the 4 incompletes two were dropped by receivers and one was intentionally thrown away. People were open, but they didn't have to be very open. I suspect the coaches expected a run game (everyone at egriz certainly did) and quick passing TDs got everyone questioning and second guessing themselves. UND is certainly a better team than the last game's score indicates. So, don't mope. Pull things together and beat the Cats!

"The only thing I enjoy more than seeing the offense put up points is watching a defense smash an opponent into the fetal position. I've been waiting a while to see that again. Hopefully soon." Be careful what you wish for. I think that is the Griz plan.

Given last year, I suspect UM is more worried about covering the receivers than who is chucking the ball. And, indeed, our punter, Shaw, is the real deal. Before one of the spring scrimmages, I watched him stand on the 45 and punt ball after ball through the uprights. That said, I'm hoping UND won't see much of him. Here is to a good game with no injuries (clink and sip) and a continued intense but friendly rivalry (many more clinks and sips). I wish the Sioux a great season starting next Sunday.
