  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. "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.

  6. 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.
