Someone should write a book, "Human Limitations of the Body". Seriously, I understand playing in the moment, but Palmborg was running near full speed, jumped 15 feet, and upon landing thought he could cut at a 90 degree angle. No one's knee will stand up to that. Ott only tried to cut at about a 50 degree angle near full speed, that didn't work so well either. Can a player understand human limitations, probably not?? Do we ever talk about high speed sharp cuts with the players, probably not. Should we? - Maybe

I think Blubaugh is the most improved player on the team. He plays a better off man than Harris. He tackles better than Harris. Harris is the best man press guy we have, and he's a cold-blooded river boat gambler.....or at least he was with some of his past pick 6's. I am not positive, but on the Montana jet sweep......Harris needs to keep this play inside. That defensive play by UND was horsesh-t other than Holm running it down. About Holm, he's are most consistent corner right now, as many have stated.

We need to make it easier for our students. They need personalized uber or limo rides, paid for of course, then just scan them in on their phones, chair lifts to the student section, and then the paying fans need to go over and tell them how awesome they are and how successful they are going to be in life.

I don't see 8-3 as a guaranteed play-off spot anymore. Looks like we need a computer to take out the dipsh-ts and bullsh-t!! Without a conference......that is probably hurting us. Although some in the Big Sky will benefit from UND higher in the polls, a team like E. Washington or UC Davis (teams we don't play) could care less. The biggest loser in the poll......Sac State. I don't think the team is very happy right now!!
-
Montana is 4-3. They have their bye week and are likely going to play UC Davis tough after re-grouping. Then 2 wins with Idaho and S Utah, then Montana St. So I see the most likely scenario of 2-2 for a 6-5 season. The griz are middle of the pack. They really lack a big time WR that they normally have. Either Sneed at QB had an off day or is a pretty average passer. Anyway, enough about the team that we just kicked their A_s!!
-
Dear Montana, How does it feel to be banged up, on the road, against a team coming off its bye week? Not so good now, does it!! The shots we took in the endzone were purposeful.....wish we would have connected on one to make it 48. At least 80% of our posters can quit man crushing on the griz now. They were overrated, nothing to be scared of.
-
Sounded like the Griz couldn't handle a little pass rush from Porland St. Ceislak and Bennet should be licking their chops. If we pressure and sack with 4 we'll be in good shape, biggest key to this game.

Down go the mighty griz......I can't recall, but someone was saying they were overrated!! That guy must really know his football-

Exactly this!! We are a blueprint for a bubble play-off team. -

In all honesty, I agree with Mike Leach that the old 50% run and 50% pass isn't balanced. 2018 called, balance is the ball distributed among your best play-makers. “There’s nothing balanced about 50% run-50% pass, ’cause that’s 50% stupid. What is balance is when you have five skill positions and all five of them are contributing to the effort in somewhat equal fashion — that’s balance. This notion that if you hand one guy 50% of the time and then you throw it to a combination of two guys the other 50% that you’re really balanced. You probably pat yourself on the back and tell yourself that. People have been doing that for decades. Well, then you’re delusional.” -
Sometimes roughness is necessary. I loved Mason Bennett lighting that guy up on the INT!! It was a close call on the penalty.

Tournament of Legends- Rick Flair is the 1 seed, Ditka 2, Protheroe is the 3 seed, Chuck Norris is the 4 seed. So Flair vrs Norris Ditka vrs Protheroe

UNI at #22. With a loss against SU they will only move up a few spots and secure a play-off spot. Interesting that Idaho St. is behind us........ It looks to me that 7-4 will not get us in the top #24. Montana game is pretty much the season!! Personally, I always liked a revenge game!!
-
I agree. Cal Poly against Eastern Washington, 70-17 to add some perspective. Cal Poly had 412 rushing yards and 32 1st downs against the Griz. Sac St. rushed for 251, 5.8 per carry against the Griz. Seriously, what more could we ask for.
-
Montana, the team that lost to Western Ill., and Montana St. beat Western Ill if anyone noticed. Sac St. and Cal Poly rushed all over the Griz. Cal Poly turned the ball over too much including a fumble 6. The Griz run D is so bad it managed to make Smok'n Joe Perothroe look relevant again. (He's not) NDSU made Cal Poly look like a high school team. Let's stop creaming our pants about Montana, we could not have played any worse our last few meetings and barring major injuries in our bye week we will be healthy. I swear half our posters man crush on the Griz. We better win this frickin game!!

I think our O- line, QB, and OC would struggle against either team. Next year, we should have more experience at O-line and QB, might be up to the challenge. Our corners and WRs, too, may struggle. I do think we are a few key players away from competing. A stud WR can do a lot for the O just as a shutdown corner can do for a D. I wore a gray Fargo Force shirt, as I have billeted a number of years for them.

Yes, watching 2 top FCS teams live that are not UND gives great perspective!!

SU vrs Jack's. 3-4 plays are the difference. 1st quarter, Jacks throw a pick in the endzone from about the 10 yard line. SU covers their quads left, SU has a back side D-back that settles in the middle and the QB threw it right to him. (-7 or -3 points for Jacks) Stick fumbles on his own 20. Looked like the Jacks covered but the pile up was 5 minutes long and SU recovers (-7 or -3 again for Jacks) Stick threw a pick on Jacks 20. (-3 or -7 for SU) Overall, both of their QBs are complete studs. They run so well, it's hard to defend!! Stick got lit up after a throw but the dude is tough as nails, didn't phase him. Shepherd, SU WR looked like a pretty good player but the rest of their WRs are nothing special. Jacks had a WR that caught EVERYTHING!! They had a speed guy, too, dropped a deep pass in the game and didn't battle too well for an end zone pass. Both teams are so solid. Jacks last possession down 4 points sucked, Sioux Sports would be calling for OC's his head after a run, run, swing pass 5 yards short of 1st down. A missed assignment made it look like a poor call, and this happens, players make mistakes on other teams, too. Both teams took their share of deep throws. Both teams probably have better corners than us although Holm has taken a big step this year. Also, both teams effectively screen pass by doing it outside the box. The UND screen with Santiago in the box.....well, hasn't worked. I showered twice last night. Got to catch up with Luke S., coach for the Jacks, after the game!!

Absolutely. I was volunteering for Youth Hockey Into Camp in Fargo and some Bison Club guys were volunteering too. I confessed my love for UND Football and Bison Hockey and the next session, they brought me a shirt!!
-
I could wear my Bison Hockey T shirt, cause I like UND Football/Bison Hockey. That's acceptable, right?
-
I am heading undercover on Saturday. My buddy coaches for the Jacks. It will be painful, for sure, unless the Jacks win, then a lot less painful, but still a little painful just being there. I will have a 1st hand look, good eye test for comparison to UND. I plan on wearing a Fargo Force tee shirt to avoid any conflict by the small % of fans that are total dipsh-ts.

He looked the most disappointed of any player after the game......

What is the time frame? How long will the link be open? The more we win the more some may want to give.

Protheroe vrs. Will Ratelle 2015. We all know who won that battle......it's a good thing the rest of the team picked up the slack for Will!!
