Cats Schedule

Post by Pooooor Bobkitties » Sat Nov 27, 2004 10:14 am

I was just wondering who the bobkitties were playing today? Oh thats right your done looks like 6-5 cant get you into the playoffs every year, maybe you should try to win 9 games and you might have a chance. Looks like your stuck with playing with Rosie and Lucy today. Hope your players enjoyed Turkey day with there families AT HOME!!!!!!!!!

We lost to the gizz but I look at it as a mixed blessing as that means Baby Hauck won't be fired which means your program will not progress. The last thing I wanted was Baby fired and a new coach by the name of Van Deist hired. That would spell trouble for us.

(Ignoring the chidish 1st post)

Actually Peed, we've yet to see if Bobby's a good or bad coach. He has led our team to back-to-back playoffs. He's also hitting the recruiting game pretty hard, we're seeing some good commits (Yes I know many players are great in HS but suck in college, what I'm saying is we're seeing some highly talented kids coming to Missoula).

And straight up, he's got a better record then Kramer over the past two years.

This year against the cats you've got to admit that the Griz were prepared for Lulay, and found a way to contain him through constant pressure. That was good coaching. Also when the Griz had the ball it was a very balanced attack, had the bobcat D not exactly knowing where the ball was going to go on some plays.

I don't think you can compare records and say one coach is better than another. It has been said before on here that nearly any competent coach could win with that program. Lets face it you guys get better recruits because of your staduim and tradition. Baby H. seems to be a pretty decent recuiter but nobody and I mean NOBODY even on your board is calling him a good coach.

Keep it on the smack board, dipsh*t. We may not be able to watch our Bobcats in the playoffs today, but I take solace in the fact that none of us have to look in the mirror and see your stupid mug looking back. My guess is that you've got 3 brain cells left, and none of them get along...

Peed,

I think a lot of people have been saying that this year, ever since our rebound win against NAU. The next week we crush Sac, then we beat the Cats, and Kramer gets outcoached by Bobby.

This week we destroy the #1 defense in 1AA, and take one of the best running teams in the nation (I think they avg 270+ a game) and hold them to 75 yds. You can credit players only so much, but the team effort and mainly the game plan is put together by coaching. Our 2nd and 3rd stringers looked good in the 4th qtr against those guys too!

Win or lose this coming Sat. almost every Griz fan is happy with Bobby this year, and we're looking forward to the next few to come.

We could argue all day about Hauck's off-the-field behavior, but after watching the last two Griz games the question of "Is he a good coach?" has been answered for me. He knows what he's doing folks, and those MSU fans who have claimed that he'll run the UM program into the ground are very wrong...it might have taken him a couple years to get there, but he made it. Hey, that wasn't a good smack post at all, was it? Griz volleyball sucks!!!! There.

I never though Hauck was a bad coach, I just never though he was a great coach. Considering how bad the Griz were for the Griz earlier in the year, I think they have made real progress and that is due to player experience and good coaching.

But I certainly have to agree with a previous post: almost anyone could coach a winning team at Montana. The recruits come easily, because of the facilities, the fan base, and the tradition. You can't tell me that if Kramer coached the Griz, he couldn't make the playoffs every year? Hauck is probably above average, but with so much talent around and easy recruiting for the Griz, he would have to be a complete moron to have a .500 season or less.

After 5 years he should have only his own recruits, No reason a GOOD coach couldn't win more than 6 games is there? Unless building a quality program is a second priority to beating the rival "this" year, by filling up with jc's & stepping all over the few young in state recruits that need playing time to learn the college game.

kRames has sacrifised the bobcat future by having to try to win "now", rather than building FOR the future!! The fans and administation are very forgiving ,as in his 0-11 season, why does he feel so much pressure to Not build his program?
For your own sake, get a life.

I guess that explains why Kramer restrained himself and only burned ONE redshirt this year, compared to Hack who burned HALF of his freshmen's redshirts...

It will be interesting to see what sh*t-for-brains has to say when the griz bring in a bunch of transfers this offseason. :oops:

I am calling him a good coach. Can only imagine what he will be like going forward. Life is good being a GRIZ! :D :D

If I remember correctly, the last three seasons have all been winning seasons, 2 of which we were BSC champions and made the playoffs? I'm sorry I don't understand how that is a below .500 record, since I was speaking for a single season, not a whole career. Kramer has brought the Cats out of the cellar to be a nationally ranked team for spurts here and there.

I know you Griz fans think we all idolize Kramer, but that isn't the whole truth. I love what he has done to gain interest for football in the city, and at a national level. Considering Kramer had to turn a program around, where as all Bobby had to do was keep winning, Kramer had a MUCH harder job than Hauck. Hauck has tradition, nice facilities, large fan base, prestige, all going for him and his program. He didn't build any of that. They were all there before he came along. Kramer had/has a subpar stadium, a smaller fanbase, virtually no prestige for the program, and took over a team that hadn't had a winning season, at least not consistently, for many, many years.

I would bet money that if Hauck would have been coach instead of Kramer, he wouldn't have been able to do as much for this program as Kramer has. So yes, I give Kramer tons more credit than Hauck.

Plus we don't run up our deficit by illegal recruiting practices either, but that is another story. ;)

Hey Bozone,

That Sh- for brains beat the hell out of your guy this year, remember that. Also this guy you hate so much has his team playing on ESPN 2 this Sat in the 2nd round of the NCAA playoffs, where is yours this weekend?

Bobby has brought our team together this year. At the start of the season we needed a good coach to help our young team come together. It took half a season of close games, then an embarassing loss (PSU), but after that we've been red hot.

Win or lose this weekend against NH I've really liked what Bobby's done with his guys this year.

I don't think the sh-- for brains that he is referring to has anything to do with the football team. For the one he is referring to, saying that he even has sh-- for brains is something of a compliment, actually.

Maybe someone can fill me in.

We've seen what he's done on the field and the hopeful talent he's recruited.

What's the big problem with him? Cat fans seem to hate this guy, but I can't see why, other then he outcoached Kramer this year in this years game. Has he done something? Said something? Knocked up Bozone's sister? (Thats a joke :lol: )

Let me know. I personally have no large negative thoughts towards Kramer. He was brought in for a lot of reasons and one was that he'd beat the Griz before, and managed to do that two years straight as MSU's coach. I don't think he's a sh-- for brains, or a bad person, which is what I gather Cat fans seem to feel towards Hauck.

Perhaps he knocked up your wife/girlfriend? You did allude to having a future little gizz on the way right?
