And griz fans are talking big for a team that could very easily BE 1-3, just gave up 500 yards to a mediocre team IN WaGriz, have the worst QB's in 15 years, and could easily lose their next 4 games, miss the playoffs and go 3-8 next year...
And the cats could easily be 1-4. Whats your point?

Try to keep up eastcoast... we find that if you're trying to make witty comebacks, it always helps to read the thread... otherwise you just look like an idiot, idiot.

Nothing like two grizidgits repeating eachother, LOL!

You guys are cute

Thanks, my wife thinks I'm cute too.

I did read the post, gate suggested we could easily have been 1-3, I just reminded him that the cats could easily have been 1-4. Could, would, should has nothing to to do with the facts. Our records are our records, idiot.

3) Does this man get you excited about Griz football? As a supporter and booster for the 'Cats, I say this is important for the overall program.

I like BH because he will bring down the mighty Griz program.

Bottom line is that if the playoff brackets are still set up where there's an automatic bid and a number of discretionary bids, UM will be in the playoffs as a 2nd place conference team because of the $$ that a game brings in Missoula and partially on history. Not saying it's right, just saying it would happen.

The selection committee knows that Montana is good for the playoffs because games in Missoula bring in money. In 1994 the Griz won the bid to host the 1st round game vs. Northern Iowa, then the 2nd round game vs. McNeese. Back then the school that could bid the highest could get any game. But when the UM outbid #1 Youngstown for the semis, the powers that be overlooked the bidding and said they wouldn't take a #1 team and make them go on the road, even though they could have sent them to Missoula because at that time, it was all by bids.

Cat fans may dislike it, but a 2nd place Griz team is more likely to make the playoffs than a 2nd place Cats team. That's not a knock, just how it probably would be.

Kusek tosses out an occasional commentary to let the readers think he is following college football. He primarily writes about rodeo. After that, he promotes the Billings Mavericks with more coverage they they deserve.

Who says the Griz will be a 2nd place team? We'll know more here in 3 weeks.
