Watching the game and thinking why the hell can’t our OC call the game like they (other team in MT) do. I swear we have better if not just as good athletes at the key offensive positions!
We didn’t really establish any type of deep threat this year. That’s one thing the griz O has done a great job of.
I would submit that the only threat we did establish this year was the QB keeper.

OMG what a HORRIBLE offensive PI call against ndsu! Hardly any contact even made. Took away a big gain plus 15 yard penalty. Bison punt.

Huge turning point!

Announcers are annoying.


Can't make up my mind as to which is better - 55-21 or 48-14, but 34-11 will do.

It's been that way since Troy was the QB.

These are not the two teams I expected to see today. NDSU is about to get run out of the stadium if they don't stiffen up on D.

Ndsu got screwed on awful pass INT on a wheel route. They would’ve rolled to a TD

then a lucky 48 yard FG where an obvious false start missed

NDSU should take advantage here

When the Cats played NDSU, it felt like we were gonna have our way, but we just couldn’t shut the door.

I felt the same initially, but we sputtered out on our early drives and that killed us.

I agree, that PI call was one of the worst calls I've seen this year.

Did anyone notice the clock didn’t stop to move the chains on that 3rd and 14 play for the first down? Ndsu should have another :15 or so on the clock.

I’ll never understand taking the ball first after winning the toss.


Seattle to Billings to Missoula to Bozeman to Portland to Billings

I’m sure it’s just happenstance. It’s not like the gris have ever had the refs in their pockets.


...for today we raise, the BLUE and GOLD to wave victorious!... GO CATS GO!

In the movie Remember the Titans there was a game that the refs were calling bad in order to get the black coach fired. The white coach figured out what was happening, confronted the head ref and told him to call the game fair. The white coach rallied his defense and they won the game, but he lost the hall of fame.

Anyway, my point is, does that ever really happen outside of the movies?

Well, they are "blue bloods", and Hippietown IS the Mecca of college football, so....

Longtime creeper, first time poster. Missoula born and raised. UM and MSU alum. Griz fan since before WaGriz, the streak, etc. Love that the programs are neck and neck these days. Montana is so much cooler than the Dakotas. Wanted the Cats to beat NDSU with a fever in ‘21. The Griz and Cats both have infinitely better fan bases, long standing tradition, facilities and so on. Do I hate the Cats every third week of November? Absolutely. Still, whatever happened to solidarity in scorn for the homers from the Dakotas? Do you even MT bruh?

That was a roughing, but that punter is a loser.

Wonder if Choate will get Messingham as his OC? That said, I really wonder if Vigen will stick with Housewright or cut the cord and move on?


Punters are people too!!
