Cat-Griz comparison

[Cledus]

Thanks.

Good article. Objective and seemingly unbiased. It points to Bobbi's failures (he is a four time loser after all), vs. our strong and steady rise with talent in both players and coaches.

Return To Dominance? Howsabout Return To Mediocrity?

Naw you got it all wrong. RTD = Return To Dumpster

Well, I just don't know. A MORE scathing article was written in 2022 after we had the incredible exposure on ESPN Game Day and then we blew out the gris 55 to something. The article pointed out how much MSU had grown in enrollment with its outstanding academic programs (especially engineering, computer science, etc.) and all the construction taking place on campus. Then 2023 comes along and the gris smoke us and go to the finals in Frisco. And we were loaded last year. UM overachieved and we underachieved. Anyway, yes, I really like where we are right now. We can thank President Cruzado and Leon Costello for much of the success. In my biased opinion, Montana State is THE university of the state of Montana these days. However, having said that, it was Jeff Choate who figured out how to win four in a row against the gris, including two at their place. Only when we can go into Wa-gris and win on a consistent basis can we say we are dominating them.

You can't give Costello and Cruzado credit then only focus on losses at WA Griz. Cats are dominant in overall sport wins, FB, MBB, WBB, Volleyball, Rodeo, T&F, Cross Country, Golf are all consistently finishing above Griz or advancing further in post season. There has been numerous building projects for sports and academics. Enrollment has soared. MSU is the dominant institution.

There’s a Divide Trophy for all sports combined. Cats have owned it for 8 yrs straight… FTG

I do enjoy the fact that some of these reporters are openly calling out the gris downfall. I have noticed that Colter has been pretty open about Hauck’s shortcomings as well. While it is the reporters’ job to assess and report the declining state of the program, it seems that Hauck’s rude behavior to them over the years has made them more willing to point out his failures.

This season Colter said BH was the best coach in the BSC. He still has plenty believers.

Hauck is the discount Nick Saban.

Pretty deep discount there... Especially considering Saban has won multiple NC games.

So who's going to be hated by griz fans more? Frank or Gwen?

Furthermore, Lacrosse has beat the Griz every year since 2016!

Had anyone dared to lurk on egriz and see their response to the article? LOL

Hoops is arguing that the gris are as good as they have ever been, most seem to see that there is a problem

[84CatGrad]

As much as I'd like to buy into the sentiment that the frizzzz are yesterday's news I'm not buying it. A year from the 'ship and with eight home games next year they are all but guaranteed a top 8 seed and they'll be back in the thick of it. We also need a win at WaFrizz next year rather than get blown out for there to be any trend that I can see.

I would LOVE to be wrong.

Outside of PR, they're pretty much all in agreement with the article.

Here's what I love, next year 8 home games, easy schedule, they won't feel the need to fix anything and then they play us and they'll be not good with a week schedule.

They have a very easy schedule, they should be 9-0 when we play them.

As easy as their schedule is, an overlooked element is that they play 12 straight weeks without a bye. Could easily see them pretty banged up by late in the season

i had them 8-4 next season, but with Idaho implosion, it may be 9-3

That would be impossible... unless there are two games that don't get played. lol
