Finally Just Watched The Entire Replay

[TomCat88]

I find reading efizz to be quite entertaining. There is a lot of sour grapes.
Hoops and the rest of the posters sure have a lot to say about a game booby and the fizz were not part of. The gnashing of teeth, crying about luck, etc. is quite amusing.

I took a look over on that board. They are eating each other alive. I honestly feel a bit sorry for them.

Yikes.

If the Bobcats were lucky, then so was UM in 1995 and 2001. UM benefited from a ton of penalties in 1995 and Furman’s stud running back, who it’s offense centered on, played at about 50%.

I get why they need to rationalize their rival’s success. I would probably do the same thing. What I don’t get is why they are tearing at each other’s throats. It’s a full-on apocalypse over there. Half of them are burning Bobby effigies and the other half are posting about other fan’s families.

It’s ugly.

Oh well … we’re the Champs, baby!

UM fans/media sycophants reactions are why many of us are not ready to let go of the ESGGCG chant.

Not to mention the gris winning field goal in 1995 barely made it inside the goal posts with 39 seconds remaining. They think it was a dominant win today.

What year did the Missoula bear rugs play Central Washington who had a quarterback from Kalispell and barely won with a walk off field goal?

It's because most of them know they're screwed. I've said it 100 times but there is a significant gap between our two programs right now. I'm not saying they aren't good, or can't be very good next year..... but it would take a miracle for them to surpass MSU. Overwhelming emphasis and focus on strength and depth of the lines, S&C, nutrition, mental toughness and culture, recruiting MT, finding $$ for players, etc. MSU Has the edge here in all of these areas - and it showed up against them twice this year, and showed up again Monday. If they want to transform that program to be on the same level as us and the DSUs, it would be a multi year project, and they'd need to scrap the 3-3-5. Bobby is too stubborn for any of that.

[Common Cat]

I rewatched the 4th qtr and OT and it still gave me an elevated heart rate and the sweats... AND I KNOW HOW IT ENDS!

SAME HERE

Guilty! Add me to this list.

Hahaha I still had to get up and pace around!

[SLC_Cat]

In my rewatch something came to mind...

On the errand snap at the end of regulation, it looks to me me that two of the WRs are moving/not set. Shouldn't that have been a procedure penalty, rather than the result of the play?

Or am I wrong in my observation that there were players moving/not set?

It would be an illegal shift which is a live ball foul.

1st drive of 2nd half started good. Then that 3rd and 1 that we try the quick snap and no one blocks the LB. Have to punt when liket we run 2x to try to get that 1st. I think it was designed to look over and then go quick to get ISU off guard. Even FG there I think changes ISU plan to grind it out.

We ran that same play earlier in the playoffs, I think in the semifinal, with a good amount of success. ISU saw it on film and was ready.

They were. Just odd play call when we were moving ball and had a 3rd and 1 in potentially 3rd down territory.

That's because it's so long ago they can't really remember it.

Thank you for the clarification

Watching the whole game again today. Still got nervous through the 2nd half, haha!

A few things things I noticed though, and forgive me if these observations have already been made:

1. #2 for ISU was really limited, good coverage on him throughout much of the game, which is why Lord had a day.

2. Cole Taylor is just tough. He got a little chippy at times, but man is he a good defender!

3. Despite knowing they were entering the portal weeks ago, the players who have left, specifically Williams, Johnson, and McMillan, played so very well! They didn't back off but rather played with intensity and a will to win. I didn't really feel that way with the transfer players at the NC last year.

4. Lamson was just a money pick. So glad how that worked out!

Yes, they limited #2 Sobkowicz. He's their best 'player' on offense, but their OL was their biggest strength.

They also did a decent job on Dawson, who finished with 29-124 (4.3), which is good, but MSU stuffed him twice on the goal line and he only had 32 yards on his last 15 carries. I think the decision to kick was partly due to Dawson being slowed down and their inability to get in the end zone on six plays from the 5.

Their skill players were good, but I think their OL made them look a lot better than they are.

Their OL was very good! Haven't seen Eiden not get through at least once all season but they kept him in check. And his point about Dawson. He was tough to bring down but the Cats had success slowing him down. Lord was tough to stop, he was a good player and I'm sure they're bummed he transferred out.

I am not sure if it is official yet, but I heard that Lord and Dawson both decided to stay at Illinois State

Great line. I wasn’t impressed with Rittenhouse or Dawson. Without that OL you’d never have heard of them.
