Eastern game

Eastern is ahead 34-28, just had a FG blocked. Sammies have the ball on the 25, have to go 75 yards in 40 seconds with no timeouts.

I wish this game was on local TV.

Kick good. Ridiculous. I think we all know just exactly how Eastern feels.

For the love of everything pure and holy, can anything else happen to make it any easier for the griz to win a NC? I know Sam Houston beat the griz, but I think they'll get worked up here in Missoula.

William & Mary losing to James would help.

I don't think it matters. Whoever wins next weekend wins. If Sammy can keep from falling behind early, it might be a dogfight. If they fall behind quick, it will be over early.

I didn't want to track this game last night because I had a feeling this may happen. Couple the way the playoffs have gone this season for the griz with the way we lost to Wyoming last night and I am almost convinced Santa, the tooth ferry, Easter bunny, and all other mystical figures wear Maroon and Silver. How it must feel to go through life getting every break imaginable.

take about getting breaks for the friz. How about the early interception and then the friz get the fumble recovery. This play could have changed the early mo of the game.

The NC is for the friz to loss now with another pending home game against a warm weather team and all of the top seeds in the other bracket gone.

I wish the friz good luck.

How many starters on O do the Friz have from Montana? 0
And they give us a bad time about getting players from outside of Mt.

I've been pointing out the lack of Montana kids on the Griz offense all season. With the exception of Lex, I love how they brag up their alleged superiority at getting/playing in-state kids. For the record, they have 46 MT kids listed on their roster, we have 34. I'd say that's pretty good considering the last 15 years or so...

do you guys know anything about football. You play the best guys regardless of where they are from. UM recruits and has more kids from MT on the team. But that isn't going to mean they get to start. You have to beat out the other guys at your position to start. Whining, pissing and moaning, maybe you should not watch or pay attention the Griz since it gets you guys so frustrated.

jah, if you are not familiar with 2 dipstick "writers" in Butte & the venom they spew toward Kramer regarding what they feel is a high # of Californians on our team, then you have no business posting on this thread.

They represent a mindset that is fairly prevalent that the griz recruit AND play more Montanans because they CHOOSE to. You're right, there are more Montanans on the griz, but how many of them play NO role? And given the history of the 2 schools the past 15 years, I'm still amazed that we've managed to get the good Montana kids we have!

Not sure if I've ever admitted it before on this board, but I like Kramer. It is tough for him to recuit well in Montana, but he does get some good MT players. He has in the past misjudged players or overlooked guys from MT, but I'm sure the Griz have too. I get tired of people who think a kid should get to play just because he is from Montana. That isn't the way college football works. College football is a cut throat business for the coaches. They must produce to they are gone. I do think being MT schools that MT kids should be give serious looks in the recruiting process for various reason. It develops new fans, keeps fans, and give MT some pride in their own boys. I'll also admit that I have talked smack about the cats and all their california kids, but it was smack just to stir things up.
One thing I really like about Kramer is that he plays who he thinks is the best...seemingly. And no player seems to be guaranteed their starting job from week to week. If a kid is playing better than a starter, that kid seems to win the job. That is how it should be. Preference should not be given based on home town, hair length, skin color, number of pimples, or anything else other than who is the hardest worker, best athlete, and best player.

You guys must have just gotten screwed out of MT talent like Carpenter, Murphy, Bagley, Hilliard, Spencer, Potts and MacIntyre...

I'm not sure what your post means; of course we wish we'd gotten SOME of your guys, but Mac Mollohan, Nick Marudas, Beau Clark, Chad Gluhm, Brant Birkeland, the Boiteau Brothers, and Clayton Curley are not too shabby...

I'm pretty sure BOTH teams have had plenty of kids over the years they wish they'd gotten instead of them going to the "other" team...
