Hey Jack, spread is 3.5 in favor of the Cats. I’ll do that bet if you will.
P.S. My cousin wants 14 points and in the next breath tells me how confident he feels about a gris victory. Haha![]()

Re: Worst griz team since……?
I agree with you. The bettor confirmed the bet multiple times. We explored finding someone to hold the money. There was one or more volunteers. The bettor kept bobbing and weaving. He disappeared as the season went on.catatac wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 2:06 pmIt this true\confirmed... or one of those gray areas where it wasn't exactly clear what the bet was? Because if someone actually bet you $5,000 that the Cats were going to beat Griz in YOUR stadium this year by more than they did last year, that might be the dumbest bet I've ever seen, anywhere in the universe.Grizfan7 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 1:12 pmMy betting budget is already maxed out. $5,000 bet where the other side of the bet said that Cats would beat Griz by more than they did last season.

Re: Worst griz team since……?
Just to confirm PR, this is what you need to bet on the game:
1) Only cash, no donations to respective charities.
2) Must be months in advance.
3) Won’t bet on the game straight up, only the spread.
I’m not the smartest man in the world, but that sure seems like the “rules” for somebody who doesn’t want to make a bet. You know you can just say that, right?

Re: Worst griz team since……?
I would have thought the “months in advance” part covered the “don’t want to bet at this time” part, but perhaps I overestimated your ability to logic.

You’re right thought. It’s completely reasonable to want to bet the spread months before the actual game. Totally normal thing that people do, all the time. Definitely not just a reason to avoid making a bet.

I don't know where the list came from, and haven't talked to Bobby or his friends about this, but note that Bobby turned down the job previously.

Not talking trash. Honest question.
They look absolutely terrible. Offense is a joke, defense is sub par, coaching is pathetic….
Late 80’s?…. Is this the worst griz team we have seen in over 30 years? I think so.

Exactly. People on egriz were posting much worse stuff then this at the time.
And yes, they looked light hot garbage early in the season. It’s been a pretty crazy turn around.

Yep, Schmitt said there wasn't any talent on the team, nobody on the 2023 griz would've started for his teams of 15 years ago, and the griz would only win 6 games. So if you're gonna collect receipts then go start there.Cataholic wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2023 8:49 amI recall Andrew Schmidt and many well respected Gris fans saying the exact same thing.Grizfan7 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2023 10:11 pmYou said worst Griz team.

Re: Worst griz team since……?
Yup. At the time, I said Schmidt was wrong. I was right. He was wrong. He is not close to the team. I am. I like Andrew, but he likes to be controversial at times. A number of 2023 guys would have been standouts on his team. Gillman and Ostmo are better than Schmidt. Not Etu, Lex, Justin or Chase. Bobby says Gubner is best D player in Conference. Bergen and Hill. I wonder how many Cats would start on Schmidt’s team. Based on Saturday. Any? The Cats showed little or nothing in that game. Saturday is my receipt.91catAlum wrote: ↑Mon Nov 20, 2023 9:40 amYep, Schmitt said there wasn't any talent on the team, nobody on the 2023 griz would've started for his teams of 15 years ago, and the griz would only win 6 games.

Re: Worst griz team since……?
Here’s summary of what Schmidt is saying now.
“He’s joked that he’s going to come up here for the playoffs and do a dunk tank so fans can dunk him for being wrong.
He’s been super complimentary of the turnaround and what this team has become.”
