bergen said he was not going anywhere. I could see Gillman and that freshman linebacker going. Not sure any of the gris impressed too much in the game to get anyone looking...gillman had 18 yards with a long of 5....I think they have some receivers who if they were smart would enter..
He never said that..

SDSU roster was so stacked. Somewhat conservatively, probably four or five NFL guys on there-- at least a couple of whom are almost certain to be drafted. These guys could legitimately put eight guys from this senior class in the NFL.

In that context, given that we came within a toe tap of beating them on the road, you realize the kind of talent we had (much of which is coming back)

Does SDSU win every G5 conference and possibly the Big 10 West?

That was game 2 of the season…SDSU was missing players and SDSU the griz NDSU all got better as the season went on, the cats never seemed to gain any momentum as the season went on. Yes on roster cats were right there with griz and SDSU but they lacked in execution in the big games.

I’m not so sure that those exact words came out of his mouth. Sounded vague to me

The way I remember it was he said he really likes it at UM, his friends are there and he wants to continue playing there.
If all the sudden someone offers him $xxx,xxx he may decide he wants the $ more and give one of those "that being said, goodbye" letters.
Would it surprise anyone if Uncle Denny made a good enough offer to keep him at UM?

Did SDSU neutralize him, or did he neutralize himself?

I’m not sure how NDSU and SDSU (and UM?) are getting their players to stay but I’d like to know. Do they have that kind of money?

Are they? There was the NDSU LB that went someplace else a couple years ago. We lost a couple. I would be surprised if they didn't lose a couple too. They aren't going to lose people before they play the natty. Unless that person is not a great teammate.

NDSU has lost some players to the portal. Kept some though so very similar to the Cats. I expect Gronowski to head to the Big 10 with his OC.

I think Gillman will enter the transfer portal. Bergen I'm not sure. He never gave the definitive "I am staying in Missoula" but instead said "its my plan to stay in Missoula" which to me leaves the door open. Plans change after all.

Sounds like he's hitting the portal to me. :)

Not a single player is going to go on a radio show the week of the National Championship game and give any other answer than what Bergen gave there. We'll find out soon who's staying and who isn't, personally I don't wish major transfer portal losses on anyone after the experience last spring of watching the total destruction of MSU's men's basketball roster.

Why? He’s a secondary option for them in that system and an excellent punt returner but that doesn’t change them losing their best players on defense along with still having a good but not great offense. They played above their record this year and a lot of things went right for them, yet they still struggled to win their final two homes games when it mattered and got clowned by the SDSU defense yesterday when it mattered most.


Seattle to Billings to Missoula to Bozeman to Portland to Billings

What a ride
