Research? Homers saying their teams are good doesn't mean jack. I am going to go ahead and underestimate them until they prove otherwise. I think the Cats will be very mediocre this year.
I hope you're right but know you're wrong. As for their QB... http://vimeo.com/32048121" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I hope he completely reworked his footwork and throwing motion because both are atrocious in that video. If those are his highlights, then his lowlights video must be pretty bad. :lol:
 
Montana is going to be 1-3 heading into the Northern Colorado game who they host. This game against Northern Colorado will be a nail biter and the griz will LOSE when a last second 39 yard field goal goes wide right. :thumb:

That would necessitate NC ever having a lead. :?

Yes, by the time Northern Colorado invades (yes, invades) WA griz, the griz are going to be so deep into their true freshman that Carrol College could beat them. :D :D

Oops!, Ha Ha. Good one Kalm. I forgot about the egriz "rite of passage" :D :D

Most teams only play one QB at a time :lol:

I see them going 8-4, 6-2 in the Big Sky. They'll drop one to us in Cheney and one more along the way in addition to losses at Wyoming and North Dakota State. They may sneak into the playoffs with another first round exit. They'll brag about making the playoffs again and then spend the rest of the playoff season bashing Eastern for their high school field, 17 fans, and having a directional name. They'll ignore the fact that they've lost 4 out of 5 overall to EWU, have gone to 0-3 on the red turf, and swallowing the fact that EWU will have matched the number of National Championships they've earned in their amazing run of FCS dominance that ended back in 2009. It's the ugly, predictable cycle that is the University of Montana and their small minded, chest thumping, mouthpiece fans. (With the exception of a few knowledgeable ones)

And for what it's worth, the Eags will finish 14-1 with their 2nd National Championship.

GO EAGLES!!
 
Excellent summation, 2010. Assuming a team needs 7 D1 wins to become playoff eligible, Montana will need to win all 5 home D1 games and at least 2 on the road. Here are their options:

Wyoming
NDSU
ND
Poly
EWU
SUU

I don't see the Griz beating Wyoming, NDSU, or EWU, so they have to win 2 of 3 against North Dakota, Poly, and Southern Utah. That's no easy feat considering they have a thin O-line and a questionable Ellis Henderson. Remember, this only gets them to 7 wins AND we're assuming they beat the Cats in the Brawl. Realistically, they'll have to pull off an upset against us, the Bison, or Cowboys to make the playoffs. November could be a fun month to watch the Griz apologists spin.

i don't see them losing at all at home this year and also don't see them losing to CP, SU, or ND. ND and SU will not be very good this year and CP lost a bunch of players so you can forget about them beating anyone good. as much as I dislike Montana if you look objectively they will still have a lot of talent and i don't think they'll miss the playoffs again.

I don't see a single game on their schedule that is unwinnable. Wyoming is tough, but doable. It would be a nice FCS over FBS win if they pull it off. No one really knows how much North Dakota State lost from last year, so even that is conceivable. I'd probably make Wyoming a very small favorite over Montana and NDSU about 10 points or so. If either slip up or the Griz play out of their minds, those are potential Ws.

I agree. Montana's schedule has a ton of games which are fifty, fifty. Probability and luck could easily swing their way and they end up with a winning season.

Wow. That's a bold statement considering the quality of QB that MSU has employed as of late...

Ours haven't exactly been slouches, either. Blankenship, Meyer, Nichols, BLM, now Adams...most likely West and/or Hennessey will also be great players here.

MSU has had Lulay and DM, which were both great. But comparatively we've been more consistent at that position, and I don't think it's a stretch to think we've recruited and developed better players.

Forgive me, I just think it is a bit of a stretch to think our 2 and 3 deep QBs is better than MSU's first string QB. This isn't a subpar team we are talking about here. I think that the BSC will definitely notice Prukop when he settles in. To think otherwise sounds a bit far fetched and ego driven.

Does anyone find it suspicious that IroneagleXP's only posts on this site have been talking up MSU?

Yep.

The question marks for Montana are on oline, wr, and LB (big dude at tackle was declared academically ineligible, Henderson has a bacterial infection, his return is unknown, and their number two is injured, and they graduated all three starting linebackers from last year.

Similar to MSU, it's a question of whether they are still at the point of reloading or rebuilding, but they still should have athletes waiting in the wings to step up.

Regarding SUU and Davis, they both have brutal OOC schedules but return quite a bit of talent. SUU hired former BYU head coacher Cowton as OC and has perhaps the best NFL prospect in the BSC in James Cowser. Davis progressed nicely under a first year head coach last season and has the most productive running back in the conference in Manzanares. Ignore their records heading into conference play, both should be decent teams.
