Venus the Griz Fan Picks Hornets over Griz in 2011

[superhornet]

Montana


9/3 @ (FBS) Tennessee - The Vols are a middling SEC team, but that's still at or above the level of the FCS elite
L, 35-17

9/10 vs. Cal Poly - The Griz won't play near as bad as they did in SLO last year
W, 35-21

9/17 vs. Eastern Washington - Last year, EWU won because of Taiwan Jones & in spite of Mitchell; no more TJ…
W, 27-21

9/24 @ Sac State - On paper, this is Sac's best-ever chance of beating the Griz; UM will make one too many mistakes
L, 28-24

10/1 vs. Northern Colorado - The Bears are still mediocre
W, 38-13

10/8 @ Idaho St. - Mike Kramer's revamped offense will excel at giving Montana the ball
W, 30-6

10/15 vs. Portland St. - No McKnight heroics will be necessary this time
W, 45-20

10/22 @ Northern Arizona - Thanks to a decimated defense, the 'Jacks won't even be in position for a tragic loss
W, 34-21

10/29 vs. Weber St. - Weber won't be contending for anything this year
W, 31-14

11/5 vs. (DII) Western Oregon - WOU will do better than Western State, but that doesn't really say much
W, 42-3

11/19 @ Montana St. - Davis's suspension hurts the Bobcat running game, and they need a strong one to beat UM
W, 27-24



The Griz will go 9-2 (7-1 Big Sky). I'm not sure about the auto-bid, but that will certainly be enough for a first-round bye in the playoffs.

A realistic range would be anywhere from 7-4 to 10-1, with 7-4 being the least likely and 9-2 the most.

I'm not sure I get the logic of the Griz losing their first ever to Sac but beating the National Champions. But I hope he's right! :mrgreen:

I say Ray and Roberts should have beaten the Jizz. Hope it is this year while we are at home.
