[bruinbison]

Well, this GDT is a much appreciated sight!!!

[sage]

I can't be there, but you will hear me from 500 miles away. I'm hoping we play a statement game today and kick the p*** out of them all day long. Run the nut right down their throats.

[Professor Chaos]

Phew!

[EC8CH]

Activate Playoff Mode!!!

[bruinbison]

Things I’ll be watching today include:

- Can the Griz adjust their blitz-heavy 3-3-5 defense to run blitzes, versus getting after QB’s dropping back to pass.
Didn’t go so well against Montana State and their running QB’s……

- ……leading to does Cam Miller stay so active in running the ball. Perhaps even going all Trey Lance on Montana. How much of the power QB package gets used??? Lotsa Cole Payton??? Make the Griz stop it???

- Is Griz QB Lucas Johnson healthy enough to run??? Montana could sure use that……Arizona QB Jayden De Laura showed how to do that, will Bobby Hauck pick up on that film?

- Who is in at RB for the Griz? They lost one RB to injury plus another to the Transfer Portal. FR Eli Gillman would be highly motivated against the Bison. He is a Minnesota product (Dassel-Cokato) who the Griz recruited. I kept waiting for the Bison to offer, but they never quite got there. Gillman remembers……

- Who is in at TE for the Bison?

[EC8CH]

Plenty of tickets are available

I've got a single for free on the 40 if anyone wants it just drop me a note. Funniest Lakes short joke gets it.

[BisonHorns]

This game can't get here fast enough. The Bison will roll the Griz at ease. Sorry to be pompous, but Griz will have no run game and they won't be able to stop ours. By the third quarter they will be deep passing every play.

[Gully]

All is well with the world!

[Bison4peat]

Go Bison!!!!

Those teams were arguably better Bison teams though. Paat results are not indicitive of future results. We were also a 1 or 2 seed those years so the opponents were weaker

[KSBisonFan]

I have a feeling this game gets chippy and the refs are going to get flag-happy. We're not good enough to overcome penalties so we need to focus and be disciplined.

Bison 34, Griz 17.

I had to fight dome security guys verbally to let the students spill into section 12...since it was wide open.

I was like. just let them.


NDSU needs to attack the middle of the griz Defense

[Snowgoose]

Why do we not use tamerick at all. He was basically our best rb this year beside luepke. He only comes in to block on pass plays

[MontBison]

We need coach meathead to go meathead for us. We can run a gap power for 5 yds all fucking day.

[El_Chapo]

roehl play calling is hirrrrible

[KSBisonFan]

Enough QB run already.

[Kevin]

Qb power on third again. Who could have guessed

[sage]

Let these sheep breeders hang around they will beat us. Bison are out of sync and getting overpowered.

[CalBison97]

Straight handoffs up the gut please. Too many sweeps and read options that string out the play.

[Strommer10]

Did ESPN hire the old KVLY camera men? My god they need to zoom out. So many missed plays because the main camera operator is zoomed in on a random player's helmet. It's awful.

[BisManBison]

Entz just had to give away 3 points before half. SMFH

This.......poor decisions throughout so far.

Agree, what the hell is going on?

[KSBisonFan]

We gave up 6 of 11 conversions on 3rd and 4th down the first half. Looks like the defense from early in the year. Can't get off the field.

[steelbison]

What else is new. Another half of poor coaching. Seems to be a trend this year. Offensively we had two drives and nothing else. Defense was awful other than the forced fumble. Special teams were anything but special.

At this point it’s who do we want to lose too. No chance this team wins the championship.

[Smokeyburnout]

Is it possible the coaching staff has some misguided belief that we'll easily win so no need to tip your hand and show future opponents everything? That's the only thing that I can figure.....

[KSBisonFan]

Little to no under center, I formations in the first half. Several negative plays that really got us off schedule.

Tip what hand? We run a hand full of plays. Same ones we have run all year. We are easy to defend. Only reason we are successful is we have superior talent to our opponents.

"I wish there were 5 quarters in this game, so we could kick their asses some more!"

[IndyBison]

That enforcement was correct, but I didn't like the "essentially the same spot" announcement. The live ball personal foul is enforced 15 yards from the end of the run and an automatic first down. Then the dead ball personal foul is enforced 15 yards back the other way. You are supposed to walk off both and set the chains once the penalties are enforced. So you do come back to the end of the run. The announcers were confused, but they have no clue.

Anyone notice that #55 for Montana was the only one to not go on the field after the game and not shake hands. He was the one who had the hands to the face penalty by an NDSU player and was very, very heated with his helmet off after the play. Maybe coaches told him to stay off the field afterwards and go to the locker room.

He was a wanker! Most Griz knew this was over. He did not. Lots of holding by him all game. But not called so can’t blame him

Nice write up.

Waege, does anyone know how he is. Did come away from the game health?

His dad said he is fine but expected his back would be really sore this morning. Spencer was in the foyer after the game signing autographs so that seemed good.

I was worried for him after that play as it was extremely dirty.

I saw one in the cocourse at haltime wearing a "Montana Hockey" hoodie. I guess UND fans made a lasting impression on the Big Sky.

Lol!! Gris brag all the time on great their fans are and how they fill their games. Last week they hardly anyone at the game the end zone seats were empty. They say how they travel but they don't they are just a bunch of want to be.

Away games they have to have one of the poorest fanbase to follow the team. Terrible their whole program sucks.

They had a respectable showing but could have embarrassed us with all the open seats. I think the majority of Griz fans knew they didn't have a chance against the Bison. Being crushed by the fighting vegans has given all be the most irrational of Griz fans an accurate understand of where they team currently stands in comparison to NDSU.

I saw quite a few on the west side, they just were scattered all over and not in the usual guest seats. The two spots right by my seat with Griz, they knew they could get better tickets…and then did.

I saw maybe 10 in section 18. It is a long drive from Montana, especially if you don’t think your team is going to win.

No difference than going to SIU. Or do they have an airport there? I think the seal clubbing they took from MSU might have curbed their enthusiasm.

"Seal clubbing" LOL . I like that, 56. Gotta remember that.

Yep, airport in Sanfranzoula.

Yep, airport in Sanfranzoula.

Have to connect in Denver tho, for most part. No direct flight, and clearly not enough interest in charter flights. I’m sure MT prez and AD flew tho, why not just hook charter in?
