Montana Post Game Thoughts & Discussion

[Grizzled]

On the one hand, I did not expect to be in a situation where I feel like we *should* have won the semifinal game on the road… surprised we made it that far after the UND game. Not a bad result for our worst team in 14 years.

On the other hand…

To everyone playing the “let’s not overreact here” card… I have one question? What is the appropriate reaction when you have a head coaching decision coming up that will also likely impact portal decisions and general program direction?

We’re not overreacting, we’re acting appropriately.

Exactly. I don’t see this as a “reloading” year. Talent level continues to decline. High end talent likely leaves and we are going to be like every other team bringing in a bunch of kids to fill holes and hoping they mesh.

I’d have to lean on our officiating posters. If TE engages like a run play to sell the run, can you throw the flag when the DB treats it as such and could say they are “getting off the block”. Tough call to make as an official at that point.

Just sold my Natty tickets as soon as I listed them.

Great run by the fellas after the und game. Had a bunch of chances in hostile territory today. Now it’ll get interesting.

Also how awful was the actual Broadcast today? I mean holy crap, neither commentator said our name right, not even once. They kept talking about how dominant the Griz were on the LOS, and I was like… wut????? Wut game are you watching???

Additionally, the director would cut to the LOS camera with less than 3 seconds on the play clock every fricken snap. Literally missed 4-5 plays. There were so many bad camera takes, or missed question from the director, it made me want to gouge my eyes out.

And before anyone says “what do you know bout this??” I used to work in sports broadcasting with fox sports and ESPN, so I’m not blowing smoke (for once)

The Montana player was far more athletic than the clumsy Bison.

We almost watched the 2nd half in silence. It's too hard to sync the radio broadcast with Midco's cloud DVR so we gave up trying to listen and watch. It seems like every other ESPN announcer mentions multiple times that it is Bizon, not "bye son" except for these jokers.
