maybe they are trying to block opponent’s fans from the last game?

I’d contact them by phone and try to purchase.

A couple former Ags playing in France!

that was a little dig at the article about the local team with a cowboy hat wearing coach!

Sorry - I was in the wrong thread. Thought that was reply to my comment about Colorado.

they brought in a lot of new players and it takes time to gel!

I had the same thoughts about UNC - they didn’t look good on either side of the ball. The 24-0 lead seemed more indicative of the gap between the teams than the final score

I didn’t realize Greeley is about 5000 feet - probably a big cause of Harper’s crsmps

in 1980, we played Sac at Hughes on October 4 (4th game of the season). The field by then was mostly first between the 30’s. Temperature was a crisp 110 for the 1:00 kickoff. Horrible conditions

I thought he was cramping- you could see him trying to stretch both calves to work them out.

It’s a W - not a masterpiece but a win none the less. Defense was outstanding - take away the fluky 50 TD before the half (got them back in it) and we hold them below 300 yards and 10 points!

Harper’s performance in the first half (and the game plan to put him in situations where he should shine) may have saved the season. A loss there and the playoff possibilities get much tougher. I think the defense made adjustments to take away those crossing patterns and nice patterns to Fisher . Maybe the cramps had an impact also. But, in the end, we walk out of Greeley with another win.

Dial up the pressure this week and hopefully 2 halves of solid offense. Another must win coming up.

20-3 now with 11 to go in 3rd. MSU outgaining them 307-80.

Harper looks like he might be dealing with leg cramps. He’s out of his groove

pulling the 71 new players excuse in the eighth game seems like a weak call. There’s a bunch of schools out there bringing in large numbers that seem to be able to figure things out.

I’ll back the Griz just cuz we’re more likely to be battling Sac than Montana for a playoff spot.

I took it to mean we’ll see him on kick coverages to get some of the defensive players a break. Good to hear they are focusing on kickoffs!

We visited Toronto in early June when the Blue Jays were able 5 games back of New York. I bought a Jays hat that first day to blend in (last thing I wanted to do on vacation was discuss US politics)….and since then they’ve been in a nice roll.

You’re welcome, Toronto!

So, Lil’ Yachty is NOT a yacht rock tribute act? Boy, I would have been in for a shock!

Did anyone here go to Brewfest? I was at an alumni gathering at the athletic facility and it looked much smaller and more subdued than in the past. Looked like patrons had wrist bands with punch spots to limit the number of drinks.

Plough often says, with regard to support, 'We aren't where we want to be, but we are much better than we were'.

I think we're gonna need a big boast in support from Mrak Hall (or is it now central campus) is order to bring in more out of state players and continue to bring in transfers as grad students. Those scholarships cost (or will cost for grad transfers) twice the cost of an in-state which limits us to about 10 or them on the roster. I don't think that HAS to be the case.....seems like Chancellor could decide to charge the program the same. I'd be curious how other UC's handle out-of-state and/or grad transfers in terms of cost of a scholarship. If that doesn't happen, we'll need more external support to pump up the scholarship budget.

maybe in the playoffs!

its a challenge for us to get them on the schedule. their first game was Sept 20 which would have been our 3 game, even in a normal year (without the zero week and bye). They don't want to come out here for their opener vs a team with 2 games, and traveling cross country for us right before the conference opener isn't ideal. That being said, some of the Ivy's have been out to USD and Poly in the past. I'm not sure if they will opt in to the 12-game schedule (i doubt it) and that will make it even less likely.

can we get the women's softball team to come out and throw the socks toward the top of the stands?

I’m hoping they ziplone Gunrock from the tower into the stadium for the Causeway!

NAU is a solid team and this was a very good victory. The defensive injuries had us in slow down mode in the first half (less possessions for the defense) which isn’t our strong point; worse. The few times we went fast in the first half, the offense didn’t look settled and the results weren’t good.

Special teams still haunt us. I give Riddick a pass on the miss -bad snap led to missed timing and not so great hold (good play just to get the ball set). Not good execution for a 50-yard kick.

But….the kickoffs are aging me. Kicker doesn’t seem to have the leg to get in the end zone, so ‘trying’ to pin the receiver. But poor execution (returner gets a running start on kick at the 30) and poor tackling when he does execute gives them possession at the 45 or better. My seat mate (teammate) and I yell ‘kick it out of bounds’….starting at the 35 seems like a positive! It’s not helping that injuries are forcing us to put guys out there that may not be ready. I’d hate this to cost us games down the road.

Otherwise, great win. Tough, talented team. Fun atmosphere but we need to get Darius back on the mic, brand new father or not!!
