WTF?
It's more appropriate to point out that it was against the worst program in the MVFC.

We should get a decent idea at how good not only Sacramento State is but how good Weber State is as they square off in Sacramento this coming weekend.

I didn't get to watch anything, but based on the box scores I'd pick the Cats over EWU and UM.

The Griz look exactly like we did last year. Not promising.
Montana State has a good defense. Well, good for the Big Sky. And the worst passing game I have EVER seen in my life. I can't believe we couldn't figure that shit out last year. Embarrassing.

The Griz have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. I'm willing to wait until after the EWU and PSU games to say yay or nay on whether or not it's going to come together.JALMOND wrote:Griz and EWU seem pretty ordinary this year.Silenoz wrote: I didn't get to watch anything, but based on the box scores I'd pick the Cats over EWU and UM.

Griz could recover nicely with wins there. EWU loses, things could be bleak for the Eagles.Grizalltheway wrote:The Griz have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball.

EWU's gotta beat Fordham, I think. The plus there is that Fordham looks just about as disappointing as Eastern does.JALMOND wrote:Griz could recover nicely with wins there.

Re: How Bad is the Big Sky Going to Be?
Yup. Hornets took care of business against a very weak opponent. I will admit they look a lot better than I expected though. Defense dumping Sears' 5-2 and going with a 4-3 has made all the difference so far as the Hornets are creating TOs. Offense...meh. QB is still getting his D1 legs but threw some great passes in stride for TDs last week. We'll see if he can build off of it.kalm wrote:Not on the Hornet wagon yet.

Re: How Bad is the Big Sky Going to Be?
I expected this game to be an easy win for Weebs heading into the season so long as you guys found a QB. With the Hornets playing like they are and getting this one at home, I think this will be a lot closer now. Should be a pretty good game.Wildcat Ryan wrote:kalm wrote:

The worst MVFC program - Missouri State
South Dakota State still won
You want to talk about overrated? How about #6 EWU putting up 73 yards of total offense over the last 3 quarters of their game and losing 40-13, at home.
How about unranked Montana still be overrated and losing to Washington by 56. Yeah, Washington is pretty good but by gawd.

I as a Weber fan have become pretty nervous about the game, regardless of how "bad" Incarnate Word is you guys still put the hurt on them. And are now playing with confidence. Weber on the other hand is coming off an emotional loss and heading into a Stadium where they haven't won since 2008. The Cats looked really good in their loss to California, but was it a fluke or is Weber the real deal? I guess we will see.
Weber has had some surprising players step it up so far this year including our senior quarterback Stefan Cantwell who is 35-58-0 with 594 yards and 3 touchdowns, he has also ran for 88 yards and 2 more touchdowns. Our redshirt freshman WR Rashid Shaheed who had 149 receiving yards, 1 touchdown against Cal. Plus our defense has been pretty solid in our first two games.
Saturday's game just became much more important for both schools.

Best team we've EVER played, in the history of the program you mean
Not to stick up for the Griz or anything since we'll be another 6-5 or 7-4 team I bet, but let's not pretend we can't just completely throw that game out the window

Re: How Bad is the Big Sky Going to Be?
And how the hell can we be overrated if we aren't ranked and haven't been all season? But I'm sure #21 UNI, who needed OT to beat an average at best Cal Poly, would have given UW all they could handle.Silenoz wrote:"Pretty good"clenz wrote: How about unranked Montana still be overrated and losing to Washington by 56.

We got a new AD last spring so I think Sears is gone unless he goes on some magical playoff run...and that ain't gonna happen.Wildcat Ryan wrote:SDHornet wrote: More important to Sears more than anyone else. Can't wait 'til he is gone. I'm hoping Orr has the new HC in by Christmas.

So where does ISU fit in after beating an FBS team? IMHO, they will win a few games this year in conference.

Better qualify that, SD. Sac hasn't made a playoff run AT THE D-I LEVEL. The Hornets were in the D-II playoffs at least once during the 80s that I know of, and perhaps more. Sac has also played in minor bowls, too....SDHornet wrote:I when people think a playoff run will save Sears' job...not because it wouldn't (it probably would), but because that is something the Hornets have never done...and the thought that it "could" happen following two 2-win seasons is downrightSuperHornet wrote:
