I know this is a long ways off but it seems like this could be the year that they meet up in the Brawl of the Wild and then in the playoffs as well.

Does it happen?
Will it be bigger than the Brawl?
Will Alpha show up?
Or perhaps more importantly...does AZ show up?
Will it be a "jumping of the shark" moment in the UM/MSU history?

Thinking I may want to find tickets for this one.

If it happens....the tix will be in short supply as well as scalped one's being at a super high premium.

Wouldn't that require MSU to win in the playoffs?

I do believe we made it to the quarter finals the last time we were in the playoffs in 06 . Had to travel to App State where we lost to the best team in the country like everyone else. If we make the playoffs this year (we will) and if we are able to host, the Cats will WIN! Then we will see what happens. MSU will be no worse than 8-3.

How awesome it would be if the Committee sent MSU to Delaware....and MSU won! 89 would kill himself.

Like last time a Big Sky came to Newark?

How awesome it would be if Katy Perry came your house... and had sex with you! More likely than your scenario.

Here's a trivia question for you... when was the last time the Hens played a Big Sky opponent in the playoffs and didn't score 49 points on the way to victory?

CAA CAA



Back on topic, I think we could actually sell out a playoff game for once if it happens! Assuming we're at home. Of course knowing how hard it is to beat a team twice, I'd be extremely nervious if my team won the brawl and then had to face the same team 2-3 weeks later

... just 11 short seasons ago...seems like yesterday.

Not our fault if the Big Sky teams don't last long enough in the playoffs to make another trip.

And don't fuck up my thread you labia. This was supposed to be about MSU/UM and what could possibly happen this year so if you have nothing to do but hijack and stir up shit, go dig in your backyard and bury your head.

Most defintely ECB that makes your teams lose.

You spin me right round baby right round...like a broken record baby...right round round round



Grandpa...tell me about the time the Mighty Hens went to Missoula and destroyed those terrible Grizzly Bears 49 to 48!

I'd be bitter too if half the list of people who have won in Missoula were CAA teams.

Not bitter at all, 89, it happened 18 seasons ago ...just think it's hilarious that it's brought up here so often when this argument comes around...Shit, I think the whole damn argument is f'n hilarious ...Everyone here gets it...the CAA is #1 ...Do we really need to bring up things from 11 and 18 seasons ago to make that point?

Considering it was that long ago that another Big Sky team has made the semis.... YES!

Not you. Henhole decides to throw shit in my/Griz fans threads just to get them fucked up.

I'm sorry too grizza. I didn't mean to hijack your fantasy thread. It's really Montana State's fault anyway. 1-3 in the playoffs in the last 20 years really limits your chances of meeting.

Can't argue with that. We'll get there and a lot sooner than most think. Probably not this year unless the defense does a complete 180 in the next three weeks. We are supposed to get three of our better defenders back so we'll see what happens.

Unless MSU can get their defense fixed ie get healthy then they will struggle to get the wins necessary to make the playoffs.

Higgins has gone off before in blizzard conditions and just torched MSU before and it can happen again with our defense. Got a lot of work to do before then starting with Idaho State.

If MSU misses the playoffs (pulls a UNI as it were), how close to the hot seat is Rob Ash? I figure next season would be playoffs-or-bust

I dunno, considering all that he has done, getting NCAA APR penalties lifted, improved recruiting & improving the culture of the MSU football team I dont think it is the end if he doesn't make it. The powers that be hired him to do those things first so I dont see them firing him if he doesn't get to the playoffs. The fans of course are another story, and he will be under a lot of pressure from them if it doesn't happen. A lot of fans will give some leadway though because the days of the drug arrests, and SI articles are still pretty vivid in our memories.

My best guess is that AZ is just about guaranteed to show up should Griz-Cat II take place in the Chipper.

It's CAT/griz.
