Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

I miss Lakes JK But thankfully these griz fans are picking up on his tactic of highjacking threads. They must be snowed in already with too much time on their hands. I hope their team looks past Central Arkansas like these fans are.

I would laugh my ass off over how fast they would disappear. Why does every team's fanbase have a couple of weirdos that only show up on someone else's board when they (might) play each other? IF the Panthers win, and IF the Grizzlies win - have at it; welcome to the board and let's talk some #%*&! Until then, why don't you go to a board of your own and talk about THIS week's opponent. Total lack of respect for your current opponent.

Three points I want to address before I put these clowns on ignore (with several Bizon brethren):

1. Hilarious that you think I'm implying that your attitude reflects how lightly your team is taking the game.

2. You're showing a total lack of respect for Central Arkansas. They made the field and won a game already. Have a little class and respect THIS week's opponent.

3. If you weren't afraid of playing us, why come here and start anything if we're not your opponent this week? Why be here at all? Why openly root for Wofford's success on several threads here? Give me a break.

Welcome to the ignore feature - I tried to see if you had anything good to say, not having too much experience with Griz fans, but alas, you're obviously on the wrong end of the rationality scale as far as your team's fans go, so goodbye.

Interesting phenomenon Saturday. A school about the size of Iowa's well-respected Grinnell, Coe and Cornell colleges, with comparable admissions requirements and academic standards, is coming to town. About one of six males on campus is on the football team, but there is no phys ed or rec or similar major to hide jocks who do not take academics seriously. They are talented and well coached by a staff that is experienced and that has its priorities in order. They will play hard and clean to the last whistle. Hey, and they might win. Beware the short-haired dog.

You predicting no penalties? Gonna hold you to that! (Get it?)

And Hey! Don't compare yourself to Coe College...I don't see anyone from Wofford in the NFL running like Freddie Jackson in Buffalo (before injury)

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

You do realize that fans looking forward to games has no effect on our team and how they prepare for a game.

HONEST question...have there been any Montana players that were either NFL offensive or defensive MVP? I'm not familiar with the history of griz in the pros.

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

lawdog, is Wofford as big of whack-job-liberal/progressive/socialist institution as Cornell or Grinnell are? I'd be careful comparing your institution to the those two.

Wofford would probably be considered politically moderate, with a few on both extremes; politics in the Carolinas is largely a common sense matter, and parties do not matter as much as they used to. Wofford did host a national Republican debate a couple weeks ago.

Loved the Sports Illustrated article on Jackson; too bad he got hurt. And Marv Levy, Coe alum, is one of my favorite NFL personalities ever; famous for saying before every game, "where would you rather be than right here, right now?" No, Wofford currently does not have an NFL player, but it does have a very respected NFL team owner, being Jerry Richardson, owner of the Carolina Panthers (who caught passes back in the day from Johnny Unitas). Also Wofford is fortunate and proud to count Fisher DeBerry, Hall of Fame former coach of the Air Force Academy, as an alum.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Richardson http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher_DeBerry

and I have heard of the kicker...only because of fantasy. Good job. Call me when you get an NFL MVP, AFC MVP, and Super Bowl MVP

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

Back to the topic at hand:
Anyone think its time to bust out a kick-off/punt return for a TD? we have not had one all year.

Since the question was about MVPs:

I'm not sure there's such a thing as an AFC MVP, or that UNI every had one. We have had a defensive POY.

Yup, Bryce Puap, my bad. It was defensive POY...forgot there was a difference between POY and MVP

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

Love this quote from Rennie in the Des Moines Register: “We’re not saving anybody. For us 18 seniors, these are the last four games of our careers possibly. We’re going to make it work, no matter what, even if we come out with a peg leg.”

Speaking of that article, did anyone notice the picture that was on the print copy of the paper? They said it was Rennie, however unless my eyes are playing tricks on me I am pretty sure it was Tre'Darrius Canady. Granted with being the same number, pretty easy mistake but if they dedicated a little more coverge to UNI maybe they would notice that. I guess I should be happy they at least had the right team!

Re: Up Next: Wofford (Playoff edition)

I'm begging to be wrong on this prediction, but I have a funny feeling that this awkward offensive style is going to be a problem for us, and we may not see the grizzlies after all.

Here's hoping I'm wrong...
