Congrats MrTitleist!

Great game to start the season...I couldn't help to think as I watched that there are a few teams in the Big Sky that could/should be a part of an expanded MWC eventually.

Montana certainly, along with Montana State, Idaho State, and even though they're not in the Big Sky I also see Idaho being part of the MWC as making some sense.

I'd trade a few of these schools for a Hawaii or a San Jose State.

Also: I'd love to see NDSU as a part of the MWC.

They struggle to fill a barn that can hold 15K people. They belong in the FCS, maybe lower.

Okay, so perhaps I was being too kind to the folks in Moscow...

I'll need to go all the way back to 1963 to consider how long it's been since my mind went AWOL.

On the other hand, I've always had a soft spot in my heart for Idaho State.

P.S. It took this long for someone to say something about Idaho State?
 
No "first year coach" "don't have his guys yet" excuses yesterday. Was a great game with a great final.

All I heard about him was offense but their defense looked pretty good considering their size against a much larger o-line/power offense etc.
 
My poor, Fireball soaked liver survived! Holy shit yesterday was awesome. So much fun. Probably the best game I've seen in person. Stitt f'ing brought it to the Bison. Rolling up almost 600 yards on one of the best defenses in FCS.. whooowheee. Great start to college football.

Now to find some water and some greasy tacos......

Mmmmmm Fireball........ Makes me thirsty just thinking about it.
 
This is exactly why I was behind Stitt as the hire at Wyoming after DC was fired. (Although everyone here basically told me I was off my rocker)

I will say that I like the Bohl hire but what I have seen Stitt do over the years with far inferior talent is downright incredible. Mines often had the size and speed of a high school team yet set numerous D2 records on the offensive side of the ball. MInes endured 50 years of losing badly before Stitt arrived.

Think about this. Stitt inherited a power running team at Montana which is far from the type of team you would want to run his offense. In game 1, Stitt knocks off the 4 time defending National Champs that returns one of the best QBs in the country. Could Wyoming have beat NDSU last year? I would say unlikely.

This post is not a knock on Bohl as I am excited for the future of the program. But Stitt is one of the best coaching minds in the country and has been for years even if he was completely unnoticed by the general public. BTW, Stitt is not a Joe Glenn type of a coach either. There are many former Mines players that do not care for Stitt at all but they all do respect him as a coach and what he helped achieve.

No, but we beat Montana last year with a first year head coach who changed the offensive philosophy from a spread to a power running offense. NDSU was also replacing a lot of starters.

I like Stitt, but did not care for his aggressive play-calling the first half. Good win for Montana.

So your saying the Montana team from a year ago that couldn't beat Wyoming is that different today? It only took one year for them to change that much?

Montana did lose to NDSU in Fargo last year by 12. To me, it looked like Montana's D really stepped up in this game.

Comparing last years NDSU team to this years team isn't a close comparison. Their offense will be very good but their defense isn't close to the same team. They lost a ton on defense.

I do believe Stitt is a good coach though and I predicted Montana would beat NDSU at home or had a good shot at it because of Stitt's innovative offense and 8 returning starters on defense for Montana.

Would I rather have Stitt than Bohl though? Right now I would say no. Who knows though in a couple years. Guess we will see how things turn out. I'm sure if Bohl doesn't do well for some reason and Stitt does do well at Montana then he will be the next coach here. I have a feeling Bohl will be just fine though.
 
Let's be honest here. NDSU los that game with atrocious play calling late. After Montana kicked that field goal putting them down 4, NDSU should've ran the ball, milked the clock and made Montana use their timeouts. But they threw the ball on 2nd and 3rd down giving Montana free timeouts. If Bohl was at NDSU, they would've won that game. Not a knock against Montana, but NDSU gave that game away.

Stitt calls a football game like a teenager playing Madden.. and I love it. That's what sets him a part from his peers.. he's not afraid to make calls that would get him fired in many places.
