so how we feeling about betting man eck? Yikers

Rumors he interviewed or is thinking about the New Mexico job. Mendenhall was there for a cup of coffee.

Idaho:
It's cold.
Getting whooped.
Stopped caring.
Time to go home.

Montana State:

Idaho qb Layne talked a big game about playing in the cold before this game too…

What the actual hell is eck doing

Is it Christmas or is Idaho gifting early this year?

Is this the critter you’re looking for?

I'm partial to snow dogs!

wolfpackers here in Raleigh are too.

Hope Eck has a two minute press conference. Nothing to say.

Vigen is looking like a steely-eyed missle man. He has the team, they are rolling.

Ooof...not worth watching...

Not watching but based on how the scoring has gone it reminds me of our game last week. 1st quarter was close but once the better team got rolling, it was a wrap.

I’ve only watched the Davis game and the 3rd quarter of this game but Montana State looks light years better than anyone I’ve seen in the FCS. It’s not even close.

They don’t have a weakness.

Montana State is very good all around. The part I don’t understand why they talk about “Tommy” like the second coming. He is a good quarterback who can scramble but not really a prolific passer. Which maybe I’m biased to the historical west coast style of aerial domination equaling excellence. What I see more is that literally everyone he can give the ball to is good, the guys up front give him as much time as he wants, and because nobody really challenged them in the first half of the season, pretty much all positions 2 or 3 deep are experienced with game reps. I think excellence on the part of the nameless guys is making him look great but the Montana media really wants it to be all about him. Which maybe doesn’t matter as long as they keep winning. And certainly what Idaho illustrated is you cannot give Montana State a short field over and over again.

52 - 19 Final, MSU.

Mellows had 174 yds passing and 131 rushing.

He really is a good player and his strength is his speed and decision making with the ball. His ability to take off with the ball at any time makes all the other skill players better. Because the defenses key on him.
The fans over the hill at Montana are convinced that he is the only player the cats have and they will fall apart next year when he leaves. I completely disagree and it sounds like you do too.

Eck becoming the UNM coach, looks like we won’t be escaping him being in proximity to us haha

I think the Cats will have plenty of talent next year and a lot of guys with game reps. Any player that requires double coverage means someone is uncovered. Any FCS team that goes deep in the playoffs does run the risk of the coaching staff being purchased by a bigger fish or now potentially individual players. That risk may be low but is nonzero. Some of UM’s strengths include running their mouths and homecooking with Big Sky refs and the FCS committee, which isn’t what I’d want to hang my hat on. But it makes for compatible roommates with EWU and Sac State.

if he succeeds, he'd be at a P2 program by the time Davis is in FBS. Then again, New Mexico is a tough place to coach st. Still better than NMSU or Utep.
