Marvin Turk dropped a sure winning touchdown against Reno once. We were 1-5 and needed to block a field goal in Weber and win the rest just to finish 6-5 one year. Eastern came back from 18 down in the last 9 minutes and beat us at home, AT HOME! 7-4 was a great year. There were many years that we were not Elite under Don Read. I am grateful to him for lighting a fire that is now griz football, but there were some gut wrenching losses in those years.
Maybe it the memories of those years that allow me to be calm in these years. It is just a game and the season will play out how it is supposed to.
In 2004, UM scored 19 in the 4Q to lose 41-29 to SHSU. Of course, we had a great senior QB who hadn't quite hit his stride yet that year, so totally different.
Last year we scored 20 in the 4th quarter to lose 42-37 to EWU. And we scored 14 in the 4th to lose 42-35 to CCU.
