The way that offense was starting to hum…..I have always thought that team robin was building would have been so special in the years to come.

And then trying to cram Johnson’s creativity into Mick’s boring-ass offensive scheme….ugh.

A couple other observations from that 2011 squad. That offensive line had some absolute studs in Will Poehls, Danny Kistler, Kavario Middleton and Charles burton. Burton is still in Missoula as a Sheriff I believe. Sambrano and Canada were awesome. I don’t know that I’d call them underrated but they were damn good players. Dan Moore was an absolute wrecking ball. JJ was such a baller. Top 5 QB at UM IMO. JP Kanongataa, still one of my favorite players. Love the reckless abandon he played with. Caleb (Dirty) McSurdy was a beast. Trumaine Johnson, don’t know if we will have a player that capable at the CB position again, and if we do we would be hard pressed to keep him. He was truly a lockdown corner and an athletic specimen. Last observation, I miss the screen game and wish rosy and company could put their heads together to dial up a few screen packages similar to what Jonathan smith ran. Between rosy, phoenecie, and pease the offense should have all kinds of wrinkles they could add with all that experience and knowledge.

Do we have the full 2009 App State game on here? If so, disregard.

Hot take: Kavario Middleton was vastly underutilized. As was Antoin Moutra.

Yes. But it could be posted 1.79 million times and still be worthy of another!

Not sure if these games have been posted, but I’m including them as “Instant Classics”.

EverettGriz · Jul 24, 2022

Damn. Can’t find the whole game. Highlights anyone??

hm.grwn.grizfan · Jul 24, 2022

I wish there was a recording of the central Arkansas game in 2011. Can’t find that one. Also wish I could find the app state game in Missoula (not 09’) the year we had travan van. He might be the most underrated Griz running back ever. Another game I wish I could find is the cal poly game that went to either overtime or double overtime and we won on a blocked PAT. I know it was during the Delaney years and we had Tripp, Coyle and kanongataa as LBs

So, a few things about this game:

A) the two roughing the passer penalties were absolute bullshit
B) Robertson and Hicks-Onu were a lethal one/two punch and are going to be hard to replace
C) A healthy Cam and healthy Sulser were dangerous
D) If Cam had hit Roberts either time he was open in the first half it’s a much different game
E) Those UW fellas seemed surprised at how hard our guys hit :lol:

It was October of 2013, (I was with my son's scout troop on a camping trip and trying to follow the game feed on my phone. LOL)

It was actually a field goal that Tripp blocked that would have put Poly up 10 with two minutes left. JJ marched us down the field mostly using Clay Pierson and Cam Warren, he hit Pierson on a 4th and goal with 12 seconds left. In the OT Ellis Henderson caught an early TD and then Coyle picked off a pass to seal it. GREAT GAME, not going to miss that Poly triple option in the future.

Top 5 best RB's we've had since 1985 and I used to love bellowing "First Down CANADA!" at Cassidy's in Plentywood. (Now it's becoming a Cats bar so I'm kinda happy about Covid, and Monkeypox)

Here's the 2013 home game against App State. I'll try to get that Cal Poly game up soon as well.
