FLASHBACK to 2015 preseason polls, and where everyone ended the season

Media Pol 2015 ......................Final Rank
1. Eastern Washington ................. 6
2. Montana State ........................ 9
3. Montana ............................... 3
3. Idaho State ........................... 12
5. Cal Poly ............................... 10
6. Northern Arizona ................... 5
7. Sacramento State .................. 13
8. Southern Utah ....................... 1
9. North Dakota ........................ 4
10. Weber State ....................... 7
11. UC Davis ............................ 11
12. Portland State .................... 2
13. Northern Colorado ............... 8

So the only one they got right last year was UM. The 1st, 2nd, and 4th place finishers were all picked 8th or worse in preseason, and only 1 of the top 5 picks ended up in the top 5.

FLASHBACK to Coaches Poll -- How did they do?

Coaches’ Preseason Poll 2015
1. Montana State ..................9
2. Eastern Washington...........6
3. Montana.........................3
4. Cal Poly.........................10
5. Northern Arizona.............5
6. Idaho State....................12
7. Sacramento State...........13
8. Southern Utah................1
9. Portland State................2
9. North Dakota..................4
11. Weber State.................7
12. UC Davis......................11
13. Northern Colorado.........8

So the Coaches were a little more accurate than the Media last year, at least getting 2 of the top 5 picks right. Still kinda a crap shoot.

Yup..... and I do like the idea that the team picked 8th last year won the Big Sky! =D^


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

I saw this and had two thoughts. #1) I would rather see us try and do like Southern Utah did last year and move up from #8 to hopefully a #1 or #2 spot to end this season. #2) I wonder if we would have been picked in the top 5 of either or both polls if Prukop was coming back for his senior season.

In the end, Choate and company will have their hands full this season. I have talked to Husky fans that have told me that we got a great coach in this guy and that he will have much success. Hope they are right and I am excited to see us in action and excited to see a team that will be playing with a desire and passion to play. Maybe the ranking will add a little more fuel to the fire.


Punters are people too!!

If Tyler Bruggman's head and heart are in the right place #8 will not happen. This kid truly has all the other stuff and maybe it's some kind of fate how his and Coach Choate's trails have rejoined.

That's what I thought this Bobcat team is feeling

side note - I talked with Kylie Fitts last week, Blake's best buddy growing up. Fitts was coaching a camp my son was at here in SLC. For a pre-season FBS All-American and All-Pac12 stud, Fitts was one of the most level headed, gentle, patient, and kind 270# athletic freaks I've ever run in to! I did ask him about what the possibility was of him coming to MSU when he left UCLA, and he said he LOVES Bozeman, spends time there every summer with his bud fly-fishing, and was truly looking hard at playing for us. In the end, Pac12 was best fit for him, and I think he will be a round 3-5 draft pick and will play on Sundays.
