I guess that is a good synopsis...
Pretty good synopsis, however, you forgot the part about us being arrogant and annoying just like coach Choate.

Ya, I love the annoying coach Choate part...have they forgotten they have the most annoying coach of all time in Petrino, the most annoying next to his brother that is.
I think Stitt is far more annoying than either of the Petrinos.

Man I just lost 30 minutes of my life I will never get back. About the only sane poster was Celtic Cat and the davey dude from UI.

I hope we stay within reach, if its a close game I consider that a win.


I love the Bobcats and the Miami Hurricanes an unhealthy level

Ha ha! Very true.

I was surprised how many of their staffers expect a loss.

A win would be awesome for us, but I also feel less than a two score loss may be a positive.

I am cautiously optimistic, however the coaches have been pretty good about not disclosing much.

We will see how we are in some key areas, QB being a big one. If Bruggman/Messingham can spread the ball around when we need to and the defense provide a plus two we will get it done.

If I can finish up early enough today I am headed out, otherwise leaving in the early a.m.

Last season they went 4-8 and their fans are talking perhaps a conference championship and a bowl game this year. Hard to understand. Their four wins came vs. FCS Wofford (5-6) 41-38, Troy (4-8) 19-16, LA Monroe (2-11) 27-13 and Texas State (3-9) 38-31.
They did play Southern Cal (9-59) and Auburn (34-56) last year, but it's hard separating those two from the rest of the schedule. They gave up 45 to Ohio, Appy State-47, Arkansas State-49, South Alabama-52, New Mexico State-55. Digging into the 2016 roster a bit shows some experience and talent in the secondary. Hard to tell tho'. These are guys who started the last year or two. The defensive line is potentially huge and returns a couple of studs. But the unit is still very suspect.
The offense looks solid. Talent at QB, receivers and a big, experienced offensive line.
This looks like another opener with Eastern. If our defense hasn't improved by a bunch Idaho is going to put up numbers.
In games like this special teams are often the difference. And the CATS can't give Idaho any short field turnovers....limited mistakes.
This game should be very interesting. The Bobcats will go in as underdogs for sure, but it is a game they can win.
That's why our kicking game worries me. Bad punts will cost us I fear.

man their board is difficult to handle.

I can't get over their rational, or lack thereof about attendance! it's like they've conceded the fact that their attendance will suck no matter what. nothing will change the fact that their attendance will blow. history has shown that the only thing that increased their attendance even a smidge was playing fbs ball.

I honestly can't grasp the logic. it's like saying they should play in the nfl because obviously they'd draw closer to 20,000 playing the seahawks than they will playing northern Colorado... #-o

my take is their fans have conceded they suck. they agreed that they are a lost cause. it's impossible that they could join the big sky and be national contenders. and even if they do...fans won't come. facilities won't change. if this is truly the case, then I don't think they should have sports at all. it's a complete waste of money. they don't believe they can win, and if they do win they are convinced the fanbase won't change. on that note, if they were national contenders in the fcs and their attendance didn't increase, they'd be the first to ever have that happen to them in the history of our division. and if that happened, i'd want them as far away from the big sky as possible.

I left that place almost feeling bad for them. sorry for them that they have no faith in their team or their program. sadly that they don't understand winning boosts programs in nearly every aspect. sad that they are so delusional they can't se what is right in front of their face!

getting real excited for tomorrow night though! =D^

I swear, I'm about ready to jump out of my skin waiting for tomorrow! I've been half tempted to start a Gameday thread with stat comparisons of both teams, but I've been waiting for someone with that upper tier* touch to start it, because if I started it, it wouldn't be upper tier 8-[

I agree. I have been hoping somebody with some talent would set up a gameday thread a week or two ahead of each game.
Included in thread, links to all media relevent to the game, links to all game day broadcasts (cable, satellite, rabbit ears, online, radio)
Most of the threads here could've been included as well as links to competitors blog.

Just a thought. Anyone?

Have a blast! I'll be glued to the computer, probably doing updates in the game day thread if no one else is.
