Bonus Note for #53: Bobcat legend Brick Breeden was assigned jersey #53 during the 1926 season, although what game photos that exist from the era don't show obvious signs of including numbers. Known more for his exploits on the hardwood, first as an All-America for the famed Golden Bobcats and later as a long-time MSU basketball coach and administrator, Breeden was a tackle from 1926-28, one of the most successful three-year runs in Montana State's pre-World War II existence. In 1926, Montana State beat Colorado, Wyoming and BYU, and in the first two of those three seasons finished without a loss in the powerful Rocky Mountain Conference. Montana State's 4-0 record wasn't enough to best 5-0 Utah, as the Utes claimed the league title by virtue of having played more games.

1937, Joseph "Joe" Gaab. Game Warden in and around Park County. Had no idea he played for the CATS but I can see why now. That man was rock solid. A true gentleman. Yes, even for a Game Warden.

Apparently this year's Gold Rush T-Shirts will be revealed in parts this week.
This interests me more than the fad of baby gender reveals :)

Ron Euland's number will remained unoccupied this season in his honor.

#50
Unoccupied in honor of Ron Ueland: The Bobcat family lost a treasured member with Ron Ueland's passing in the spring, and as a tribute Ueland's former jersey number, 50, will remain unoccupied this season. Montana State football's fortunes dipped slightly around the turn of the 1970s, when three men in five years served as head coach. Sonny Holland faced some work when he took over before the 1971 season, returning to his alma mater from Western Montana College, and he was never shy about crediting Ueland for getting things turned around. Holland plugged in the former Butte Central star in at middle linebacker during his first season, and for three years Ueland quarterbacked MSU's outstanding defenses that featured other stars such as Bill Kollar and Brad Daws. The Cats won the 1972 Big Sky Championship, and Holland always maintained that Ueland's presence helped usher in a glorious decade-and-a-half that featured two national championships and five Big Sky crowns. But Ueland's impact reached far beyond football, and for the remainder of his life and beyond he remained emblematic of how Montanans apply skills and instincts honed on the football field and in the classrooms at MSU (and other schools) into careers and lives that benefit their communities and the state. Ueland was a successful businessman who never really left his roots in agriculture and, particularly, Butte.
