The Bobcat Nation

At least on paper I don't recall seeing a bigger mismatch than this. Looking at the rosters, staffs, etc. it makes me wonder when and why this game was even scheduled?? Okay, money, but this thing can't be healthy for either team. Even Idaho State would be a stretch. Shame on Eastern for even scheduling this...game. And while I'm at it, the Bobcat-Black Hills contest might not be far behind. There are many more qualified, beatable opponents in the area.

I doubt EWU leaves the starters in for even a full half.

Score Prediction:

EWU: As many points as they want.
Dillon: As many points as EWU wants them to have.

I thought it was bad when ISU played them, this is ridiculous. If screecher beagle is reading this, then I think Western only wins by a field goal.

Could be a hit to EWU's D if Western gets anything going.

Looking for anything I can find to help Western and taking a page out of the Arkansas State Fan Handbook, the following should be noted:

Dillon Altitude 5,240' vs. Cheney-2,352'= minus 2,888'. Has to be good for the boys from Dillon on a going forward molecular basis.
Expected UV 6 out of 12. Can't hurt, I guess
Pollen count 7.70 out of 12
Visibility 10 miles???
Temp 72 degrees...heat index 77 degrees. Again????
Dew point 50 degrees so no fog. That might not help
PM 2.5 ("good" it says). So...that's good.
Barometric pressure 29.6. Probably much better than the Bulldogs OC's blood pressure.
Zero % chance of rain...again, not helpful

When you look at the Western roster and see 76 kids from Montana and some from tiny places like Valier, Clancey, Charlo, Twin Bridges, Richey and Ronan you gotta be hoping for the Bulldogs.

PS there is one guy listed from Cheney. Spy?

This game is definitely a mismatch, hate seeing it on the schedule...

Nothing against Western, but this game should not have been scheduled. With another 12 game year, it looked like a schedule filler, and we have a tough time bringing in FCS teams for a non-conference home/home, where EWU gets the first home game.

I'd be shocked if EWU's starters play past half time and I think a lot of starters won't even play period.

Good luck to the Cats this Saturday, should be a good game...

I am rooting for Western

But of course

I expect as a Montana native you're cheering for Western right?

My better half will be as she's an alum...

Get over this way for some golf...

Good luck to your Cats this year except in a few weeks...

If ewu was playing the University of Hell, I would root for Satan

I watched the first three quarters of this game and I'm taking back my "this game defies the laws of nature" attitude. Western fought like hell! They DID NOT back down. They STOOD THEIR GROUND!! The score could have been uglier, but I'm tipping my hat to the Bulldogs and their staff.
