Golden Coolie Questions

[rfischer94]

Is it time for the audio department at Bobcat Stadium to start having some fun with touchdowns? Perhaps the Taco Bell "ring" when Taco Dowler makes it into the blue, or if Rocky Lencioni gets in, play the Rocky theme song Gonna fly now. Heck, Brock Steel gets a sack and the sound effects for Wolverines Claws extending blows across the speaker system. Think of it...AWESOME!

where did the original Great Falls Select fall in that order?

Good show this week…but one correction.

Lamson has a completion percentage of 73.4% this year according to colter nuanez. Higher than Lulay and I think we are throwing it more than when Lulay played.

Think Lamson might be the most accurate qb we’ve had ever….

Forgot to ask for some questions. Send them fast if you have one.

I haven't looked at the stats but I feel like Lulay in that Don Bailey offense tossed it around the yard a lot after Ryan Johnson graduated.

[Run-the-ball]

What part of the team gives you the most concern? (Knowing special teams is obviously the number one answer, what is number two?)

What kind of signs or shirts should be made for Cat-fizz? I’d like to see some griz centers in ballerina outfits spinning/rotating.

It's getting harder to find older stats online now, which is frustrating.

As far as I can tell, Lulay never went over 60%, his career finished at 57.0%. According to the MSU record books he's not in the top 10 season for completion percentage.

Top 10 Seasons:
1. 67.8% Mellott 2024
2. 66% McGhee 2012
3. 66% McGhee 2013
4. 65% Prukop 2014
5. 62.8% Prukop 2015
6. 62.7% McGhee 2010
7. 62.2% McKay 2021
8. 62.1% Carpenter 2006
9. 61.6% Rovig 2019
10. 61% Mellott 2022
10. 61% McGhee 2011

Every season McGhee had was top 10 all time in completion %.

Lamson is on pace to shatter that record.

And to your question Vim, yes Lulay slung it around a lot. 490 attempts in 2004, 406 in 2003 and 388 in 2005, good for 2nd, 4th, and 5th all time. In fact he's thrown more passes than anyone else in MSU history, surprisingly 171 more times than McGhee despite throwing for 457 more yards and 21 more TD passes.

*Big caveat, the latest MSU record book available on the website is 2023 so it doesn't have last year on it. Mellot finished at 67.8%, I went ahead and put that at #1.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Lulay

I saw that too, but why isn't it in the record books then?

It's hard to find stats from that timeframe but ESPN still shows Lulay was 225/391 with 2,680 yards for 57.5%, which tracks with the overall % MSU has him marked as:

https://www.espn.com/college-football/t ... eason/2005

According to MSU recordbooks, he threw 388 passes in 2005, not sure where the Wiki got 338 from. MSU says 388, ESPN says 391.

@Common Cat I'm about halfway through this week's episode and I just wanted to point out that the game isn't at 8pm unless you're going to the east coast for the weekend. Otherwise it's at 5pm for you. Don't want you to miss the game.

Ok well Wiki strikes again cause in the paragraph above it says 223 of 388 so that probably is right.

Golden Coolie Followup - Cal Poly Preview

Thorny - PowerAide Red (Coca-Cola Company) (No Coolie) 1st appearance or doesn't count at all?

Zach - Salmon Fly Honey Rye (Madison Brewing) 3rd Appearance as the primary...1st time in a preview episode.

[*] The 1st ever Gold Coolie awarded was the Cal Poly Preview Episode in 2019.

Good performance by the Cats, better performance by Ty Gregorak. Not only a great suit/tie, but also worked in albatross. Nice to see Davis go off. Lamson’s accuracy was concerning, could have put a could more TD’s on the score board with better a better performance by him. Starting 4/10 and throwing one behind Taco that could have been a big play. The play in the second half to Schlepp, could have been to the house.


On the hit dog front I present to you the Cheesy Wiener:
Large mozzarella stick cut in half lengthwise with a dog placed into the cheese stick like a bun. Topped with marinara and flaky Parmesan cheese.

Does the performance by the secondary concern you? If their QB was more accurate, they also would have had a couple large gash plays.

Albatross! I’m rewatching the game. Do you remember vaguely when he said it?

[mommacat]

It was when Ben said he took a nice walk on the beach. The game clock was at 11:00 minutes but I don’t remember which quarter

Pressure will do that. Not many sacks but several hits and pressures. Those impacted Lamson as well who missed a couple like you said. Kelly did place a perfect pass on TD with good coverage. Even in NFL and Power 5 games QBs don't always connect with open receivers indeed balls.

[liqud360]

Watching that high snap, he got that down and set so fast, I am not sure there was any issue in timing. That was a focused and athletic play in itself!
