A normal road schedule.
And a 12-game regular season schedule. Who doesn't want one more game of Bobcat football!!
A 6th home game would have been nice. Gris got that one correct.

Also, looking at their 2024 schedule, the only playoff team from this season they play next year is Montana State. Crazy.

Good video. Could be the first of many that feature different players - at least I hope it is.
Hopefully. The team/athletics department has a history of starting media projects in the offseason and then just letting them fade away.


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

They just posted one for Chambers. I don't know how to post videos on here, but it's another good one. A nice farewell.

Some of you are overthinking it.

We have 6 home games. We only play 3 playoff teams, all conference games, all at home. I like our chances.

I meant 7th home game. Bobcats for some reason didn’t buy out Dixie State/Utah Tech but I suppose not burning that bridge matters for future OOC games that are regional. Hopefully they improve quickly if that’s the case because they are bad and do nothing for strength of schedule, which did matter this year in terms of being seeded.

In terms of Gris playing only one playoff team, I was incorrect because they play UND in Grand Forks, which I commend considering their recent OOC.

For Twitter, YouTube and a few others, just copy the link and post it here. I see someone all ready did it this time.

Tommy is going to be an absolute beast next season and I’m excited about it.

Now, about that OC...
I'm in the same boat. When he's good, he's very good--I'd just like to see some sort of consistency...like we actually have an identity. I think Vim said it best...his play calling is schizophrenic!
I'd like a steady offense that doesn't go between these two extremes: "I'm not sure you can defend us" to "I'm not sure we can pick up a first down".
You’d think, based on stats, that MSU is a well oiled machine on offense. Ypc and QB rating are top notch. It’d be interesting to take a deeper dive into those numbers. MSU’s biggest issue was not making plays at key times. That’s where the inconsistency bit them. Seems like there were a lot of drives with gouge plays and a lot of drives that were 3 and out just one first down. All that would probably be hidden if the kicking game had come through.
I referred to it before as the lack of situational awareness

Looking forward to Tommy being the sole QB1. Hopefully that will force Housewright to actually USE that stable of RBs.
One way or another we'll be forced to use our RBs.
There's room for improvement in the run and pass games. I know of at least one person that thinks Alexander is going to be a game-changer in the pass game next year. He, McCullouch and Dowler have a high ceiling. Anaya, King, Trimble too. I think the offense is going to look a lot different next year.
Trimble and McCulloch (sp?) both have exhibited signs of being very good receivers but have drop some crucial passes. Hopefully they improve on whatever mental clarity in the off-season they need to get that done next year. Excited to see them improve

Being able to relax confidently whenever the place kicker takes the field.

Arguably the best offensive and defensive player in the BSC.

I also thought it was great! Market your best players...not too early to start marketing Tommy for the Walter Payton award. Same for Brody Grebe and the Buck Buchanan award.

I can't wait to watch Julius Davis again, I think he's going to explode. That guy runs possessed.

Others I'm excited about, Lonyatta finally being able to showcase his skills, Ortt taking yet another step forward in his already awesome game, Zac Crews tearing it up after his first year in the program and another season in the weight room, Caden back.... and a bunch of others, lol.


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

Posted this on its own thread. Agree with you about Davis. He's awesome!
