How much do I love the football season? It's back to game week excitement this week. And, we're playing at home

I'm already pumped and it's only Monday

I can't wait to see a healthy Bobcat team back on the field this weekend.

I see that the weather in Bozeman is beautiful for the next couple of days and then right on schedule, CRAP! Of course it is almost Nov.

Well with any luck Sac state will get a 60 Degree day with no wind and no rain/snow.

I don't care what Sac State playing conditions are this week, since they will be playing at home against Eastern.

What size crowd can we expect for Saturday?

Weather channel is predicting 30% chance of precip, high of 54, partly cloudy.

Both Belgrade and Manhattan High Schools will be hosting playoff games at 1:00 p.m.

It's hunting season.

The game kicks off at 12:05 p.m.

We're coming off a loss.

NAU is never the biggest draw-especially this year with their struggles.

In past years crowd size has dropped a bit this time of year (I expect hunting season is the main culprit).

Given all of the above I predict an announced attendance of 11,347 with quite a few no-shows. Less if the weather turns bad.

I'll be there trying to scream and yell loud enough to make up the difference.

This is Lulay's last year. Minimum of 3 home games left to see him play so everyone that can make it should go. Take a day off of work in the middle of the week and go hunting

These games are Big Games and if we take care of business on the field could be HUGE offensive games for MSU.

Really? That many wouldn't even be noticed here. What gives? I thought Bozo was on the way to creating an equal program? I for one hope that happens... TWO class acts in Montana would be outrageous!

I would say we're on our way to larger numbers for attendance. All games this year have been sellouts (14,300 approx.) The ISU game was 800 over sellout (largest non cat/griz game since 1976). The administration is currently looking at plans for expansion. And, with the deficit being paid off this year, I would think there's no reason to go forward with it.

I think HB was questioning the fact that we have "soft" opponents coming in the next two weeks. Hopefully people do take time off from hunting and other activities to come and cheer on the 'Cats.

I personally think we have benefited from huge/vocal (Bobcat perspective) crowds this year ( Last I saw we were in the top 20 for average). I think the trend will continue as the excitement is definitely there.

Two class acts would be great, but hoping the friz join that elite group is a big waste of time...

The game is nearing a sell out. Hopefully those that cold not attend the last two games will show up. Sell outs equal playoff invites. Lets fill the stands. NO one will be denied, so lets spread the word.

It's about time for the Cats to come home! This is where the road to the title begins and the weather can't be worse than the SFA game, so there's no reason that the stadium shouldn't be sold out. A loud croud will give the Cats a big advantage. Let's fill Bobcat Stadium up on Saturday.

I'll be their and I'll be a nutty screaming bobcat fan... I hope if they expand the stadium and that they do it in a way to also hold in noise better...

I think he meant when they play here in 2 weeks. Me, I want it to be snowy/cold. Thats football weather boys!

Um... I think more like the number of sold seats is what gets playoffs, which is why all things being even close to equal, they'll be here.

I'm not sure of your Huh? But, if I had to guess you either weren't aware that we had an athletic $$ deficit, or you didn't know that we should be able to pay it off this year. Either way....

bare I think he has a problem with "I would think there's no reason to go forward with it" I think you ment, "I would think there's no reason not to go forward with the stadium expansion"

I, Jag, think after you go 2-2 over the last 4 games there will be no reason to add seats for next years 5-6 team. IMHO

Platinumcat · Post by **Platinumcat** » Tue Oct 25, 2005 9:16 am

Jag,
Thanks for pointing out my typo. I most definitely think we should add onto the stadium.

Sorry

It's game week and it's at home!
