The Bobcat Nation

I just watched the Missoula CBS newscast, and Jeremy Jorgensen reported from Bobcat Stadium that the field is a sloppy, muddy mess.

He and the other clown back in the studio made it very clear that they think the Cats did this intentionally. The studio folks were even dumb enough to use the word conspiracy. Booby & Co. apparently stopped to do a walkthrough, but according to JJ, they saw the field, loaded up the bus and headed east; doesn't Booby remember what happened the last time he did that?

I'm sorry, but with a pass-oriented attack on offense, why in the world would the Cats want a sloppy, slow track?

Sounds like the TV guys are simply setting up an excuse for the Griz loss.

Does anybody know if this is true? About the field I could care less about who it helps and who did what.

oh, let me think....it snowed, it has been slightly warm...might be too scientific for you frizzlies to figure out, afterall, you are a liberal school...but this could cause some muck...suck to be you...GO BOBCATS

they are just setting up their team for a loss bobcatmaniac...same damn excuse they used last year when they lost the national championship, its the field...lol

I didn't hear any talk of conspiracy and have talked to people who where on the field with the Griz. They did say the field was a piece of isht.

Who takes care of the field, and do they have any idea what they are doing?

Don't you want to leave the snow on the field till the last possible second and then clear the snow so the field doesn't freeze. Or did it get warm enough to melt all the snow. They said they cleared the snow on wednesday, and that the cats didn't even practice on it. What up.
Personally, I could care less, but don't want it so bad that guys are getting hurt because of poor field conditions.

Why doesn't everyone just wait until tomorrow to see what the field looks like. Don't jump to conclusions!

why don't we just not worry about the field and play football...sniveling is not a bobcat thing...more a diaper griz thing...so bring a diaper for your favorite griz player...ok...please no child abuse...(griz)...an extra small for baby hauck...after all he is deep inside a track guy...

1) The people who take care of the field do a great job. The turf condition is in excellent shape. But, that doesn't mean that natural conditions can't affect it.

2) A week ago we got at least 10" of snow and have had other snow showers that have probably amounted to around 2-3 inches more. The weather lately has gotten warm enough during the day time to melt off. My own back yard is down to nothing except for in shaded areas.

3) The cats cleared their practice field last Tuesday. That's all. The playing field has been left alone.

4) I go by the stadium at least twice a day as my children's daycare is nearby. The 'Cats were practicing in the stadium on Wednesday night.

5) When I drove by tonight, the Griz were going through their walk throughs and were on the field for at least 45 minutes.

6) The field is nowhere even close to being a liability to injury. Is it wet? Yes. It's outside and it's natural turf. But, there are no bare areas and the grass is well established.

JahGriz, yah it's been in 40s all week how would you suggest we keep the snow on the field.

We're an Ag school, we'll keep growing the grass, you keep smoking it over there at the People's Republic of Montana.

Really, why would the Cats want a sloppy, slow track?
Leave it to El to spin it to make the Griz look bad. You are such a slacker.

If the field is in poor condition fine. The Griz will deal with it. It is the Cats Stadium that will be in the national spotlight and they are the ones that stand to lose by embarrassing field conditions. That should really stimulate recruiting interest. Next week the nation and potential recruits will see a real stadium.

I don't see what the big deal is here, folks. It's not rocket science: snow+temperatures in the 40's=melting snow=mud. Anyone who thinks it's some sort of Bobcat conspiracy needs to get a life, and soon.

I was asking, not suggesting. I don't know what the temps were in bozo, but assumed it was cold.
Anyway, obviously the field is in bad shape. But I'm all for a down and dirty old slye game too.
Funny thing, I wasn't for the Griz going away from grass. But now I guess I've come to like a consistant surface that is a non-factor.
I think everybody should have sprinturf or similar. But still like turning on the TV and seeing players actually all dirtied with chunch of turf stuck in their face masks.
Whatever, works for me, though I'll pass on newly laid sawd. Thanks for the explanations.

So by that logic, I guess Chattanooga won't be hosting any more NC games then huh?

Well maybe we''ll recruit a QB who wouldn't normally play, but whose dad is a ambulance chaser who will pay for our sprinturf.

They have new turf this year like ours.

I thought all MSU graduates got great jobs and were rich and successfull people. Something doesn't fit.

Or maybe you could get an alumni who gives a sh*t about your program and that POS litterbox you play in.

You have had one alum that gave a sh**. Nice work. What has your contribution been to the program?

PS: Posting negative things on BN is not a contribution idiot.

I would also like to mention the 1998 game in Msla. The grass was AWFUL! I could argue we lost that game bc of the turf, but I am not a Griz fan so I won't. Bask in your spin turf glory, but remember you are in the BSC not the PAC 10. We know how the Griz do against PAC 10 schools...

Did he really give a sh** about your program or did he just want to see his boy play?
