The Official-unofficial BOBCAT-Naw game thread...

Post by catsrback76 » Fri Sep 27, 2019 8:51 pm

Big Sky Conference is here! =D^

The 3-1 Bobcats are hosting the 2-2 Treekillers from Nau in Bozeman today and the weather is supposed to be perfect football weather in the Bozone! =D^

I say that all with tongue in cheek because this is going to be a great game to watch between two teams that seem to always produce some kind of drama/blowout etc. As of late, Nau has had the upper hand in beating the Cats, and this game will be strongly contested by both teams because of the matchup.

If there is a weakness in the Bobcat team D it would be in the middle- deep passing game. We've been soft in the middle and beat on the deep balls this season, so Cookus from Nau should get his completions! That said, I love the way our Defense on the whole is playing and expect some shots to connect early in the game but to be taken away later in the game when it counts most.

Our run game should be featured again as the weather will have come to assert itself into the equation. It's Fall in the Rockies and we know that means...well, balmy Indian Summer days, or, blizzards. Today more of the later which bodes well for the team that is used to playing outside with a strong run game.


Also, we will get another look at the "new" Bobcat offence with Rovig in as a starter who has the ability to throw the ball as well. How will he do against the elements and a BSC opponent? It remains to be seen, but I have every confidence we will see the Cat Offense continue it's evolution and grow into a very very tough to defend explosive group!

The point being, we have two teams who I believe will exploit the others weaknesses today...the question is, who will assert their will most consistently and of course we know the Cats will rise!


For those at the game, remember, there is NO BAD GAMEDAY weather!!! For those located out across the world watching feeds and streams, we get what we get and we don't throw a fit! Go Bobcats, make it 5-1! =D^

I feel sympathy for NAU. MSU hasn't been in this position in most of their fan's memory.

Let's be gracious, talk to our neighbors and learn more about why we are winning.

I feel like the weather should favor us tomorrow, but then again we've never played great in bad weather.

Must be using Canadian math. 5-1. So we finish the season 19-3 entering the playoffs with a first round bye?

Beautiful day to start in Bozeman. Cloudy and cool. Weather could be a major factor today, if the wind blows and moisture comes in it should be the Cats game.

Those traveling today keep in mind it is fall watch for critters. We hit a deer coming down last night, everyone except the deer are fine and minor damage. Be safe on the roads and let’s #win Big today

Would love to see TA, Hill and Konkol starting at LB today to shore up the middle in pass coverage, and neutralize Joe Logan out of the backfield in the passing game.

It's been snowing in Helena since 6am this morning. We're leaving for Bozeman now. Hoping the roads are just wet and slushy. Go Cats!!!
