The Bobcat Nation

Just finished watching the morning edition of SportCenter and Cat-Griz received mention in a brief story about the biggest rivalries in the nation. The highlight they showed was of Junior running for 7 in 2002! The memory almost brought on tears of joy.

Junior in 2002 ..... Corey Smith in 2003! Brings tears to Griz fans as well

Woo-Hoo!!! Which Bobcat makes the big play tomorrow that we'll all remember? I'm going with Josh Lewis... a hunch.

In 2006 - Michael Jefferson catches a TD, runs for a TD, and throws a TD to Rolovich.

I am going to say someone from the secondary making a big INT and return for a TD. Let's pick Austin.

Groves piss pounds them again this year. He tops 175 yds rushing and picks up another 40 receiving. He earns Game, Big Sky and National Player of the week honors. Daly gets the same awards on the other side of the ball as he records 16 tackles and 2 sacks.

Arron Mason, he will break one tackle and scoot past the Griz seondary. My second choice is Jefferson, he is a play maker if Rolo gets the ball to him.

Go Cats

The Cat/Griz rivalry definitely belongs in the top 10 in the country and not just because it's been around for 106 years. I have seen a lot of college football in all corners of the country and the "brawl" is most definitely in the top 10.

I got my money on Bobby Daly picking one and running it back for 45yds and 6pts...could be the game winner!!!

I'd like to see ESPN broadcast this game with their OWN BROADCASTERS, their OWN CAMERAS and EQUIPMENT not some wash ups from KPAX....

My big play prediction is Daly sacking Swogger, knocking him back to his sophomore year at WSU, the ball is fumbled, Hoffenbacker picks it up and RUMBLES 35 yards for a touchdown that causes me to rip off my shirt.

A lot of people here would, but the fact is that Michigan St./Penn St., Indiana/Purdue, and Buffalo/Wisconsin are going to make them a lot more money than the Brawl would.

Uggh. I don't want to see any of that. ESPECIALLY the last part!!

I've seen the shirt off in person and on TV. Not a pretty picture but if it happens, it a good sign for the Bobcats. Hope it's above 30 for your sake, and I hope I feel sorry for your wife again.

Speaking of Hoff running for a touchdown I remember during the 84 championship season they use to line up one of the tackles in the backfield. I don't recall which player but he was a horse, he ran for at least a couple short yardage touchdowns and it was a blast to see. The Chicago Bears were doing the same thing with the fridge at the time. It was a fad of the times but I wonder why we don't ever consider it again. I would love to see Hoff in the backfield on a 4th down and a foot to go.

On short yardage we put DeCock in at Guard, and move Birkland into the backfield as a fullback. As of yet, I have never seen him get the handoff......but it is Cat/Griz week, hmmmmm......

Donnell Wheaton......he's a beast (if we're talking offense).

Ryan Force......he's an even bigger beast (if we're talking defense).

My dad has said that very thing at every game this year. He's convinced that Hoff is going to be our secret offensive weapon for C/G tomorrow. I think he's crazy.

It would be amazing to watch, tho.

If this happens, his new nickname would be Chuck "The Kegerator" Hoffenbacker-Norris!
