The Bobcat Nation

So I caught the tail end of the Bobby Hauck show last night and when recapping gam film he made a comment something like, "and we got picked here but the officials missed it"... is that rule about not critizicing the officials only during regular season play... or just a Big Sky thing?

At any rate - I was starting to come around on Bobby growing up... and certainly I think his coaching ability exceeded a lot of expectations this year, but last night he sure came off like the old Bobby, arrogant, whiny, sore loser attitude on that coaches show. Talking about how they really manhandled JMU and it could have been worse. So they finally play a game where the ball doesn't bounce their way and they lose the turnover battle... and they lose the game. Big shocker. I've been saying all along that the playoff team that holds even in the turnover margin will beat them. And his season highlight was sticking it to the Bobcats, at home? I would think knocking the #1 team in the country at their place might have taken that honor... but I guess you gotta love his Bobcat hatred. One good thing about this is that I'm sure Ash is now, finally 100% on board with how important this rivalry is.

That was a pick and I don't know how many holds I seen but we were CLEARLY the 2nd best team on the field.

Azz-whooping, no ifs, ands, or buts...Bad tackling, no excecution on "O", special teams, yeah that about sums it up.

You know, when you use logic and admit the faults of the "others" it makes it more difficult to hate you for your fan affiliation.

Good point... but if the officiating clearly had nothing to do with the outcome of the game... why did Bobby point out the mistake by the officials? Secondly, it it OK\Allowed to criticize the officials during the playoffs?

I can't talk for BH.

But their 3rd and 14-15 they converted on 2-3 missed tackles by us and our 1st drive when we couldn't punch it in from the 5 pretty much set the tone, IMHO.
