Maybe basketball changes (I don't know what their rules are) but I don't see any other sports changing.

Until players from other sports decide to sue the NCAA because football is getting a special deal nobody else has...and we all know how well the NCAA has been doing lately defending lawsuits against them.coloradocat wrote: ↑Tue Jan 13, 2026 12:42 pmMaybe basketball changes (I don't know what their rules are) but I don't see any other sports changing.

Out of the eight NFL playoff teams still left, four of them have former Bobcat players on their rosters.

MSU football should put out a tweet wishing them all good luck. Recruits see that and it reinforces the quality of our program.

The last article I saw on Valdez mentioned that he was elevated to the active roster in week 15.

Re: Random stuff 2026
A long time ago I went to a Nebraska game. We were able to tour some of the facilities. They had an area where they highlighted all their heisman trophy winners. Does anyone know if the BAC has a replica of Tommy’s Walter Payton Award on display?

JJ Dolan won a National Championship with the Cats. JJ's father, Nate Dolan, won National Championship with the gris in 1995. I have to think it's pretty dang rare for a father and son duo to win National Championships with separate schools/teams, let alone the Cats and the gris.

The Big Sky conference headquarters has a replica or Tommy's Payton award. I have no idea if the BAC does as well..

This patch is as exact as I could get to the patch worn on the players 1984 championship jackets. I have two of those jackets. The jackets, caps too, were re-made last season by an Asian company and you see various people wearing them.RICO CAT wrote: ↑Wed Jan 14, 2026 8:34 pmFrom 1984:AFCAT wrote: ↑Tue Jan 13, 2026 12:05 amI know someone online that made the 1984 patches.

I also have a 1984 championship game watch, a t-shirt, various prints, and other items.
Here is a picture of the original jacket patch.
