Just curious, but did you drop significantly in this years points rankings?

The ticket office isn't going to know your priority points or your overall score.
BTO did say BC would be the point of contact.
202 here. The extra Cat/gris tix were sold out long before they got to my place in line.
Not hopeful for natty tix.
The breakdown should be in our alumni account profiles, but I couldn’t find it.

Re: Random stuff 2024
Thanks. Sent an email earlier. I never paid much attention to it, but now that more things are being geared toward the priority points, figured it was a good time to ensure I have credit for more than just the past two years.kmax wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2024 1:33 pmYep as mentioned by others contact Bobcat Club.

Thank you for your continued support of the Bobcats as a season ticket holder and as a member of the Bobcat Club Annual Scholarship Fund. We are working on gathering all the data for the priority point rankings. We will get that information out to you all next week.
With the 2024 football regular season coming to an end, the Bobcats are in consideration for the FCS Playoffs. As we did last year, you will have the opportunity to request your playoff seats before the conclusion of the season. Starting Tuesday, November 12, at 10am, you can reserve your seats and only be charged for the games in which Montana State hosts. You will also have the opportunity to request tickets for the National Championship game in Frisco, Texas. For more information and for ticket office hours, please visit this site.
National Championship game requests will be filled in order of priority point ranking. Therefore, a request does not guarantee tickets. You will be notified the week of the semifinals if your order is successfully filled. The deadline to request tickets for the FCS championship will be Wednesday, December 18, at 11pm
Potential road game playoff tickets will be made available once the matchup is set. Priority points will be used to determine ticket distribution.
Has anyone received their priority points info?
And no one has called about parking either.![]()

Re: Random stuff 2024
Yeah, I mentioned this earlier. I pledged a nice donation to the indoor, purchased two more season tickets for a total of 6, my monthly donation to the collective is now counted, and my ranking still dropped. I'm guessing some of those big donations to the indoor must have lowered the rankings.WalkOn79 wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2024 4:36 pmI pledged $2,000 to the IPF and nothing else changed, but I went from 358 to 386?Cataholic wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2024 1:49 pmJust curious, but did you drop significantly in this years points rankings?

Re: Random stuff 2024
Totally random this morning… but my son just reminded me about this. Has anyone else noticed throughout the season that the band often plays while we are in the huddle and lined up on offense? It has been bothersome to me all year, and then I actually noticed against Sac that Tommy twice gave a demonstrative “silence” hand gesture to the band. I understand that the conductor can’t see the field, but shouldn’t there be a member of the band that gives the ok or not for the band to play? I appreciate what the band brings to the game, but it is very frustrating when they are working against us while we are on offense.

Re: Random stuff 2024
Some have mentioned that even after generous pledges, their priority point ranking has gone down. We have never paid our donations in installments, so I don’t know how it works, but I assume priority point credit is not given until the pledge is paid in its entirety. Anyone know?

Re: Random stuff 2024
I can change my BN name to ‘Griping Guy’ if required after this post and love the band, but observed the same including Tommy’s gesture during last game. There are some times the band isn’t helping the offense but agree - nice to complain about something dumb like this.saintcat40 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 11:53 amTotally random this morning… but my son just reminded me about this.

Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Yep, I saw that too... and at first I was thinking he was telling the crowd to shut up but yes it did look like he was telling the band to shut up. If a player of Tommy's intelligence is doing that, it tells me it's a real thing. Somebody needs to get that corrected, like right now - before Cat Griz and playoff run.MSU Toddler wrote: ↑Sat Nov 16, 2024 1:02 pmI can change my BN name to ‘Griping Guy’ if required after this post and love the band, but observed the same including Tommy’s gesture during last game.

Re: Random stuff 2024
Could’ve the cats gotten bumped to #1 if they would’ve kept scoring and kept Davis at 8? Seems like beating the #4 ranked team by 4+ touchdowns in their place could’ve got the cats enough votes. Curious about other opinions.

Re: Random stuff 2024
No, because NDSU played an opponent that was 8-2 and ranked #14 in the coaches poll and beat them by 38 points. They were dominant and there would be no reason for anyone who had them at #1 to drop them down.

No matter how much the Cats might have won by, the only scenario where NDSU would drop down is if they took a loss—fair or otherwise.

Stan Becton switched us around on his ballot. I'd guess several others will have as well. I net we go from 14 first place votes to 20+. Not enough to jump to #1 though.The Butcher wrote: ↑Mon Nov 18, 2024 11:01 amNo matter how much the Cats might have won by, the only scenario where NDSU would drop down is if they took a loss—fair or otherwise.
Edit: I was wrong, Stan's was the only 1st place vote we gained
