Well we won.

Same. Still reading/viewing/enjoying all the posts, videos, and reactions.

Does anyone know what time the Cats' plane arrives back at Belgrade (assuming it's Tuesday sometime)?

Thanks.

They just took off from Nashville and are scheduled to land back in Bozeman at 3:50 AM. Flight 8425, how cool is that!

Thank you! I thought they might stay the night and come back later this morning, but that would definitely save on lodging expenses.

That, and knowing they probably wouldn’t be sleeping anyway, probably best just to get home.

We had a player on our 630 flight from Nashville to Dallas. No idea who. Was wearing his Natty hat

Local ABC news station is reporting on Facebook that the Cats will arrive at the Bozeman airport at 1:15pm today and the public can greet them at the bottom of the escalator.

Gotcha, must have been a fan charter that flew back last night then. I thought with the 8425 flight number that it was probably the team plane.

Over the moon here. It wasn’t easy.

So excited!!!

Special shout out to CHRIS LONG FROM NEW JERSEY!!!!

2 monster catches and he was able to continue after the attempted beheading.

You made us proud!!

Congrats to all involved in this massive achievement!!!!

I was at the airport when Sonny and his cowboy hat returned late at night from beating Akron in the 1976 National Championship. Still gives me chills — or maybe it was the weather. Anyone else in here that was there that night?

So I thought it would be fun to watch the airport return last night. This explains why I couldn’t find video on X or FB.

Most definitely! Although Chris’ stats weren’t off the charts compared to a couple other guys, he made some massive catches and plays all year in key situations. His route running, blocking, and effort on all other plays without the ball in his hands were such an important part of the offense. You should absolutely be proud!!

Anyone complaining about coaches and the second half performance must have completely forgot the first half where we diced them up with ease to build a 14 point lead. If ISU's gameplan is to get down 14 and get 8 false start penalties gifted to them, maybe they aren’t such amazing coaches.

We won! Doesn't matter if by 1 or 100! Congratulations to the NATIONAL CHAMPION MONTANA STATE BOBCATS!!!

[84CatGrad]

I never dreamed I would not be ecstatic if we won. And I am thrilled for Taco and Justin. Dream ending for them. And I know over time I won't care how we won-- just that we won.

That having been said-.. . . . Much as I love Vigen and think he is incredible, we were totally outcoached, particularly in the 2nd half. There was absolutely no excuse for all of the procedure penalties. That's on Sterbick and it's just totally and completely inexcusable. Plus the end of game where we almost fumbled it away.

So we got the W. And that's what is more important by far. But not really the way I wanted to do it.

Congratulations to the team for a great *SEASON* of effort. They should be very proud even if we didn't put our best foot forward tonight.

We won the national championship. I will not criticize our national champion winning coaches. Great work by everyone.

[Bobcat Sig]

Despite staying out until nearly 2 am last night, I laid awake for what seemed like all night, unable to come down from the emotional high.

Absolutely incredible

Lighten up Francis. We won the natty. Our coaching staff just literally outcoached every staff in the FCS.

Ive had a few random people tell me that they saw the game last and how exciting they thought it was.

[TIrwin24]

Seeing the national talking heads like Kirk Hirbstreet and Pat McAfee tweeting out clips of last night's game just makes you realize how big that win actually was. Holy smokes

[technoCat]

Just remember the coaches getting lambasted in the 4th quarter for stuff they really can't control did the most important thing they possibly could. The instilled their guys with faith and an it's not over until the clock says 0's. We saw NDSU buckle under the avalanche and our guys held the line!!

It shows how important it is to have this game on a Monday night when it's the only game going on. It was ridiculously dumb that they used to play it on Sunday afternoon competing directly with the last regular season NFL Sunday.

[BobcatDel]

Ecstatic: I wasn’t around to attend 1976 and 1984 so was so glad I was here.

Hungover:

Whipsawed: With the range of emotions in the last minutes of Q4…..From terrific highs to almost despair and back again about three times…ending on the ultimate high!

Reminded: Of Yogi Berra…. “it ain’t over til it’s over”.

Heartstruck: Looking around me at the joy and love on the field with players and coaches. The fans hugging one another. The young girl in front of me who was here on her 12th birthday all in her garb. And I saw adult men and women with tears in their eyes.

My heart “soared like an eagle” for the love of the game.

[BelligerentBobcat]

Anybody complaining about Vigen, any coaches, or any players, after we just won the national championship needs their head examined. There will be plenty to discuss this off season, but for now, we’re the only team that finished the season with a win! Be happy!

Congrats fellas!

Hell of a team, hell of a program.

One of the best football games I've ever seen.

Looking forward to the coldest, bleakest winter of my life.
