I was in school when these guys played. Chip Hobbs, God bless him, could barely spell his name. He was lucky to have an easy one to spell or he would have been in deep sh!t.


I would have to say:

Rob Tesch
Ryan Johnson
Kelly Bradley
Joe Bignell
Corey Widmer
Joe Roberts
Tom White
Borchardt
Travis Lulay
Roger Cooper

Sonny Holland, Cliff Hysell, Tom Parac, Don Haas or Paul Schaeffer, Mark Fellows, Mike Vollmer and Les Leninger, Ron Ueland and Ron East, Jan Stenerud, Jon Borchart, Kelly Bradley or Paul Dennehy instead of Dennis Erickson (can't decide here) Ron Muri, Bill Kollar, Joe Bignell. Some of us are starting to get old

I keep hearing the name Tom Parac, does anybody know where this gentleman is. I recently visited with a man with the same name, but am unsure if they are the same person.

Rob Compson deserves mention. As well as Ty OConner and Neal Smith

How about Josh Rollins...

umm no

Tom Parac took over from Jim Sweeney before becoming AD in Bozo. I think he's in our hall of fame but don't know whether it's because of football, basketball, coaching or as administrator. He left the program in very good shape.

I know that my thoughts are probably going to be biased to recent Bobcats because, well, I am still here in college. A few names I would like to throw out there would be Brent Swaggert (didn't he set a record for number of games started by a Bobcat?), Jan Stenerud (went to college with my dad here), Ryan Johnson, and Don Hass have to be on that list.

Even though Junior Adams didn't have the biggest numbers as a Cat, he has contributed to this program a lot. I can remember a couple of catches that were just incredible and his punt return skills were unrivaled by anyone that I have seen, he has moves that left defenders so confused they were picking up each other's jocks. His contributions as a coach can't be overlooked either.

I notice there's not much support for some great receivers on this list Sam McCallam, Mark McGrath and some kid from Kalispell that Erickson would actually throw to instead of keeping or pitching to Haas...Jeffy Muri was pretty good too.

Tom Parac was the athletic director I believe when I was recruited to be a cat...
I remember he was showing me a tape of the season and wasn't very interested until the Griz/Cat game came on and then he got real agitated.
It made me look into the Griz as a possibility. I owe him.

How can you leave Jan Stenerud off any list of all time great cats...How many other cats are in the NFL hall of fame?
Coach Erickson was the QB on that team... also not too shabby.

Any "All-Time Great Bobcat" list would have to include Mark Fellows and Joe Bignell.

I think following the upcoming season we'll be able to add our 2 "Firepower" boys as well: Lulay & Mollohan.

Lulay? Say no more.

Super Mac? Odds are he'll be a 3-time 1st team selection to the All Big Sky team; how many other Cats have pulled off that feat?

Roger Cooper would be one that has done that as well.

You are correct sir!

And thus, we add Roger Cooper to the list.

How about MARCEL DUNN? Truely amazing!

Definately Marcel Dunn. He was THE premier player of the 2000 season.
At least Farhad Azimi tried hard.

You have to add Joey Thomas. He was pretty good as well, and still playing.

I will only allow Joey Thomas if you allow Kane Ione. Kane was one tuff SOB.
