I plan an on being there as well Robcat. Should be a good time. Hooligans is a really cool sports bar that is for sure.

I'm curious to know where the FB Elliot is going to play this year?
Will we ever see Gathing and JD in the same backfield?
Are we gonna run up the score so are second teamers can play against OSU (lol)?

These are only a few of the ???'s that I have.

Ask Kramer who will play NT. What is he going to do about the corner position. Like last year, both starters are out (for now) and we have a transfer coming in that may or may not be any good. Remember the transfer last year from Fresno State? Probably not because he lasted one week.

Ask him what his "handle" is on Bobcat Nation

Keep em flowing! Handle, sounds like an old CB term?

I am pretty sure that new Bobkitten guy is just Kramer's BobcatNation alias.

Robcat,
10-4 Good buddy.

When's the stadium going to be upgraded.

What's his feelings on artificial turf.

When's the indoor practice facility going to be built (and where).

Why do we have so many knee injuries.

What's the airspeed of an unladen swallow (European)

Ask him what our recruiting strategy is. I don't care where our kids come from but does anyone have a problem w/ using transfers that have only 1, maybe 2, years left with no redshirt option. They have one year of eligibility and thats it. It would seem from a team building concept that would not be something we would be very interested in. The longer we have a player in our system the more that player has a "vested interest" in our outcome. So the question might be like, now that we have developed what looks to be very quality depth, will our recruiting effort be any different going forward? I also want it known that I'm not critical of our recruiting efforts, I'm just interested in how Kramer would respond because it does look like we've got pretty good depth at most positions. In fact, over the last 5 years we are light years different.

10-4

Also, ask how he plans on filling his 4 scholarships that he has in his back pocket...I-A dropdowns/JCs/HS at RB, CB, TE, or DL possibly? And how things are shaping up at TE and RB.

I don't have a problem using transfers if it fills an immediate need - which we usually have. Those holes are becoming fewer and fewer, and as evidenced by this year's recruiting class, we are finally beginning to see quality depth, as opposed to just depth. I believe Kramer said that we will most likely not need to play any true Freshman this year and that hasn't happened in a long time.

Where exactly is Hooligans? Streets?

It is right next door to the Montana Brewery Downtown.

113 N Broadway is the Brewery and it is right next door to the right of it.

Some of Kramers comments from Billings meeting

1. A new corner will be joing the program this fall, in fact he played for the Cats 2 years ago but due to some personal problems was released. Kramer is very high on this kid. Sorry I forgot the name, maybe Davis?

2. Remaining scolarships. Will look at JC's maybe a D1 drop down but prefers a couple D high school players.

3. New stadium should be started by 2007. New sky boxes and enclose the end zone. Capital campaign will be kicked off soon.

4. K is very high on the offense this year in particular the line and Justin Domineck. Feels Justin has learned how to square up and hit the holes better rather than running outside.

5. Beat the Griz by 1 point, get a home playoff game.

6. Injuries are a puzzle. But does not feel it is a conditioning problem.

7. Season ticket sales are crazy, if you have purchased your tickets better get on the phone. 994-CATS

Did he say anything about the D-Line situation?

Ordered my season tickets yesterday and got the section I wanted, 112.

Isn't the CB transfer named Chris Davis? Wonder who the new CB will be?

I was looking over the photo's of the scrimages and practices and wondering who number 55 is? 55 was Travis Nellermoe, but was told on this board that he is no longer on the team. Who is it? Also, is there an updated roster out there somewhere?

GO CATS!!

Tight ends, forgot to add his comment. He said we are much better at the tight end situation this year vs last. Wolf was outstanding but this years starters are more skilled.

One more time. He is very high on the backup QB's, as is everyone on this board. His favorite is Carpenter, he feels Carpenter can see the field better. On defense not much comment and I did not ask him the specfic question about the NT situation. Sorry.
