The Bobcat Nation

I couldn't feel better about todays game. First game of the season and we did damned well. Proud to be a Bobcat!

Our WRs - stepped UP. Miller had a few drops, but for the most part, especially Guinn, I am extremely happy how well we threw the ball WITHOUT Gatewood!

It will be interesting to see if we jump a couple spots in the polls after this game. I would offer the opinion that a 5-point loss to a Big XII school is much more impressive than whooping up on a cupcake, but we'll see if others feel the same way.

I would think the GRIZ would stay at #3 this week while MSU jumps up to #13-15 spots I bet.

That wasn't a shot at the griz, BTW. I meant anyone in the #10-20 range who didn't play well against a patsy. The griz did exactly what they should have today, and they will stay where they are in the polls, unless maybe Furman drops due to their so-so game.

In other I-AA games, I was disappointed to see Georgia Southern eke out a win. I don't think we have ever played them, but for some reason I just don't like those guys!

Game wore me out- don't know what I'd be like if it would've been televised,

The Big Human is on....he said Mollohan had cramps - that is good? news.

The bad: What's with the 3 fumbled snaps? We've got to get that cleaned up. Remember our first play from center last season?

A procedure penalty and illegal participation penalty on our first drive! I was wondering if we had ever practiced.

Fake punt on our own 14-I guess we needed to take some risks-but geez Kramer!

We gave up touchdowns on their opening possessions of each half-what's up with that?

How would we have done with Gatewood-OK State could've been in some serious trouble-we missed his explosiveness.

Fumble on their 20 when we're driving...OUCH! woulda-coulda-shoulda!

One of these years we're going to win one of these (against a 1-A team).

The good: I couldn't be more proud. How tight was the collective spinchter of Stillwater in the 4th quarter? Lucky for them the Sooners lost or they'd be gettin' an ear-full!

We made a field goal!

Defensive stop on our 2! That's huge.

The defense bounced back after giving up a TD to start each half.

Bass sounds like he could really make a difference.

Murray and Miller sounded solid.

Guinn caught everything.

We threw to the tightend! Love it.

Plenty to build on here-bring on SFA!

Had to listen to Coach Kramer post game- what a guy!

We made a few mistakes, but we're gonna kick butt this year.

Good showing Cats. If you're WR's could catch the first half I think you would have won. Sounded like Lulay was on the money the entire game. Sounded like the D is much improved. Should be an interesting year.

Nice work cats. You've looked like a solid team on paper, but i wasn't sure you could actually start to live up to it, even without Gatewood. I don't see a lot of details, who stood out the most, not counting Lulay?

Just from what I heard on the radio, JD's blocking, Bass' elusiveness, Saucedo's size, and Guinn's clutch-ness were the big things to stand out. That and the defense that held a D-1A team to 15 points including 2 takeaways and one monstrous goal line stand.

The center-quarterback exchange seems to be the one major thing to work on. I don't fault DeCock too much for his false starts. I can't even imagine how loud it was on the field. Way to go guys!

Profisme

we lost the radio feed in Great Falls. Did anyone get some game stats?

according to espn he had 7 yards rushing lol

Congrats to the Cats (especially the Defense)!!! I'm generally not a fan of the 3-4 defense, but I'll learn to love it if the Cats continue to play that well in it for the rest of the season.

Thank you, Cats, for making the BSC, and I-AA look better than ANYONE else did today!

You guys sacked up, played Montana Football...big props to you!

Anyone in the BSC, or the rest of I-AA that doesn't believe you are for real, IMHO, is FOS...nice job guys!

Don't you mean we played STATE football, grizo??!!


(Sorry, that's not smack, I just couldn't resist. Thanks to ALL the Good Griz Fans (henceforth known as GGF's) for the compliments)

El Gato, I"m with you. I enjoy conversation with Griz fans when it's done in a non-insulting manner. Barebac's antics during the game were uncalled for; he should be ashamed of himself.
Thanks to the other Griz fans for your thoughts and one thing is for certain; this will definitely be an interesting year.
