I saw this, which actually was done before Cat-Griz, but what a year she has had! Talk about raising a football family.

I saw those gloves at the game. I guess that’s another Bobcat item that I’ll have to purchase.

I’ve chatted with Mollie and the kids multiple times over the past few years around the tailgate. Such sweet people. MSU is lucky to have this family.

It was a nice interview. She's a sharp lady. The one part that stuck out to me was how she said they were blessed to have not moved very much. Fargo for a long time, boys were all born there, then Wyoming for 7 years. She spoke of other friends who had been 8 places in 8 years and indicated she was glad that wasn't them. She also spoke of how happy they are in Bozeman, the boys too. Maybe, just maybe, Vigen isn't the type of guy to be a rolling stone but rather is good to plant himself and his family and bloom there.

I think Colter and Ty Gregorak had the right take on Vigen during their interview earlier in the week. We'd be naive to think that Vigen will stay at MSU for the rest of his career if he keeps winning at the rate he has been so far, but at the same time he's only going to leave when the timing is right and for the right job as opposed to taking the first offer that comes along like Eck did bolting to New Mexico virtually before the game was over last Friday. Regardless of how this season turns out he has certainly earned a raise if MSU would be able to renegotiate his contract two years into the current 4-year deal he signed before the 2023 season. The assistant coaches too, although there are obviously budgetary constraints there as well.

I haven't heard Ty and Colter's deal yet but was going to listen today. But yes, Vigen seems fairly calculated and committed to building something of value. It's been a 4 year process but I'm not sure he's quite done yet. The offers will roll in, no doubt, but he's not a ship jumper. It'll have to be the very right thing, for him and for his family.
