The Bobcat Nation

WOOHOOO!!!

Everyone schedule your heart appointment before spots fill up.

Wish it was a more definitive win, but in the end it doesn’t matter. Good job everyone (but especially Taco)

Party like it's 1984! Nobody said it would be easy. Let's hope one turns into many more. Go Cats!!!

National Champions baby. National fu*king champions

Taco came to play tonight, he gave us everything he had and was the difference maker

I'm just so happy. After cheering on this team for over 40 years, I was not so sure I was ever gonna get to see it happen again. This game was a microcosm of the last 41 years. So many peaks and valleys; a roller coaster of emotions. But we're back on top, baby...right where we belong!

I was born 2 years after the last one. Been a LOT of down with a lot of up. This is THE up.
This is the kind of title that outweighs the others. Nothing is like this.

I still can’t believe we actually won. What a game.

I was 10 months old when the Cats won the NC in 84. This is the most satisfying feeling I've ever had - regarding a sporting event, that is... I've got this dopey smile on my face...

Ditto. I was thinking to myself when they got into field goal range, "there's just no way we lose thoigh, right? It can't happen." Turned to my crew and said, "block coming."

It just HAD to be Lamson to Taco for the final TD!! And again, Caden was on the sideline injured, so his twin went into Superman mode!

Such an incredible game!! It was so special to be there. Unforgettable!

Heart Rate looked like someone waving a sparkler 10 beers deep on the 4th of July! The Capstone was when I went out onto the stoop and yelled BOBCATS BABY as I popped the bottle of Champagne! Several neighbors popped outside and laughed! I smiled and went nuts! BEST FEELING EVER!

Everything was branded 2026 at the game, but they called us the 2025 champs. So are the Cats the 2025 champs of the 2026 National Championship?

Seems like it was destined once the team got past the first two games.

It was the 2025 season.

Lamson falls to the turf, all is silent as he turns his head to the left, unable to look pass the white socked legs and cleats of the defense. He holds his breath as a deafening roar suddenly fills his ears... he lays there for but a moment, exhales as he closes his eyes, and knows they just won.

As Vigen said, the 2025 or 2026 champs, whatever the hell it is.
