Am I going blind or is Tommy not in either picture?

I heard from my uncle's second cousin's Town Pump clerk that he's transferring to TCU. /s

I know. I was also being funny and calling him a bratwurst. Names are touchy around here.

All 3 brothers have played here and they’re still getting it wrong?! At least Troy Andersun moved on, right?

Apologies if posted elsewhere, but any word on the Fall Camp practice/scrimmage schedule?

It feels like the way last season ended will have a HUGE impact on how the team performs this season. Guys have mentioned several times in interviews. Not just the loss to NDSU, but you could feel it several games prior to that. The team seemed to have lost its mojo. A slow start in Moscow that ended in a comeback that fell just short. A complete no-show in Missoula. A game against the Bison which the Bobcats seemingly controlled most of the game only to lose in the final few minutes and OT. Three losses in the final five games was not what they were looking for, nor expecting.

So, the question remains: does that motivate this team, which is full of already decorated seniors, to put that in the past and move forward towards the goal, or does that mediocrity from last season carry over to this season, kind of like it did under the final couple years under Coach Ash? You can say you've put last season behind you, but I think the team will use that as fire in their bellies. Starting with fall camp, it's time to put the foot on the accelerator and never let off...ever.

Another Mediocre season should put Vigen in the hot seat. This year's recruiting seems to be phenomenal though, I'd like to know whose in the recruiting office kicking ass.

Last year was mediocre? We were one of the final 16 teams playing, lost by 1 to a SF team, and should have won that game. We definitely could have beat USD and been in the SFs if we'd played a little differently against NDSU. We played some poor games, but the 6 seed and a crappy ending to the 2nd round game is far from mediocre.

Compared to the rest of the FCS it was a very good season. Compared to expectations, I think it's fair to say it was mediocre. Or at least the last few games were. That good start got the Cats a 6 seed. I don't think Vigen should be on the hot seat right now AT ALL, because things happen. But this is a program that quite frankly needs to be in the top 8 at the very least every year, IMO.

LOL, Vigen will absolutely not be on the "hot seat" after this season unless it's a complete disaster and the Bobcats are well under 500. High expectations are fine but let's be realistic here, he has won a ton of games and by all accounts is doing a great job of recruiting and building the program for long-term success instead of over-relying on transfer portal quick fixes.
