So stoked. I would assume this means there is a dang good chance Lamson is staying. They were vocally early buds when Justin got here…

Outside of an o-line player or someone looking for more playing time. The rest of the team should be back. Count it!

We need to help get as many kids signed up for his camps and corporate sponsors as possible.

Share on all your social media and contact business owners. We need to make it worth his while.

Or just donate to his venmo.

Yes
Have you seen that somewhere, or spoke to him personally?

If Taco is staying would seem a virtual certainty that Caden is staying and also extremely likely Lamson is staying. With those returnees alone, we'll
be favorites to repeat as champions, even if we have a few unexpected portal losses.

From everything he's said and everything that has/hasn't happened since the game it's almost as much of a lock as Taco was.

Taco was never leaving and once Vigen announced he was staying there was almost no way Lamson would be leaving either.


Showing pressure on fourth down in overtime. They bring pressure. Lamson throws...Endzone! Caught! TOUCHDOWN!!! Taco Dowler!

And a kick away from a championship.

Here we go. Miles Sansted. Snap, hold, kick, Up, GOOOOD!! FOR A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Zero indications saying he is going anywhere. Given the context of his journey, safe to say he is staying put.

I agree with you, I just wondered if BB had seen a statement. I really didn't think Taco would leave, despite offers. He's a Montana kid who can go down in history as one of the best at MSU.

There have been 3 or 4 interviews where he sure sounded like it.
