RB Julius Davis at Montana State is playing in his 7th year of college football. Call Bozeman and get their lawyers to give us some pointers. His first redshirt year was in 2019 at Wisconsin for God's sake.

Spending that money wisely.

Keep it rolling

I got two or three calls during the week, already had my ticket (and more) so yeah, they're trying, hard.

This is the Fall 2025 Finals Schedule at Davis:

Last season Hastings took a final the day before he played a Quarterfinal FCS Football game, catching a flight, what, the afternoon before...to South Dakota? Glad we're at home, but we have to work and get these finals taken care of, get the bodies healthy and get the packages installed and drilled if we're going to beat Illinois State. As a program that prides itself and recruits on the "UC Davis Degree" we're going to have to learn how to navigate this part of the year.

Moroski's College of Idaho Yotes took on mighty Montana Tech yesterday in the Quarterfinals of the NAIA Playoffs - they ruined the Diggers' perfect season and will next face Keiser University in West Palm Beach, FL on Saturday, Dec. 13:

Somebody can look up the rule, but I want to say that if you kick it over the goal post, like Hunter did, and in the refs estimation the ball crosses the plane of the goal post at any point by rule you call it a miss. That's the only explanation I can come up with, because it sure looked close to slightly inside the upright from the camera feeds, but we did not see directly under the goal post for the definitive look.

I will say Hunter did miss that field goal, but he was kicking the snot out of the ball last night. His leg looks very strong, and that could be huge for us next Saturday.

I was watching the Bobcat radio broadcast feed while getting some work done yesterday before the game. After Montana State secured the win there were some fireworks on the sideline between 7th year RB Julius Davis and HC Brent Vigen:



I don't have any insider information, but man, that is not a program that resides in trust, unity and togetherness if they let one player get that pissed off over literally nothing. FWIW, Adam Jones has been Davis' committee RB partner for the majority of the season. You watch Davis, and given his pedigree, maybe he wants the bulk of the carries and he's getting frustrated.

Wow!

Quite pleased with the broadcast, the atmosphere in the feed was great, and they put Davis in a good light. I think the team needs to get used to there being more cameras around and it being more for the refs to draw from on close calls - the reviews are going to happen, be prepared accordingly.

I was just going to ask the same thing. Don't think there's any news, but he seemed to be in some real pain in the middle of the 4th quarter when he got banged up.

We'll see how long this link lasts...

If Davis beats Illinois State.
....and if Nova beats Tarleton.

I like the parity this year! Of the top 8 seeds in the Quarters, only 5 are left.

Some damn good games - and each gets their own time slot essentially. Gonna be cold for those Nacogdoches, TX boys up there in Bozeman for the 6 pm local game. Could be snow.

The Red Birds have had a murderous run of tough football games to end the season and extend into the playoffs.

Their last 8 games play like this:
vs. #25 Youngstown State L 35-40
@ #21 South Dakota W 21-16
vs. Northern Iowa W 31-16
@ Indiana State W 52-20
@ #16 South Dakota State W 35-21
vs. #24 Southern Illinois L 7-37
@ #16 SE Louisiana W 21-3
@ #1 North Dakota State @ 29-28

Anybody who doesn't think the better team didn't win in Fargo, should watch that film, most of those picks were on tipped balls, and when it mattered, with their season on the line, the Red Birds found a way to beat #1...on the road.

They're played 6 ranked teams in their last 8 games and beaten 4 of them...ALL ROAD WINS, winning in the DakotaDome, Brookings, @ SELA and in the FargoDome.

We are absolutely in for a beast of a fight - and ISU has film on us from last post-season, where, the Aggies dropped 42 on them --- QB Rittenhouse, WR Sobkowicz, Cinci transfer RB Victor Dawson, RB Wenkers Wright and a lot of the impact players from last season are back for the Red Birds, and they sport what may be the best defensive line and LB corps the Aggies will have seen all year save for Washington.

Put the Rhody win behind you - now the real test starts.
