great come from behind win for the bunnies.

Idaho 22 Montana 13 1:54 to go 3rd quarter. Great game to watch.

30-7 Idaho State over Poly with 13:00 to go in 2nd period. Poly defense a sieve against rushing offense.

yah, I’ve heard that but disheartening for the guy who plays better. Ultimately it’s performance on the field.

Mellot starting for MSU. What kind of a message does that send to Sean Chambers? Yah, you do ok but not good enough?

yah, if we were wine it might be better - but I don’t think aches and pains are wine characteristics.

Yes in SLO.

I watched the Poly game. poly’s backup qb, who started last year actually did fairly well. It was a pretty evenly matched entertaining game.

I was at that game - 41 years ago with my roommates - ouch.

It was still Far Western Conference and the overall competition was not as stiff as now.

Another thought about Hawkin’s early statement about this year’s team being “the best ever”. I would say that 5 teams in Big Sky are better than last year (Montanas, Weber, Sac, and Idaho). And Poly is better but still down. I think the reality is that other teams have improved, so you have to improve more than those to gain an edge. Regardless, I do not think this years team is better than last year’s unless one compares against the team of the last 4 or so games of last year’s season.

yes, as I noted EDT. I think we go standard time in a couple weeks.

Interesting “discussion” going on on the Bobcat nation board. There is a pretty heated discussion on who should start at QB for them now that Mellot is cleared. I the the saner heads are saying leave Chambers in but many are saying that Mellot should start (apparently the touchdown Tommy bunch still thinking about last year and the fact the Mellot is a local boy from Butte. From my observations Chambers is a far better passer and equal or better runner. He is also bigger so takes hits better. Mellot had the Luxury of having McCutheon grabbing floated 50/50 balls. Will be interesting to follow the “controversy”. IMO crazy to demote Chambers after what he has done the past 3 games.

Hawkins always has interesting/entertaining press conferences. The fake punt was on college game day (didn’t know till pointed out in press conference).

I found it interesting/frustrating that both the Montana media and ESPN stats confused Justin Poerio for Jackson Cloyd. They do have the same jersey numbers but their name in on their jersey too. Now Cloyd is going to have to explain to his grandkids why his career rushing stats are 0 carries and no yards rather than an impressive 23 yard average. Interestingly, I heard Jackson Cloyd’s name called on the intercom at the Bozeman airport on Tuesday for a flight leaving to LAX (he played at Orange Lutheran, so must have been him). Never saw him show, and Hawk said Mon-Wed. We’re normal days with Th/Fri off for players in bye week so don’t know what that was all about.

Spool to 1:28:50 for fake punt in “you had one job” segment. I thought the blue helmets looked pretty slick in person.

Weber up 38-21. Been listening to the EWU feed and it is pretty rich that they are complaining about Weber playing dirty. They have been to some extent, but EWU is no one to complain. An EWU player has been ejected. EWU main announcer is good but the color guy is a big whiner.

Montana State scored all their points in first half then took foot off the pedal and ran pretty much exclusively to run time off clock.

NAU beats SLO in good, close game.

From a source who will remain unnamed. Tattersall is out for the year and so may Buchanan be (who may play <=4 games if able and get a medical redshirt?).

sorry to hear that. You are preaching to the choir here, so maybe a bit misdirected. I am sure no one on this board is that person. My wife and I attended the game and stopped by the tailgate of an msu fan who I had linked up on bobcat nation (we are not player parents). I gave him a NC State shot glass and a sleeve of CA logo golf balls. We had a great experience and ignored the few drunk students who came and went in the section we were in (kind of expected). Otherwise we chatted with the “older” Bobcat fans and had a good time.

only a moderately easier opponent for the Grizz. Their schedule to date has been the easiest in the big sky.

brawl of the wild. I’ll definitely be pulling for Montana State.

ESPN is owned by disney (who yanked their channels from dish and sling on a college football game day). If it isn’t making them more money or hurting their competition they don’t care. What they have done in the past with similar situations is put the subsequent game on ESPN news until the prior game finishes. I don’t know if they did that in this case.

That’s one big Bus. Sorry couldn’t resist.
