in person his arm looks strong. The pass with someone breathing down his neck that was intercepted near the goal line in Montgomery was flung 50-55 yards. Also some long cross-field throws were delivered with some zip.

Moscow should be easy to get tickets for on the general market. Bozeman would be very expensive on the third party market. Montana State usually has a sellout and you are purchasing someone’s ticket with a big market. I had a bad experience with vivid seats (for Montana State in 2022) as they don’t release tickets until the last minute and you may have plunked down a lot of money in hotel and air travel before having tickets in hand. If possible going through USD would be better but I think you would need some sort of status to have those available to you.

what happens if the random number is 43? Sorry, I had to go there.

didn’t notice while watching, but Plough said almost all our WRs were out in the third quarter due to the humidity (IVs).

We noticed the injury “tent” out on the second half and after Plough mentioned the IVs it dawned on me that the tent would have been IV central. No visible injuries to use the tent so that’s what was going on, along with mister fan pointing into it.

The South Dakota State fans will have their “JV” signs out and perhaps matching cheers.

I think Fisher needs to get more carries. As much as I like Perez, I think it’s gotta be primarily Fisher and Vargas getting most of the carries. One thing I noticed was the lack of swing passes out of the backfield although we don’t have a Lan Larison who did such a great job of that

Jordan Fisher must of had at least a dozen relatives at the Mercer game. They all had shirts with their relationship to Jordan. I thought that was pretty neat.

I think there is a rule in which you can’t hit the field goal snapper while rushing the kick - at least initially. The guy that blocked the kick for Mercer looked like he contacted the snapper and bit him on his butt. Maybe the refs thought he mostly sneaked through a gap. Of course it is a moot point but at the time it was big - would have put the Ags up 2 scores

Agreed. The long pass was pretty much either chuck it or get sacked as there was a defender in his face and it was equivalent to a very good punt assuming if sacked it would have been third and long. That throw showed me that he has a pretty big arm.

The missed and blocked field goals were big. Missed one looked good from the stands but I guess wide left? It dawned on me that if it hadn’t been an ESPN game with the frequent and long commercial breaks the game would have finished prior to the lightning.

Keep in mind that there are schools throughout the south and Midwest that have weather like this.

Absolutely correct - pretty much anywhere east of the Mississippi you are subject to weather like this.

Still lightening. Sitting in car I’m parking lot but may head back to tje motel. I think it’ll be another hour at least.

Another flash. Raining here too.

I think so but not sure.

Another bolt.

Just saw more lightning

I think at least 30 minutes if lightning in the area. But cells are popping up here so could be longer.

Couldn’t tell from the stands if the kick was low or if someone broke through the line to block the kick. Those 3 points would have been big.

yah, I was pleasantly surprised with Vargas. Quite a few Aggie fans here. Sitting next to Paul Sheldon’s mother-in-law.

Defense is after it so far.

wow. A big upset. Many “experts” were really talking up Incarnate Word.

10-0 Idaho State. Bengals have a 6’6” wide out who is also a high jumper. UNLV has yet to figure out how to stop ISU. Bengals may surprise some people this year.
