Houck mentions rematch in postgame
I certainly don't want to get ahead of any playoff games, but wouldn't it be something if we DID have a rematch with
the gris in Bobcat Stadium? First things first though. There are other very dangerous teams out there that we have to go through, but I love the fact that we will now have the homefield advantage all the way! Go Cats!

If we have a rematch in Bozeman the griz will be lucky to keep our victory margin to single digits.
Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

Re: Houck mentions rematch in postgame
It might not be this year but it's only a matter of time before the Cats and Griz do play each other in the playoffs at some point. I've always wondered if a playoff game would cause the trophy to change hands again if the regular season loser won the playoff game.

Re: Houck mentions rematch in postgame
There probably isn't a rule for that, but when you look at games in the BSC tournament in VB or BB, that doesn't affect the Brawl Series score. Obviously that's a different set of rules, but I'd argue the postseason matchup doesn't count for the trophy exchange. Just my argument, but I could see the other side of the coin too.MSU01 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 22, 2025 10:34 pmIt might not be this year but it's only a matter of time before the Cats and Griz do play each other in the playoffs at some point.

Re: Houck mentions rematch in postgame
Also, doesn't the trophy already have little placeholders for every year in the future, or is it just the current/next year that is on there blank? There might not be room for extra years.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Sat Nov 22, 2025 10:38 pmThere probably isn't a rule for that, but when you look at games in the BSC tournament in VB or BB, that doesn't affect the Brawl Series score.

Good point.

Re: Houck mentions rematch in postgame
I'd guess you're right and that the trophy would stay with the regular season winner, but it would be rather awkward for the team to have it for 11 months knowing they lost a more important playoff game.kennethnoisewater wrote: ↑Sat Nov 22, 2025 10:38 pmThere probably isn't a rule for that, but when you look at games in the BSC tournament in VB or BB, that doesn't affect the Brawl Series score.

Re: Houck mentions rematch in postgame
Article about the trophy. I'm thinking it only travels based on the winner of the Brawl.

Even if it does move with a playoff win, it's just moving back into the BAC after getting some fresh air for about 30 minutes.
