Very cool symmetry, hopefully if MSU wins on January 5 it's not another 41 years until they get the next one! I thought this thread was going to be about who will wear #41 next year. My vote goes to Caden Dowler although he could potentially share #41 with Taco as they play on opposite sides of the ball. I like Taco retaining #14 though and having them wear reversed jersey numbers.

Not to get this thread further off track but both of them wearing 41 would be really cool.

Them being reversed too is a really cool idea! Would be pretty awesome either way!

Also, 44 refers to the Gemini AI Base 44 platform, and Gemini of course in Greek mythology is represented by the twins Castor and Pollux. Castor (Caden) and Pollux (Taco). Well, the last one there dosent work so well, but we could spin it and say in mythology Pollux seduced Leda disguised as a swan, however update the swan to a taco and he still wins the girls heart. :lol:

There was so much hype last year with it being 40 years since winning the natty, that I'm hoping we don't fall into a bunch of that this year with the 41. It's cool for sure, but I really feel it was so much last year, from that senior laden team, undefeated record, Tommy winning the Payton, etc. I'm not sure what caused the first half meltdown, maybe all of that, maybe Vigen interviewing for WSU, maybe none of that. But I just hope the whole team can stay focused and win that sucker this year.

McCone county seat is in Circle. :kicksrock: :-k

In the 2020 census, the official population was 1729. If you add 17 and 29 you get 46.
So if they transfer portal existed between the two, you could get across the state pretty quick!

@TomCat88 On this cool #41 note, didn’t you mention earlier in the season that the only times MSU & UM have ever won a national title was in years they won the Brawl on the road??

In my mind that made more sense at the time. Welp, that’s the last time I listen to my wife when she said the eggnog she bought from the liquor store needed booze added too it. Ughh… She was joking obviously 8-[
