I'm honestly shocked we were able to hang on to nearly all of our top players. Vigen, his staff, the athletics staff, President Tessman, alumni/donors...etc. have really stepped up this year. Kudos to everyone...LET'S RUN THIS THING BACK!!!!
I was thinking about this the other day. I'd say there was around 15 thousand Bobcat fans in Nashville for the game and thousands of more watching back home. There are currently around 800 QB club members. I know, people give to MSU in a variety of ways and not everyone can afford the $1K for yearly QB club dues, but can you imagine if the Cats could get another one thousand QB club members and what that would do for team, NIL, etc.? Sheesh!
If people donated as much money as they did requesting Mony Mony, we’d be in great shape.
Hmmm, official BobcatNation NIL fundraiser. Every time a poster posts a non sequitor griz mention, mentions mony mony or the ESG GCG chant that poster owes $50 to the Bobcat Collective. 8)

Here why the attendance was under reported. Nashville only has the game locked in for one more year. This year is when the bidding is open for the next contract so best to under report so the other towns will bid according to a lesser crowd. Nashville knows the true financial impact, the other city’s are using a smaller number.

Now would be a great time @AFCAT to push the MSU QB Club out into the socialsphere to ride the momentum from the NC win!

Was wondering how the "local chapters" work. Will I be contacted by the local group based the address I used for registration?

Where are you located? If your City does not have a chapter you usually get put in the Bozeman chapter. I think you can ask to be in a certain chapter if you want. The best one is in Billings. :D I am in the BIllings chapter and we send out welcome letters when we get the name of new members from the powers in Bozeman

BQC Chapters - there is even one in Missoula! One in Boise! If you cannot get to a local meeting, let them know and you can get access remote. I have often watched the live from Phoenix or other places if traveling. QBC is not the only so if you cannot do $1000 there, give to collective. They were giving 41 Flags in Nashville to new Gold Members! Heard that we are over 850 in the BQC now! Lets go, we need to keep pushing to keep this machine moving!

Question on the FBS transfers. Since Carson Williams transferred to Indiana, could he theoretically play in the chipper on Monday?

I know he won't, but just curious if he could.

And if that would be allowed, what's to stop a team that's still playing from scooping up some other great players for the playoffs or the natty?

they would probably have to cut somebody but beyond that I believe the portal transfers are for the following year.

You have to play for that team and have been enrolled at that school in the fall semester. No portalers can play for their new team in the CFP.

Well it's nice to see there's at least one rule still in place that makes some sense in the No Control Athletic Association.

Just FYI; being a collective Gold member can be as expensive as a regular QB club membership. Depending on your age, the QB club membership can be cheaper. You can give anything to the collective though or just purchase a shirt or hoodie for a few bucks. They need to sell those 41 flags, that would bring in some cash.

Bobcat athletics is a business to the coaches, school leadership, and players. It's time the fans treat Bobcat athletics as a business too.

Not totally sure but I think this means Jordan Reed intends to return.

Guys. Quit worrying about it. We have lost who we have, and that was expected. We may not see a single portal transfer to MSU as many are waiting for. We may hear 1-2 by the end of the week but it’s doubtful.

We don’t need the portal like the Griz do. I’m more optimistic about next years team than I was about this years! And I early on thought this years team was better than last years. Let’s ride!

PS. No other player of significance is leaving..
Good posting!

I saw all the transfers the griz have had commit and of course they are back to world champions. What we have is a program and have become a well oiled machine. We will get our transfers here, however, I think a lot more goes into who we take and the conditions that have led them here. Not just throwing out a large net and bringing in whoever bites.
Many of us/you/them were panicked we didn’t bring in DB’s with our loses to graduation and mainly the portal after last season. Everyone proclaimed all we had was a bunch of unproven freshman. We all thought that was going to be the missing point of our team this year along with Tommy moving along . I’d argue this year’s DB’s along with a passing QB brought us the chipper.

Book Nashville now for next year..
Already have!!!!!
How did you do that out of curiosity? I tried to do it already but the normal places where I book flights don't seem to go out that far... can only book until December of this year.
NCAA has a pre-sale for tickets so I signed up for that. The hotel I picked will take long term reservations. Flights I am not worried about.
Gotchya, thanks! Lodging is super cheap and game tickets won't sell out so airfare is the ONLY thing I'm worried about in terms of trying to get tickets for under $1,000 - so will probably book refundable tickets as soon as they're available.


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

If North Dakota state is playing the bobcats it is very likely to sell out.
