Is YSU still considering trying to get out of the contract? That was a rumor a couple months ago. Probably too late at this point but would be funny. I think there was a team they were considering that had a open spot in week 1 but beyond that it's not looking good. Even one game October is going to be tough to fill at this point.


Showing pressure on fourth down in overtime. They bring pressure. Lamson throws...Endzone! Caught! TOUCHDOWN!!! Taco Dowler!

And a kick away from a championship.

Here we go. Miles Sansted. Snap, hold, kick, Up, GOOOOD!! FOR A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!

Heck, there is always Lincoln, they wouldn’t have to travel far.

Looks like Sac has really dug a whole for themselves.

New reporter covering the Bobcats.

On a side note it was nice to see that Grace Lawrence was in Nashville for the NC.
I saw that. She is forever a Bobcat now.
Would be interesting to track where past reporters have gone and succeeded. Seems like you see familiar names across cou try and sometimes natio al broadcast from those who were in Montana early in their careers
Dari Nowkhah was in Kalispell about 20+ years ago before going to ESPN and now to being the head guy at the SEC Network.

Sorry Rams fans, but have to root for the Bears tonight to guarantee there will be a former Bobcat in the Super Bowl.

There isn't one. If the Bears had won tonight it would have been them (Daniel Hardy) vs Seattle (Ty Okada) in the NFC Championship game guaranteeing a former Bobcat in the Super Bowl on the NFC side. There can still be two if the Seahawks and Broncos both win next weekend!

Presley is still unsigned at this point or at least hasn't announced publicly where he's going.

Based on his brief but concerning history he may have to take an offer he will not love just to get on a team. Which means another transfer in a year.

What if they can’t even get to 11 games? I would have thought they’d have more than one FBS matchup scheduled, and at this point it feels like their FBS options are pretty limited much like FCS. Maybe they could squeeze a D-II school in?

The FCS moved to a permanent 12 game season starting this year, so SAC still needs six more games. The problem is, schools sometimes schedule their non-conference games years in advance. That Oregon game for MSU this past season was scheduled way back in 2020, five years before it was played. SAC is in big trouble scheduling games, not only for this season but for the foreseeable future as well. SAC isn't in a conference anymore, so they don't have 8 or 9 definite games already scheduled, they need to find 12. They also need to find teams willing to play them in the months of October and November when those schools are mostly playing conference opponents at that time. Playing DII schools doesn't help them get into the playoffs, especially if they play more than one. I'm just amazed how badly they screwed themselves over leaving the Big Sky before having a plan on how to proceed.

SAC may very well become the new Lincoln University, vagabonds playing mostly away games against bigger and better opponents. Recruiting is going to be tough for them in the future if they don't get an FBS invite.
