Off season random *^%$

So we are favored to win the Big Sky? WE have a brutal conference schedule.

MSU could lose more games than all those teams but still be ranked higher because of the strength of schedule. I don't know if these voters think MSU will win the conference, but a higher ranking nationally doesn't mean a better place in the conference standings.

Exactly. Stupid lopsided uneven BS conference. Two teams could be very evenly matched, and one has a HUGE advantage over the other in terms of BS title hopes, due to scheduling.

MSU could go 8-3 (6-2) and still get a Top 8 seed. They just can’t have any losses to non-playoff teams and the FCS committee has been good over the last 10 years of looking closely at SOS.

Win every home game and one of Wyoming/EWU/Weber/Montana on the road and that should be enough.

Bobcats by the Numbers profiles are very candid this year.

Some of them have them Montana schools flipped. But what sucks is how far down the rest of the BSC is....
Wondering who else may drop to D2., Or DIII!
U of Harford going from DI to DIII.

And the scholarship students have filed legal proceedings to stop it.

Not football related, but what a cool opportunity for a MSU student who may want to go into bball coaching.

Maybe a commitment? Although he hasn’t done that for anyone else

Have you been reading them? Player A will get playing time if he gets stronger. Player B will get playing time if he gets healthy.etc..etc. They just seem a little more honest from years past.

Oh, gotchya... maybe that's Vigen's style. I only read a couple of them but thanks for the reminder! I'll go see if I can find the archived ones on the website. I was thinking people posted those here in years' past... I don't go to a lot of other websites on a regular basis.

Thank you! I have no idea how you found that, but I've been looking for this for way too long! Couldn't find these daily updates on BN, or Twitter, and I was finding just the last few on MSUBobcats.com... but wasn't finding this archive link. Thanks again.

Was looking for Ifanse highlights on YouTube and stumbled onto this little beauty. This was a fun one to relive. Enjoy!

This is one area that MSU I think can massively improve upon - highlight reels of players. Any FCS player of significance has a highlight reel somewhere on YouTube generally, but want to find a highlight of Troy Andersen's recording breaking QB season? Good luck.

You mean you haven’t watched this at least 50 times since the end of the 2019 season?
