A business-savvy website owner would pay a few notable MSU athletes a couple of hundred bucks to wear a t-shirt and talk about their Bobcat website to classmates and hand out flyers and a mass email to contacts with the website address to see if it increases membership. Seems like a low-risk investment.

Have they said how much Troy was given from the R Bar?

Bump, I was really curious about this too. Also curious on the details of the contract. When Troy says, join me here at the R-Bar after every home game, I wonder if that's really a requirement of the contract, that he has to make an appearance every time.


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

So do we know of any other MSU athletes getting deals? Men or women? Any people monetizing their social media?

I thought this was pretty amazing. A Weber state cheerleader has 1.7 million followers on TikTok

See Willie, this is what you do with your arms when the ball is punted to you.

It’s called ‘punt return’ and your title is punt returner. It is not called point at the bouncing ball played by the dancing guy that helps the ref spot the ball.

Seems like I see it whenever I watch football though. It’s not just Willie.

The fact they didn't end this with a "Hey, touchdown!" when they get into the R bar is a huge miss.

I heard Troy has that phrase trademarked and will be coming out with a line of "Hey, Touchdown!" clothing gear. :wink:
