The Official-unofficial Bobcat-Drake gameday thread
Week 2 and it's Gold Rush and a Bobcat home game for the first time in almost 2 years!
After last weeks close loss at Wyoming I think it's safe to say that the disappointment from the loss will be washed away this week with a nice home field win!
This week the challenge will be overconfidence and maybe overexcitement that can cause mistakes. I however am not particularly worried by either because these Cats seem to be very "business like" in their play and demeanor. Maybe that's a bit of "the Vigen" beginning to take hold of the team, but I was sure impressed last week by the way the Cats took the field and asserted themselves. This week will be the same, but the difference will be that we aren't playing Wyoming.
I predicted a comfortable win this week with the Offense scoring 38 and the Defense holding Drake to 2 TD's. I may have underestimated both our offense and our defense. This could be a big win week...and to that I will raise a glass!
Go Bobcats!!!

It’s early so I’m raising a cup of coffee. We’ll take off about 12:30 and about 2:30 I’ll raise a glass
Hope to see us run the carpet thread bare with interspersed looks at the tight ends and wide receivers.
Go Cats Go!!!

I think it’s going to be a tough game and an epic GameDay thread meltdown will ensue. Vigen knew Wyoming inside and out. That was a major reason MSU played as well as it did. Drake has some talent and if they’re clicking early and start feeling good about themselves, look out.

You sound like a doubting… oh I won’t go there. Coach Vigen and staff know football so I expect our very solid Bobcats to soundly beat the solid Drake Bulldogs.TomCat88 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 6:41 amI think it’s going to be a tough game and an epic GameDay thread meltdown will ensue.

But anyway, Drake is quite capable of giving MSU a game for numerous reasons.
I’m thinking MSU wins 27-17.

Anyone else trying to login through ESPN+ and having problems? I'm not able to get logged in even though I have a subscription, just curious if any others are as well.

I tried the MSUBOBCATS.COM link too and it only lets me get the radio but no tv. It says my "platform" is not supported. But for the radio it is. I'm doubting MSU is not broadcasting the game. ESPN+ keeps giving me an error message. I will try it again after kickoff. I'd hate to miss it.luckyirishguy25 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 11, 2021 5:19 pmWatching Northern Colorado right now no problems....

The guide on my TV says it is on Fox starting at 6? Will see.
