Listen, I get that everyone is down about that loss. And I have been a Cat fan for many, many years. I first started rooting for MSU around 1979, when I first started taking interest in football as a young teen. So I have seen a lot of Cat-Griz games. While Saturday's performance was abysmal on our part, believe me - I have unfortunately seen much worse Bobcat play in that game. It's like battle scars; they'll always be there.CodyCat wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 8:46 pmI’ve been a Cat fan for a long time. This wasn’t just a loss. It was pathetic on almost all levels and it’s 100% on the coaching staff. It was a beat down. And I truly don’t think Vigen knows how bad this is and what this means. He may never recover from this.Catbacker_1 wrote: ↑Sun Nov 21, 2021 8:36 pmYou act like we already lost the game. I suggest you become a Alabama fan if you don’t want a loss or two on the record. I understand being emotional about the loss, I’ve seen your emotions pouring out since yesterday afternoon but we still have a lot to play for and we can turn funk around. I’ll be flying in like I have for every home game this season. Already reserved my tickets and purchased a few for the student as well.
I will also be at the game. But our defense is going to have to hold them to fewer points than what the defense can score. And that’s tough.
I come from a time when I remember you could get into Bobcat home games for free, because people were standing outside the gate just giving their tickets away. I remember games where attendance was so small, you could roll a bowling ball down the aisle of your section and not hit anyone. I remember hoping, praying we could win Cat-griz because that one win would make for a successful season.
Fast forward to today - six straight home sellouts this season. These days, the Cats don't just play one game a year for state bragging rights. We play for conference championships, we play for playoff berths, we play for national title aspirations. I truly wish I could send some folks on this board back in a time machine and experience a couple seasons like I experienced, where four wins in a season was a success. It's amazing how far we have come. You want to see how bad Bobcat football used to be? Go attend a Northern Colorado home game. Serious.
Yes - I was pissed Saturday. So much so, I couldn't even sleep that night. I completely understand the depression. But Sunday morning came, our beloved Cats got a playoff seed, and I get to watch at least one more game in one of the most electric college football stadiums in the FCS and hang out with y'all Cat fans. Our seniors deserve a loud crowd. If the opportunity presents itself and you can be there, than all the better. The second season has started - let's stand up & cheer!
