That probably depends on where you want your money to go - to help support all student-athletes at MSU, the Bobcat Club is the way to go. If you're passionate about a single sport and want your entire donation to go there, then a QB/6th Man/Fast Break Club(WBB)/VB/T&F Club donation is also a great option. If you're donating a smaller amount I'd stay away from donating to the facilities plan at this time just because we don't know how far down the road it's going to be before the next phase of the plan is fully funded and ready to go. A Bobcat Club or sport-specific donation helps the most now as opposed to a facilities donation which may well sit around doing nothing for a few years before anything happens with it.Catfanatic84 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 9:06 amReceived an email from the Bobcat Club celebrating the "Year of the Bobcat". Quite a list of accomplishments, both athletically and academically. It ended with an appeal to consider a gift to the Bobcat Club. Is this the best place to donate? Or should it be to the facilities plan or 6th man club, QB club etc? I don't have a lot to give, but want to make it as effective as possible.

Alright alright…..so maybe that wasn’t a “Pinch Me” worthy item….but fun to see!
Great time to be a BOBCAT!

I guess we overlooked the MSU Rugby Club. They play Div 2 and played in the National championship this year.

Re: Pinch Me
I wonder if we can get a hell yeah for another endowment. Maybe a few computer science scholarships for football players?
BOZEMAN — Montana State University today announced a $5.6 million gift from Larry and Anne Hambly that will enhance the university’s offerings in the rapidly growing field of computer science, enabling groundbreaking research and expanded opportunities for graduates whose skills are increasingly in demand in Montana and nationwide.
The donation will establish the Hambly Chair in Computer Science, an endowed professorship that enables MSU to hire an additional faculty member with demonstrated expertise that will benefit MSU students, according to John Paxton, director of the Gianforte School of Computing in MSU’s Norm Asbjornson College of Engineering. Paxton anticipates the new professor would start in fall 2023.

Re: Pinch Me
I know we would love to see these big donors give to athletics, this however is what will ensure MSU and Bobcat Athletics future success. Look over the hill and witness what investment in only athletics does for a university.Montanabob wrote: ↑Sat Apr 09, 2022 6:32 pmI wonder if we can get a hell yeah for another endowment.

That's awesome!

Re: Pinch Me
Really nice video. Here the thing. Next year has the makings to be even better, particularly with the Brawl Series. I see improvements in basketball, volleyball, and of course, I truly believe the football team will win in Bozeman. Still should see domination over the gris in all the track and field programs. Not many points left for the gris to capture. Those poor bastards.

Re: Pinch Me
I think that's right. I know this is an extreme long shot but add Jonsen and Singleton to that list and can you imagine if the Cats had 8 players on rosters next year?
I'd put the over\under around 4 or 5.

Re: Pinch Me
That might be true...but Drake Schneider's 400K hurdle time was only 2 seconds slower than Edwin Moses' personal best-the guy who dominated that event for a decade. I don't think his Big Sky record is going to fall for a long long time-if ever!TomCat88 wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 3:03 pmIt’s been a year at MSU, but I’m comfortable saying two of five best male athletes at MSU were on track team.Bobcat4Ever wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 1:33 amThat is an excellent performance!
