Huge loss. I spoke to him once and was a stand-up guy imho. Wish him the best. He will always be a Bobcat to me no matter where he lands. I still remember hearing him chant ESGGCG.. ahhh; music to my ears
You, too? That’s funny — that Jaharie impersonator sucked in a lot of people. Don’t feel too badly. 😂

Not trying to "me monster" that great jaharie story, but, I once saw a chupacabra that looked just like Bobby hauck. It was crazy. Probably just a coyote with mange though...

I saw him walk out with the team at the basketball game. I bet that was tough for him. I really hope he changes his mind as I think he could see some more time this year on special teams and maybe as a fullback. Time will tell.

Man, I wish this guy the best, but I’m still scratching my head a bit on this one and why he left…. He appeared to be the replacement for RJ, with a big role going forward….

Anyway, I really do wish him good luck moving forward. Will be interesting to see where he lands.

Yeah, I hope he finds what he is looking for. Nice young man.

Yes, he is a good young man. He was really hampered by hamstring problems most of his time here. I thought this would be the year he would break out. This must be an eye opener for him not getting any Div1 offers yet. Hard to figure. I hope he finds something.

It seems to me the fullback position is going to be filled with a tight end. Taller, bigger bodies and pass blockers with hands to catch little flairs and slow developing runs down the middle.
But on the other hand, tech is building a team for a deep playoff run.

Wow, if he was on scholarship that's a tough one to swallow.

So, maybe his goal is to become a mining engineer. If he would go to Tech, he’d absolutely run over some weaker defenders. Since he lifts over 600#, I always wondered why he didn’t just take up a defensive lineman in each hand and throw them away later.

Does Tech still have a highly rated petroleum engineering program that competes with Rice for top ratings? Or did the BOR screw them over when they placed Tech in the university side with Western controlled by UM?

Yes. Montana Tech still has Petroleum Engineering. One of the Alums is the CEO of ConocoPhillips. He just gave $ 31 M USD to the Engineering school.

If he ends up in the Frontier Conference, linebackers and safeties should be very scared…

I mean he'll just try to hurdle them first!

I still want to see him clean two defensive linemen at once (jerks or not). 😂

Can you actually come back after entering the portal? Would the players and coaches be willing to bring back someone that entered the portal?

Sure, a player can withdraw his name from the Transfer Portal and return to his original school if the school still has a spot open and wants the player back. No clue how Vigen and staff feel about this though or if they would entertain the thought of bringing someone like Martin or Ifanse back.

This question was asked Vigen recently at one of their alumni meet and greets. My take is that his position is that once a player enters the portal they are gone and that he is against players just testing the waters. Navigating the portal waters appears to be a work in progress for most coaching staffs.

That seems like the right answer. Maybe if the player makes a good enough argument for why he entered and why he should return he can come back as a PWO but testing the waters should cost him his scholarship at a minimum.


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!
