The most unofficial Bobcat gameday thread - Idaho State

[BleedingBLue]

Good thing the head linesman knows the rules about timeouts Vigen is heated about that BS. BSC officiating at its finest.

I was watching in a place with no sound. What was the issue?

He tried to give ISU a second consecutive timeout before their TD to end the 1st half.

Secondary is bad.

Humphrey and Jones are a dangerous 1-2 punch.

You literally have no clue what you're taking about. They aren't bad. They are the best but they are avg. Tracy is throwing some darts. Nearly every big catch was contested and we won our fair share.

When a team throws as much at this, they're going to win some. They've scored 17 points...... every single team in the country would take defense that's had given up 17pts with a couple of high quality throws and catches.. like you do realize they are d1 athletes as well? They are going to make some plays

This fits. Never met a Texan who doesn’t have an overinflated sense of self righteousness.

my self righteousness isn't what we're talking about. You don't know football. Break down WHY the secondary play was bad...please enlighten my self righteous self......break down the coverage responsibilities the routes being run and then tell me the why the secondary's tech was bad....to validate your claim of "they played bad".

They had 4 bad plays and you are saying they played bad.....that has nothing to do with my self righteousness and has everything to do with your lack of football knowledge...it seems if they aren't perfect then they are bad. I stated several times they do in fact need to improve, the do need to cut down on the big plays...but they didn't play bad. They played about avg if you watch ANY games other than MSU you would know that.....so unless you can give me a full breakdown(like I have done on multiple occasions...you know to validate my statements) then there is nothing else you need to say to me....now if you would like to give that full breakdown I will be more than willing to engage in what you are seeing vs what I'm seeing.

BOOM!!!
BBT is to this board what Adam Jones is to the RB room...a breakout player. Nominating for post of the year. BBT reminds me of Fred Lynn his first year with the Boston Red Sox when he won Rookie of the Year and MVP. Or more recently Shohei Otahni(sp?).

Gotta say, so proud of the Bobcat fans. I'm sitting across the field from them but they are so AWESOME!!!

Ditto, I was ten rows up on the 48 same side as the Bobcat group and I could not see them, but I sure could hear them. Their cheers were more of group cheer than anything I heard out of the Bengals all game long. I think the Bengals cut Mony Mony short because they could tell it was building up to be extra loud.

Yeah, the fans were huge yesterday. I tried to get a tweet out about them. Maybe I did. They almost blew up that end of the half drive for ISU. Got a false start call on them on the road. How often does that happen? The only sections of the stadium that were full of fans were the two MSU fans were in, plus there were others scattered around. Leo Davis (radio commentator) also mentioned them after the game, as did Vigen, Uluilakepa and R. Jones. Games in Cheney and Portland will be interesting to see the turnout. More and more fans are learning how fun it is to go to road games.

Opposing teams haven’t figured out the Mony Mony thing yet. It’s kinda funny.

[canyoncat]

Got the win on the road. Still things to be cleaned up. Would still like to see a more consistent passing attack. Would like to see the middle worked a little more. Unless they are taking the middle away and forcing Tommy to work those short sideline passes. My untrained eye would not see that. Get that passing game going a little more and it will open up our already dangrous ground game.

I think they absolutely know about Mony Mony and they were 100% trolling us. I thought it was hilarious. They turned it into a muffled announcement of something or another but the fans kept it rolling for a few stanzas!

LOL....I appreciate the extremely kind words...I don't know if I deserve all of that high praise, but again thank you for the kind words.

My thing is I'm all for holding kids accountable to a standard, but when they are meeting the standard lets not saying they are below standard. That's not cool. I've been in these kids shoes and it's not like they are going out there not caring at all. Lets give them some grace and give them time to improve even more. Now when they play bad, trust me I will simply say we are playing bad right now....but we haven't got to that point so lets smile and feel good about being undefeated!!!

[BelgradeBobcat]

Was Hawkins upset by the last TD?

https://www.idahostatejournal.com/sport ... c9393.html

The Pocatello newspaper write up mentioned some ISU players called it "bush" to score on the last play. I haven't heard anything from Hawkins about it. Teams normally take a knee when the opposing team is out of time outs and has no ability to stop the clock. ISU used a time out a play or two before and had one or two more left. All MSU did was run straight ahead. On the last play ISU looked like they were playing flag football. They had every opportunity to stop it from happening and didn't.

LOL, yeah. It's hard to please the know it alls on BN. Lets face it, if our DBs were big enough to contest & skilled enough to be perfect for the entire game, they'd be in the portal at years end.

This unit isn't lights out, but its more than adequate for a Top 5 team.

Dont kick opposing players when they are down.

Then the team that you tried kicking won't run up the score.

Lets face it, the computer systems that help to determine seeds don't know if a TD was scored in garbage time or not, so by taking an knee & NOT running up the score, Cats are making a sacrifice that could hurt the end of the season.

Maybe if ISU plays a clean game, Cats don't feel the need to rub their noses in it.

Just sayin'

Everything I've seen of Hawkins has been highly professional, like Vigen I don't think he'd be the type to bring up issues like this in the media even if he was pissed in the moment. I was pretty shocked that Vigen still had Humphrey and the starting OL in there at the end, he must have been pissed himself about the personal foul call against Brody. Again, Vigen is too much of a professional to ever say this in the media!

After the cheap knee shot from Hayes I think they ought to keep their opinions on what's "bush league" to themselves.

Vigen is a class act, but I have a feeling if you pi** him off....oh boy, watch out.

As Ty alluded to, if you ever did that to Brody outside the friendly confines of a football field, you would regret it.

They deserved what they got.

The lady I sat next to in the Bengal alumni section was disgusted by the number of Cat fans compared to the number of ISU students. Cat fans were more, were louder, and way more into the game. They were stellar! Bobcat fans know how to do football! I even told my family after the game that there's hardly any sitting down at games in Bozeman so Cat fans are well trained on how to be fans, haha!
Another fun fact, they don't allow re-entry if you leave the game, so no half time tailgating. My mom said many ISU fans tend to leave about halfway through the 3rd quarter. Last year ISU was losing a game in the 3rd quarter and the place was nearly cleared out and then they came back to win in the 4th. ISU can build a supportive fan base but it'll take some time. I think Hawkins is on the right track though. When he starts coaching more of his own recruits that'll help too. He's working to right the ship in Pocatello I think.

That comment is hilarious, the person comes off like their only purpose in going to games is to make friends with the opposing fans. Human sacrifice made me laugh out loud!

They definitely are a ‘main character’, but hey, they liked Southern Utah. They like nice teams and fans. Well, Ranger11 when your QB decided to lay his wee little knee on Grebe’s head we will run it down your throats.

[nanacat]

Question... when Adam Jones lost his helmet and they took 10 seconds off the clock, is that new? What type of penalty is that? Chances are it was defensively caused so why is the offense penalized? I just don't remember seeing that before.

[BobcatBuiltTexan]

If ISU fans don't like that we scored.... tell their team not to let them. This college football not some rec league. I've been on the bad end of a few blowouts never was mad at the other team. It is what it is. You don't like something on the field stop it
