The Bobcat Nation

Email just came from Athletics. Game is Friday at 7pm.

We better sell that place out, fans better be back in for the start of the 3rd. This game is going to be insane. Idaho has their QB back, going to be looking for revenge. We need that place to be LOUD!!!

Dang. I wanted the ABC slot on Saturday. NDSU got that to showcase their half empty dome in a blowout over Mercer.
Anyway...was the proximity of the teams a factor? Will Idaho get to fly or will they bus?
Friday night playoff games have been mostly fun-except that time Sam Houston came in an blew us out.

Night games are fun. Not sure how much I like playing on Friday though

Would be interesting to understand the reason behind this decision.

They should get to fly, Moscow to Bozeman is 451 miles which is just over the bus mileage threshold.

main difference last time I was in the stadium this seasonm Friday ill be working in seattle. or more likely "sick"

College kids are still in town hopefully

We will kill Idaho. It’ll be worse than the first time. Idaho looked bad against a terrible opponent.

I didn’t see much accuracy from the Idaho QB. Looked more like ‘huck it down there and hope my guy can run under it’.

My guess is it won’t be a sell out. Probably 14-15k. Friday night with no time to plan (time off work, company Christmas parties, motels, etc). I still think it’s better than 10am Saturday.

Current forecast for Friday night is around 30 degrees to start, cooling down to 21 as the night goes on.
Idaho will struggle in the cold away from their temperature-controlled dome. Not a big fan of this scheduling tho. We'll be there regardless. Several fellow season ticket holders around us at yesterday's game were speculating this would be the schedule and none were in favor of it. Graduation is Friday morning. Hope some students and parents stick around to help fill the stands, otherwise it will be tough for a lot of out-of-town folks to make the trip after work. Overnight lodging in the area is going to be $$$$$.
Anyway, Go Cats!

Yep!

Though I was a jerk for saying we beat UTM by 20+ easily too. After all they were in the final 16.

We roll again.

The last Friday night playoff game was two years ago, I believe, against Bill and Mary and the crowd was decent.

Attendance was 14,367 according to the official box score. Not a sell out but it was definitely a great atmosphere especially after MSU got rolling and started the blowout.

Yup

If we play the same game we played yesterday… we will crush their soul. In my opinion that was the most complete near perfection GAME we have played all year. I’ve been telling family members and fellow fans I know that if we stay reasonably healthy and play the game we played yesterday, NO ONE will beat us…we’re that focused and that good and most of all, that well coached!
