The Bobcat Nation

Some rocky mountain oysters for the students! Not a bad marketing strategy!?

My boss when I was a teenager had a good friend that had a huge sheep ranch. At the end of the season I would help out on the big weekend when they did their cutting. There would be a big oyster fry and all the beer we could drink.

Up 41-29 at the half. So far so good.

We are ahead 64-59 With 5 minutes to go. ISU had a 10-0 run in less than 2 minutes to make this a game again. BOBCATS offense is looking a bit lost right now.

This team is so frustrating to watch.

Cardiac Cats in full effect.

Belo had some great blocks tonight!

Did we win? It looked like a lock...

We basically won 4 point lead, 4 seconds left, and ISU is doing desparation fouls.

Looked like we were cruising. ISU has no bigs. Belo and Kirby were dominating. Adamu was getting to the rim at will. Credit to ISU coach Ryan Looney. He drew a tough hand and he's squeezing everything out of this ISU bunch. They haven't won much, but they are always hanging around. The guy can coach. They threw up a funky diamond half-court trap and fell back into a saggy zone and we started trying to milk clock and lost our mojo. Then ISU started just throwing the ball in the general direction of the rim and they all seemed to fall. Luckily they missed a lot of free throws-or we would have lost. Another ugly game, but a Bobcat win!

Geez, the announcers were positively vanilla! As neutral as I have ever heard. Sounded like a tennis match! If the Bobcat weren't on the floor you would have never known where it was being played.

Whoever runs our hockey team should have a chat with them. They were recognized in the 2and half. While they were sitting around waiting in their jerseys, only a handful would be bothered to stand for the fight song. In no way shape or form am I a you have to stand guy. I'm just saying it's a bad look for 80% of the team to not stand.

Well they're a club team, so "whoever runs our hockey team" is probably in large part the players who were there.

If students actually start showing up to games again, I couldn't care less whether they sit, stand, or take a knee during the fight song.

They only rarely if ever gave player point totals or other stats. I think most listeners appreciate getting those. I had no idea until after the game. Pretty balanced performances for Adamu, Belo and Frey. I watched the men’s game on a recording after the women’s game so could not use LiveStats without divulging the winner.
