Re: Random stuff 2025
Agreed, this would be an awesome thread on its own that could be updated over time. My memories of Bobcat football don't go back past the '90s but I'd also love to see some choices of a starting lineup of 22 players chosen from this list from posters here who have watched more of the older guys play.

Re: Random stuff 2025
Agree. I think it was a fun tangent, and will leave it to Tom or anyone else if it's going to continue. What I've learned is that two Cat players from the same family is quite common. Three or more... a lot less so. I'd say three or more is what you can call a legacy family of CATS!MSU01 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 05, 2025 8:11 amAgreed, this would be an awesome thread on its own that could be updated over time.

Re: Random stuff 2025
When?
20+ years ago, they would for sure. More recently is more questionable, with teams running 3 and 4 WRs so often, the DSUs putting a bunch of quarterbacks in the NFL, and CB being the team's thinnest position.

Marty was Marty but Jay Kohn was absolutely gawd awful. Guy made mistake after mistake. Kept calling Ah Yat a true freshman for the first few games. Never had the down correct. On and on. Marty has a strange delivery but at least he knows what he was talking about. Jay was terrible.
