Golden Coolie Questions

Did I miss anything?

The background is the best part!

[Run-the-ball]

Full of emotion today. Love listening to the instant reaction show, feeling the vin, and there is the other side. Potentially losing Vigen.
We know it is going to happen at some point, but the timing is like a kick to the sack.
It’s hard to think about the what could happen. Trying to focus on our program and not just players.
Go Cats!

Is there ever a good time to announce you’re leaving?

The day after winning the national championship.

Ding Ding Ding! A better question would be... what is the absolute worst time to announce you're leaving?

Here is a funny scenario:
Vigen does leave, however, he takes Ah yat, Gillman, and brooks Davis with him.

Who would you rather have to replay for the semi finals? A healthy South Dakota State team or a rematch of the Griz with their DBs back?

[bobcatfan123]

Compared to last year, do you think our chances of winning it all are better, worse, or about the same?

That's a great question that I've thought about, we'll have to discuss that one tonight!

[Chillslc]

Do you think Vigen is leaving and if so who do you think would be a good replacement? Maybe Bobby Daly. Of course they are going to crush Yale/Youngstown, back ups in before the 4th.

[RedClowder]

After the NC loss in January coupled with losing many starters to graduation/the portal and the loss of multiple coordinators, can you review your expectations for this year and how well did the team meet them in the regular season?

I was down in the offseason and then the double OT loss to SDSU really gave me pause; did we lose too much, how will the players respond to the new offensive system, how’s this Lamson kid going to perform, what’s the offensive line going to look like, etc etc.

10 straight wins, winning an all time classic in Missoula and sealing up back to back undefeated conference records and the outright Big Sky Championship exceeded my expectations for the year. After EWU, I felt it was possible but the way the team went to work each week was great to watch!

Would still suck.

[coloradocat]

Any chance you can have MSU hook you up with ESPN to give them the keyword for this game? What would the word be?

Since it's Yale, I would go with top hat, monocle or monopoly man.

What did you see in the Yale game that brings you optimism moving to the quarterfinals?

D still had the bend not break and made plays to win.

[liqud360]

Are points on the board indicative of how good a team is…are the Cats slipping?

[Long Time Cat]

My recollection is the Cats have not been as sharp after bye weeks. Do you think the game against Yale is a reflection of that or something else?

[Common Cat]

Just curious- does anyone else take a “Foley walk”?
