Re: Dane Steel
Wasn’t Dane the one that scored all of the points in one of those games? Seems like he scored on offenses, defense, special teams and was the kicker also. It was a crazy performance. When you can get Gatorade players, you are doing something right. There are and have been a lot of then on the team including Derek Snell (AK) and I think Isaiah Ifanse. Current ones include Taco, etc. Seems like the GPOY players are often leaders as well as excellent players.

Re: Dane Steel
Yes it was Seth Johnson who made that hit & forced that legitimate fumble that the refs stole from us. 55-23 Cats final score

Re: Dane Steel
Brock is the older brother, Dane is younger

Re: Dane Steel
With Coy being the oldest that played for the Cats.
So that’s:
Coy
Brock’s
Dane
…..or CBD, which any opponent that runs into Steele during a football game needs to help with the pain.

I didn’t see but heard that his TD was #1 on sportscenter last night. One of the most athletic plays I’ve ever seen.RootinfortheCats wrote: ↑Tue Jan 06, 2026 1:20 pmA revelation.

Re: Dane Steel
That's correct and Taco's td run was #4.
While registering my vehicles the assessor stated "I have had both Cat and Griz students and alums work for me and the Griz end up working under the direction of the Cats."

Re: Dane Steel
I believe Dane was originally behind Long on the depth chart, but elevated due to Long's injury. Sure didn't take long to establish himself as an MSU great as a receiver and on ST. (A little surprised he's stayed on ST, but he's a tough kid). Also great to chat with.
Can't make up my mind as to which is better - 55-21 or 48-14, but 34-11 will do, but 48-23 may be the best of all.

Re: Dane Steel
It seems like King was the one whose reps dropped. Long, Steel Dowler, and Woods top 4 by mid season.catscat wrote: ↑Wed Jan 07, 2026 12:01 pmI believe Dane was originally behind Long on the depth chart, but elevated due to Long's injury.

What a great kid!
Coy, I told you years ago that you would make a difference to Montana State and Bozeman Montana. You deserve as much credit as anybody

Dude is a rising star! I would say he was the most surprising breakout player on offense.

Re: Dane Steel
I’ve watched the replay of that TD multiple times. Unreal athleticism.
You best get out the way when the Dane Train is in motion!

Re: Dane Steel
Dan Davies always tells me to give “the scoop” before the game (he’s just humoring me). But this time I told him Dane Steel was going to do something tonight.
