The Cats are Getting Suicidal

This is an actual post on their site. Makes me almost feel sad for our little community college brethren to the East:



MSU vs. UM and the state of MSU athletics

Unread postby aucat on Thu Feb 23, 2012 2:23 pm
From a Bobcat vs. Griz point of view, the 2011-2012 year has not been so great to date. So let's examine where we stand:

Football. Granted, ten wins, a co-BSC championship, a BRIEF ranking of #1 and a home win in the FCS playoffs were great. Getting blown out by the Griz on our HOME FIELD was not so great. With the new Bobcat Stadium, we expected a big home field advantage---at least a TD. Didn't happen.

Future prospects: Things look pretty solid. No suggestions going forward. Coach Ash has made great progress. He just needs to start beating the Griz on a regular basis, so let's beat the Griz at their place next year.

Women's BB: Again, what happened to the home court advantage? Early on, it appeared that we might just be the best in the Big Sky. However, we did not take care of business on our home court.
Future prospects: Coach Binford has this team on the right track. Maybe we'll beat the Lady Griz at their place on Sat.

Volleyball: New coach is coming in. This sport receives great support and it is an exciting event for fans to watch. We should NOT be the doormat of the BSC.
Future prospects: Looks like we have a winner coming in. Lots of optimism here.

Men's BB: Grim. My prediction is that we will suffer a blowout loss on Sat. The talent gap between the Cats and Griz is simply staggering.
Future prospects: If Coach Huse had not received a contract extension I think there would be considerable pressure to end his tenure at the end of this season. However, I feel sure he will be back. Next year will be what, his 7th year ? If the Cats are not serious contenders for the BSC next year, I think there will be lots of pressure to make changes. Personally, I hope Huse finally turns the corner next year and begins fielding teams that can compete. But his recruiting to date has not been sufficient to do that.

All I know is, I am SICK and TIRED of losing to the Griz in every sport we play them in. I really can't think of another state where one state university has "owned" the other as UM has owned MSU. As I said above, I think we have the right coaches in place in football, women's bb and volleyball to balance this rivalry out. We'll have to see how the men's bb plays out.

MSU is a great institution and has a great fan base. Bozeman is a great college town. There is simply NO excuse whatsoever for a continuation of this UM dominance over MSU in athletics. The students, administration, alumni and fans should demand that it not be tolerated. And don't try to convince me that we have to lower our academic and character standards to achieve success. Coach Ash has already demonstrated that we can have high quality student-athletes who are capable of competing for championships.

Will ya quit yanking on the chain, already. Get used to the idea; it's going to be that way for a very, very long, long time.

Besides, look on the bright side, isn't all that suffering supposed to build character; you should be thankful.

He forgot to mention Monte kicks Champs (stubby) tail and our girls are better looking too

That post and this thread are a nice demonstration of why your local public message board might not be the best place to bare your soul when things aren't going well.

Don't you mean "Co-Champ" I thought that was his name.

I think we have the right coaches in place in football, women's bb and volleyball to balance this rivalry out.

Unrealistic expectations are what lead to frustration, depression and suidcide.

This does not meet the criteria of a rivalry. Rivalries have some semblance of balance. We need a peer for a rival. We once had one in Idaho.

If you ask me, the cats kicked our butts in the poster deal of the girls from some bar whom were not wearing their tops. That was a cool poster, so they got us on one thing.

The more things change.... the more they stay the same.

Why does it say "I" wrote that? I quoted a clueless and despondent Cat, I don't think it's a rivalry either.

i'm glad he feels that way, but is that guy for real? in the major sports the cats are doing a helluva lot better now than they have been the last 20+ years, especially wommen's bball and football.

Besides, Bozeman is cold with tons of shade during the winter months.

Tomatoes won't grow, liberals have left Missoula and moved to Bozeman, coach Ash is near the second coming......oops, Huse is a great coach but the dirty football players keep killing off the best basketball players. Ouch!

On and on the problems go with sports in Bozeville. Next year we mash them in football right in in Wa Griz with 120,000 fans watching! Yeah, they be mashed!

Nothing changing for the next100+ years. Get used to it cat peeing fans!

You're weird.

I thought the track team was beating up the BB players. That was one soft FB team, I doubt they could beat up a BB player.

the kitties will own the Griz when........
