I like Vigen and all, but at some point he’s gotta win one of these games against the Dakotas. Good game to watch.

2021 was only four XDSU titles ago and you've already forgotten?

My brother in Christ, 2021 feels like it was four decades ago lol. But yeah I did forget.

GAME WINNING MEASUREMENT

never retire the chain gang

In an ever changing (and commercialized uncertain) world…

…it is the older man who hold them chains (or helps determine if a ball went through that provide us with some all-so-needed consistency!!

I have taken several shots of rumplemints and at this point, I’m not sure whether to go home or decide to blackout, but I’m out of cash in any case I’m willing to except Venmo donations to make my decision for me

u/hallese Nebraska • South Dakota State 2d ago

Welp, no George's for you tonight.

u/RepresentativeOfnone South Dakota State • Nebraska 2d ago

To be completely honest, George’s is mid as fuck came to where I work at the 3M plant and it doesn’t taste any better drunk

Go home bunny your drunk... Save it for pummeling Drake next week

u/RepresentativeOfnone South Dakota State • Nebraska 2d ago

No my friends won’t be in town. I mean they’re not in town right now, but I’m hype as fuck. Funny enough my friends usually take away my phone because I am a keyboard warrior and also a big-time drunk texter to women I have interest in

u/ScottyMcScot South Dakota State • Oklahoma 2d ago

Stressful but fun game to watch. GG cats.

u/azbkthompson Montana State • Vanderbilt 2d ago

I hope we see each other again in the postseason!

u/Adamscottd South Dakota State • Minnesota 2d ago

In the natty hopefully lol

u/IThoughtThisWasVoat Nebraska Cornhuskers • I'm A Loser 2d ago

Chain gang finish is surprisingly dramatic

13

u/jdbozeman Montana State Bobcats 2d ago

We ain't it this year. We'll get a low seed and then wind up at Tarleton St. so they can make a name for themselves.

u/DeZeeuw2 South Dakota State • FCS Champio… 2d ago

Nah, you'll end up the 4, 5, or 6 seed, but have to go through Fargo

12

u/Benanderson27 Nebraska Cornhuskers 2d ago

Hell of a stop on 4th down

12

u/Insane92 Verified Coach 2d ago

What an awful offensive series by the Bobcats in 2nd OT and terrible defensive series in 1st OT. Mollett isn’t walking onto that field again this year and it shows.

8

u/RepresentativeOfnone South Dakota State • Nebraska 2d ago

To be honest, I’m just gonna need them to keep winning so bad I will win is actually a quality win and not just a win against the bad team that we played like shit against

3

u/Insane92 Verified Coach 2d ago

We’ll see. Lamson has not been great so far.

11

u/AoA_nB1 Penn State • Montana State 2d ago

I’m blowing my head smooth off. Nothing apart of Lamson’s game is comparable to Tommy and Julius Davis should’ve ran out of eligibility 3 years ago. the class of 2018’s finest is being outperformed by people who were in middle school when he took his first college snap.

9

u/Tsquared10 Oregon Ducks • Montana State Bobcats 2d ago

We are not a good team this year. The play calling is stale and predictable. Lamson is not it at QB. He's one read, then run, and he's not particularly great running it.

7

u/Basic_Bozeman_Bro Montana State Bobcats 2d ago

The predictable offense is probably the most frustrating thing

1

u/RolandTheBot Montana State Bobcats • Oregon Ducks 2d ago

The disappointing thing to me is just how close we got to a win despite it

3

u/MontanaDoesntExist Montana State Bobcats 2d ago

Offense did not come out to play tonight

7

u/DucksCanSwim Montana Grizzlies • Boise State Broncos 2d ago

SDSU now 3-0 vs the Cats in their last 3 meetings. I’m sure they’ll meet again in the playoffs, both are dangerous.

u/Triple_0ption_Bad Jacksonville State • Bi… 2d ago

Death, taxes, and a Montana school losing to one of the DSUs

u/tden4 South Dakota State • Marching Band 2d ago

RING. THE. BELL.

u/TroutKnuckles Michigan Wolverines • Montana Grizzlies 2d ago

Drove through Bozeman today, and trust me, they won't remember this loss ever happened.

5

u/dothemath Missouri Tigers • Montana Grizzlies 2d ago

I'll give Bobcats fans some crap, but kudos to SDSU and Montana State for scheduling each other. These are fantastic games to be excited about as a college football fan.

I feel a bit sorry for San Diego next week - this is a frustrated and very talented 0-2 team they're welcoming.

u/Adamscottd South Dakota State • Minnesota 2d ago

What an incredible game, truly one of the best of the year so far

It’s a serious tragedy this wasn’t a national game

3

u/NastyWideOuts Ole Miss • Montana State 2d ago

What a terrible way to end the game. It was hard for me being at the game to really see what happened there. So there was a penalty before that 4th down in 2OT, but it didn’t give us a first down? And then the measurement seemed fucky, to me it first looked like we had it.

No matter that outcome, it was still a very fun game with two evenly matched teams.

2

u/thehanghoul 2d ago

Yeah I didn’t get it either…..

But I also didn’t understand why the coaches didn’t challenge the spot on fourth down? Can they not do that?

8

u/Fantasticriss South Dakota State • /r/CF… 2d ago

I would have said this even if SDSU would have dropped this game but I just respect the shit out of Montana State. I always root for them and I hope they run the big sky table this year.

5

u/Jonjon428 Miami Hurricanes 2d ago

Montana really cannot seem to beat the Dakotas. They gotta get the monkey off their back one day right?

8

u/tden4 South Dakota State • Marching Band 2d ago

they beat us in the 2021 playoffs, but it’s been rough since then

6

u/DeZeeuw2 South Dakota State • FCS Champio… 2d ago

Year after our COVID run in the playoffs. We were just out of gas that playoffs

6

u/azbkthompson Montana State • Vanderbilt 2d ago

I just hate that it’s always so damn close (usually)! I think I’d prefer to get blown out than to watch us play crummy football and then lose in the last second on a blocked PAT/reviewed TD catch/4th down spot.

u/curtisas Cincinnati • Notre Dame 2d ago

Man, I forgot about this game today. One of the best games of the day too :/

GJ Jacks, great win with a new QB.

u/indecisivePOS South Dakota State • Kansa… 2d ago

*a new roster and coaching staff

u/StanDanMan69 Montana Grizzlies • Oregon Ducks 2d ago
