Cats hope this happens, they will claim it as another NC and hang another banner

Just like the kittens... They still claim a 0-0 tie as a championship....

The Montana State Bobcats football program competes in the Big Sky Conference of the NCAA's Division I Football Championship Subdivision for Montana State University. The program began in 1897 and has won three national championships (1956, 1976, and 1984). It is the only college football program in the nation to win national championships on three different levels of competition, NAIA, NCAA Division II, and NCAA Division I-AA (now FCS). Wikipedia. The Montana State Bobcats own the distinction of being the only college football program in the country to have won national championships at three different levels of competition: NAIA (1956), NCAA Division II (1976) and NCAA Division I-AA (1984). 406mtsports.com The Montana State Bobcats own the distinction of being the only college football program in the country to have won national championships at three different levels of competition: NAIA (1956), NCAA Division II (1976) and NCAA Division I-AA (1984). The Missoulian. But you know, you're rose tinted opinion is worth more than factual evidence, right? :thumb: No Cat or Bison fan wants to see a default - hell, no one in the nation does outside of a few ignorant griz fans.....

Zero national championships since 1984. A long time.

College Football started using overtimes in games in 1996.

There have been 4 ties in NAIA Championship games...

1956: The 1st ever NAIA championship game was 0-0 tie between Montana State and Concordia

1964: 7-7 tie between Concordia and Sam Houston State

1984: 19-19 tie between Carson Newman and Central Arkansas

1985: 10-10 tie between Hillsdale and Central Arkansas

Then how did they crown the champ? Surely it was a REAL championship and not a "popularity contest". ;)

Not sure why people here get so butt hurt about a co-championship. Have we never hung a banner for a Co-BSC championship?

I'm not sure why people here get so butt hurt about message board banter between friendly fans.
Look, I think most people are impressed by MSU's run this year. Maybe don't take this so seriously.

With a trophy, maybe even 2 of them. I am not in the trophy making business, but I wish I was back in the "Tie Game" era. I have heard tales of the amount of tail that those trophy making barons use to pull back in the 50's.

They pulled literally double the tail that they pull now. Big Trophy controlled the NAIA back then until being broken up into 12 separate entities. One of those went on to become Apple.

Big Trophy and the Fat Cat Trophy Barons were also to blame for the "Shelby Folly" that almost bankrupt one of the most scenic towns in all of Montana...

Indeed. NDSU, on their website lists the last 9 or what the frick ever fcs titles along with their titles in subdivisions. UM would too had they won one there. Time to stock up for the game - Go Cats!
 
If they can't go.... send the Griz, it will be a much better game.

The Butte kid is going to have a bad day, its all in the percentages

That's right if you find something on Wikipedia that is not true you show a source and change it. It's called peer review. It's how all good research media should be.
