Hell of a season MSU. Choate said he cared about how they were playing in November and December and he delivered what he said, because right now, it's pretty tough to argue that the Cats are playing as good as anyone in the country, minus JMU at this point. I have nothing but respect for that team and what they're doing right now. Just flat out mauling people. It's damn impressive to watch.
Sadly, after seeing multiple snaps of the ESGS from the game last night, a night in which the Cats just made their first semifinal in 35 years, it sours my respect for what they're doing just a little. I just don't get how on a night when the program does something that special, it's still somehow about the Griz. It makes NO SENSE to me whatsoever. And before anyone jumps in and says Griz fans do the same, NO THEY DON'T. The fan base does not have a chant like that, and if you cnount FTC as a chant fine, but I can tell you I have been at every single quarterfinal and semifinal playoff game in Washington-Grizzly Stadium since 1994, and there has never been a Bobcat chant going during those playoff games. Like I said, it just doesn't make sense.
But, that's the fans, not the team. It is what it is. What the MSU FOOTBALL team is doing on the field is damn impressive. And it isn't just homefield either, just like it wasn't JUST homefield for the Griz during their great run. The Cats would have kicked Sac. State's ass in Cali last night too.
