Let the silliness begin.

As somebody who was a big Thomas Gordon fan a few years ago… he has not worked out

Jack Olson out. We are China Dolls this year.

That’s the first time I recall seeing Timmy Mac onscreen. Excellent fist pump and angry happy face and tush slap. 🍑 👋

Preeeeeeetty sick of procedural penalties

Well, given right back

 

[NUCat320]

Cam Porter: Not a decoy! Yahooo!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Listen, nice explosive play but… stay on your feet, wtf.

 

[NUCat320]

Please get the first down.

 

[AdamOnFirst]

*Sobs, sniffs, sheds tear*

That’s my quarterback

That looked like disaster, and Cam and Jack made it happen.

This game is the Cats for the taking!

 

[Figrating]

A couple of brain dead off sides, but LOOK AT THAT!!!!!!!

 

[Jaguar 88]

Lausch is the man!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SmellyCat]

Wildcats football with the lead and The Wire. Perfect confluence for me.

 

[2388bb]

Lausch is the man!!!!!!!!!!

Needs to complete a pass. Any pass!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

Anto Saka is a seriously good pass rusher

 

[NUCat320]

Sure seems like that 3rd down should’ve been grounding. Still, stops are good!

Needs to complete a pass. Any pass!

Like the 40+ yard completion that comprised the bulk of the drive?

 

[freewillie07]

Listen, nice explosive play but… stay on your feet, wtf.

I was wondering about that too. Felt like he wasn’t sure how quickly a defender would catch up to the lob pass but he definitely had room.

Anto out there getting robbed of his sacks

 

[DaCat]

Defense is stout, glad to see Bastone back, and Saka destroying people.

 

[GECat2]

Saka To Me!!!!!

 

[SmellyCat]

Anto out there getting robbed of his sacks

True. He had a lot to do with Kilbane’s sack too.

 

[Jaguar 88]

Damn, we have a QB fellas!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish our Wrs weren't Srs!!!!

Covey isn’t.

 

[phatcat]

Lausch is a tank

 

[NUCat320]

Very promising first quarter! outgaining the turtles 114-30. One sack and lots of pressure.

NU hasn’t put the ball in danger (except on the kick return).

Clean up the stupid penalties.

NU is better.

 

[DaCat]

Another slow start for Lausch on the first series but he’s settled down and now doing well.

 

[Jaguar 88]

Covey isn’t.

I am talking about our studs.

 

[Jaguar 88]

We have a nice one two punch at RB tonight. Hopefully the O line will settle down with the offsides. It seems that they have already though.

 

[SmellyCat]

Nice broken tackle for CK. Don’t usually see that from him. Liked the red zone play calling tonight. LOVE the play calling to get into the red zone even more.

 

[NUCat320]

This is fun!

 

[AdamOnFirst]

JACKY DIMES

 

[NUCat320]

THIS COULD GET REALLY FUN!!!

 

[Figrating]

3 plays that lose a yard, Coach Lujan???

 

[loyolacat]

Grissam Anderson sighting ..on the kickoff

 

[NUCat320]

3 plays that lose a yard, Coach Lujan???

What an idiot! His offense is only quintupling the other guy’s!

 

[mesacat]

Ok that's the 17 I predicted for the Cats

 

[freewillie07]

Obviously would have been great to punch them in the mouth after the TO, but coming out of those three bad offensive plays with a FG and a three-score lead is not bad.
