Never been to Nacogdoches and thought I'd make for this game. But after the last three embarssing losses, I'm not about to waste the drive to watch the Bobcats lose by 50. I'm sure Moses will have a field day. I don't think we'll win another game this season, starting with this Saturdays one.

[txst80]

Same here. A month ago I planned on going to this game, I decided to stay in San Marcos and check out our basketball team tomorrow instead.

[AxeEmJacks]

I'll be at the game, bonfire is happening in about an hour and a half. Here's to a happy homecoming. Axe 'em Jacks.

[SFA 71]

First HC I have missed in 10 years but I don't get home from NYC until Sun.. There will always be next year... I hope.

Probably not if we are in the WAC

Have fun with that.

The crappy part about all this, is that we have actually had a chance to be in this game. At the half the offense has been productive until they get within 5, and the D has been doing really well too.
However, it doesn't help when we:
1.) Fumble the opening drive which gives SFA a short field(although even 99.4 yards isn't short enough). But D holds...sort of...
2.) Pass interference on a 4th and 16, so instead of the Bobcats getting the ball, Moses stays on the field.
3.) Miss a 24 freakin yd. FG!
4.) D manages to hold SFA to only 38 yards before punting team comes out and special teams runs into their punter. D forced to come back on and SFA goes an additional 61 yards to complete a 99 yard drive and take a 21-0 lead.

D has actually stopped the SFA offense 5 of their 6 drives, but had 2 of those drives extended because of stupid mistakes. Only allowing this high octane offense one complete drive is pretty damn amazing by the D!!! Now if the offense can figure it out, and the individual errors can be cut back, maybe we get back into this.

[El Gato]

Wow...Cats go into the 4th down 24-0 and with 6:21 left to play it's 24-21 SFA. Cats have scored 21, including a 73 yd. punt return in the 4th to give us a fighting chance.!!!

[El Gato]

and cats recover a fumble and driving down the field.
1st and 10 Cats form the SFA 38 with 1:10 to play.

[El Gato]

holy ****!!!!! BOBCAT TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cats lead 27-24 under a min to play. miss the extra point.

[El Gato]

1:01 to play SFA ball in at the SFA 17 after a Lumberjack penalty.

[El Gato]

:31 to play SFA on their own 48. Thier kicker already has a 48 yarder today.

[El Gato]

3rd and 5 :15 to play from the Cat 39...and Moses sacked loss for 2...
4th down and 7. :8 left to play/

[El Gato]

****....2 seconds to play SFA completes the pass to the Cat 37. 47 yard attempt up to tie the game.

[El Gato]

Holding SFA...kick is up....and NO GOOD, penalty declined! Bobcats win 27-24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. I was kind of following the score and the last time I looked while the game was still going on it was 21-0 SFA in the third quarter and I figured it was over. Then I just decided to check a few minutes ago.

You just never know.

It was 24-0 starting the 4th Q. 27 unanswered points and the 'Cats come out with the win. Crazy quarter of football that was.

I suspect this game tape is going to be heavily requested for the next several weeks.

I suspect this game tape is going to be heavily requested for the next several weeks.

Don't mistake the outcome with things. Moses still had his usual 300+ yard day having thrown over 50 times. Of course that yardage might be below average for him throwing so much. TxSt gave up about 50ish yards in the last minute (through the air mind you) while playing prevent to keep SFA out of a comfortable field goal position. What changed the game for us were SFA's late turnovers and botched coverage on a punt return that went for a TD.

Given that, it didn't sound like an outstanding day for Moses whatsoever, more of a decent qb performance. I'm glad our backup (who at one point was considered a possible starter for the season before Arndt) got near 200 in the air and another 120 on the ground. Made a big difference in our offense that second half.

[El Gato]

I said it on bobcatfans and I'll say it here. Moses is damn good, but I don't think that he is Peyton award winner good. Saw him on TV last week against SHSU and wasn't that impressed. And then after this game, I'm thinking the same thing again. He is good, really good don't get me wrong, but when I think of the Peyton award, I think of someone really special, and that he is not.

Wonder how much the SHSU game plan last week helped TXST... the Bearkats out-coached SFA, just had two or so plays go the other way, that gave the game to the Lumberjacks.

Congrats TXST - you may have just allowed another SLC team into the playoffs! Way to play the part of spoiler...

Well, SFA still controls its own destiny. But it does make things more interesting.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

Wow, the biggest comeback and biggest choke of the FCS season all in one game. Between this and W&M's loss to UNC, UD just got two steps closer to being back into a position for a seeded playoff position.

[Cat79]

When you talk crap this is what happens!!!!!!!

[slostang]

Congrats on the big win TXST.

[SFA 71]

I don't know what you are talking about. Only AxEmJacks & I posted anything on this thread & neither of us said anything but that we were going to the game. You see crap on this thread it must be one of your school mates.

Clearly he is referring to something else as it is pretty obvious there was no crap talking on this particular thread.

Were you at the game? One of our fans had to throw a shoe at one of your out of line drunk fans talking crap. Your fans were talking crap the whole time. Pleesssssssssssssssse

[TxState_GO_CATS!]

Why we gotta throw shoes? That's lame and retarded. LOL

[SFA 71]

Were you at the game?

Uhhhhh, if you had taken the time to read my ONLY post you would have known that I wasn't going to be at the game as I was in NY. The last time I went to a game at SWT it wasn't the students that were rude to me, it was one of the SWT alumni. Kids being rude to each other can almost be expected but the old fart that yelled at me was no kid. Don't paint with such a broad brush unless your birthday is celebrated every Christmas.xnodx

[AxeEmJacks]

I was at the game... First time I've looked at the forums since. Depressing, depressing loss. Especially how it happened. And I remember no shenanigans at the game, there were like 20 Bobcat fans, maybe less. So can we chalk this up to turnovers like UNI?

That is hilarious, 20 TXST fans...........not sure where you were sitting......in the bathroom ?

There were at least 500 next to me on the TXST side, and they were louder than the about 6000 total in attendance for SFA.

About half of the TXST side was empty, poor showing for a #3 team at homecoming.

But the fans were polite, to me at least, and I did not see any issues.

I honestly thought there were that many. It was very quiet over there and I didn't see many on my way in or out. I also admit that we didn't have many people at the game, my theory is that half of them wanted to stay in bed after Friday night. I know I did.
