Serious question: What do you think MSU's record would be if Prukop missed at least 4 games?

We'll be fine. After not losing a conference game in 2 years, it was bound to happen at some point, especially with VA out.

Is rehab going as planned for VA to return for the Montana game?

hey, a few weeks ago West was just as good as Adams, so it stands to reason that Bleskin is as good or better than Prukop
And if I remember right EWU wasn't whining about injuries when they beat us with an injured McGhee last year.

Yeah but you didn't lose by 1 pt, you got scored on 9 straight possessions.
Besides, we have a habit of making back ups look good.

Whoever said West was as good as Adams? Please show me a quote where anyone said that?
What does McGhee supposedly being injured last year have to do anything? Was he out there playing defense when we scored a TD on literally every possession except the last one when they took a knee (fact).
Anyway, I seem to recall EWU beating MSU THIS year. Do you think that game would have been close without Prukop?

Anyone's guess at this point. He was out of the boot on the sidelines at the NAU game but still appeared to be hobbling around some. I would guess he might suit up for UND but I doubt he'll play. I think there's a chance he could play against Montana, but I'm not holding my breathe on that one.

Doubt we'll be hearing much from IQ 25.06 from here on out.

Idaho State's going to give them a hell of a game I think.

Most cat fans seem alright. But I did a facepalm as soon 2506 posted that last week. Anyone could see what was coming...
I kind of hope the cats lose out. Such a waste of a perfectly good playoff bid.
