Want To Watch The Bobcats This Week? We Have Great News

This game could be pivotal for the future of the Bobcats.

FCS Playoffs

Things are getting interesting.

The 2024 FCS Playoffs are in full swing, and we have reached the quarterfinals.

Montana State dominated in the second round of the playoffs with a 49-17 win over UT Martin.

One issue many folks had with the game was they couldn't watch it.

The entire second round was on ESPN's streaming service, ESPN+.

Many Montanans who didn't want to pay for another streaming service were upset.

Why can't they show the games on local channels?

The FCS Playoffs have a contract with ESPN, and because the TV broadcasts previously scheduled FBS conference championship games and college basketball games, the FCS games were delegated to ESPN+.

That will change this week.

Montana State On Primetime TV

#1 Montana State will face off in the quarterfinals against #8 University of Idaho this Friday, December 13th, at Bobcat Stadium.

This game will be the first quarterfinal game in the national spotlight.

The Bobcats will face the Vandals on ESPN at 7 PM.

The game will also be on ESPN+ if you don't have cable and don't want to go to a bar.

This game could have massive implications for the Bobcats.

Montana State on ESPN

Could this be a new beginning for Montana State?

Montana State played the Vandals earlier this season in a night game on ESPN2.

The Bobcats won handily, but playoff football provides an exciting atmosphere where anything can happen.

Having a game on national TV is crucial for the Bobcats.

Potential recruits and transfers can see what Bobcat football is about and the fans' passion for the team.

Who wouldn't want to play in front of a sold-out stadium every home game?

If the Bobcats win on Friday, they will have another home playoff game for the semi-finals, but let's win this game first.
