Follow Outlaw Beat

Joe Borden and Flint Rasmussen kick off the Bobcat Big Show live from the Rocking R Bar on Main Street in Bozeman, previewing Montana State’s Gold Rush home opener against the Butler Bulldogs.

Head coach Brent Vigen on why his stars stayed, how he’d attack his own team, and a blunt message for fans who don’t come back after halftime. Three members of the 1976 national championship team, Tom Powell, John Close and Bert Markovich, on Sonny Holland, the Hawaii trip, the team meeting after Fresno State that changed their season, and the parallels to the 2025 champs. Rocking R owner Mike Hope on the extra point that ended 41 years and the sport coats he bought the team for Washington DC. General manager Will Hope on championship night behind the bar. Plus the debut of “Put the Hat on the Cat,” score predictions, and the Chug of Shame.

Bobcat Big Show is live at the Rocking R Bar every Thursday before a home game at 6pm. Back September 17 before Central Connecticut State.
