I have been unable to attend a game in person as of yet, even though I have listened to the Weber games on radio, it is tough to visualize the size and athletic ability of our players. Your different opinions will be appreciated, as I'll be attending a game or two soon and I want to know what to expect. :thumb: http://www.bigskyfans.com/wildcats/posting.php?mode=post&f=3#

Expect to be surprised. The dropoff in talent level is miniscule when comparing the Big Sky to the WAC or MWC. In fact the top teams in the Big Sky are probably better than the a lot of those teams. Depth is the major factor in those games due to less scholarships to go around.
