Vacant: No Bobcat is currently assigned #71.
Spotlight – Jerry Jimison: It's hard to imagine exactly whether Jim Sweeney, when he said in Montana State's 1967 media guide that Jerry Jimision "plays more football with less apparent ability than anybody," meant it as a complement or a slight. It's easy to imagine how Jimison took it – likely with his trademark laugh, and some good humor. A three-year starter for the Cats, helping MSU win Big Sky titles in 1966 and '67, Jimison was an All-Big Sky defensive guard in 1967 as a senior. He was one of two key players on those fantastic Bobcat teams from Glendive, and would eventually return to his hometown and serve as its mayor for about as long as anyone can remember.
