Happy 10th Birthday BobcatAttackers!


BobcatAttack.com was born on April 12, back in 2001.

Proud parents Ted Thompson and Mike Coleman introduced the often fussy infant to the Bobcat world a few days later.

First Version of BobcatAttack.comThe child wasn't initially welcomed by all. A strongly worded letter about displaying the child in official Attack Cat gear was sent to the newborn's parents. The letter was replied to with an apology and the child's clothing was changed to display a more generic Lynx rufus, as shown to the right.

As the child got older, it grew into, and never really out of, its terrible two's, as we are still seeing a good amount of ranting and stomping filled temper-tantrums. Which is fine, as long as it's within the Posting Policy.

Thanks to all who contribute to keeping the site running and interactive:

- Ted Thompson for keeping us up to date on recruiting news and all the other content he posts to the site, especially the time it takes to compile the MAC News Links.

- Mike Coleman for his early work on setting up the original message board when the University shut down the old T-Comm board, and his continual moderation he does today.

- Jeff McKinney who keeps us all in line on the message board. It's not easy reading all the messages and editing/removing when something doesn't pass the posting policy.

- Rollie Merriman for getting us video and photos through the years.

- Lonnie McMillan who as been doing a great job providing game previews and recaps over the past year.

- Gman who has been very generous by welcoming all posters to his tailgates over the years. The food and hospitality he provides is excellent and he gives our little online community a place to gather on game days.

- All the other people who I am probably forgetting who help us out, such as Ben Shoemaker who helps with the News Links when Ted is on vacation, or Luke Jernigan who helped Ted and I get things setup on the site so we could actually make enough money we didn't have to pay for all the hosting and other expenses out of our own pockets.

- All the other registered users and lurkers who help make the site a fun diversion from the daily grind and a great source of information for Bobcat fans around the world.

Thank You All! Go Bobcats!
