From The Couch – CATS WIN! Team And Fans Celebrate In Grand Fashion!

It was a, shall we say, interesting win against Iowa State yesterday? The Wildcats got behind 13-0 to start the game, but clawed their way back to send the game into overtime.

I still find it really odd, but after each victory the Weber supporters like to climb to the mountaintops…
