Jake Maier will start at quarterback on "THURSDAY" correct your error. :sweat_smile: :rofl: :joy:

I am truly a die-hard Tiger Cat fan - have been for over 73 years - but man, that game last night just about did me in. I have never seen one player cost a team so much - - fumbles, interceptions, badly thrown balls, or simply poor execution - you name it! OK - I could ignore and forgive if it was just a really bad night (we all have had at least one in our life time) - but this is not the first of such nights for Dane Evans. What has happened to him - a loss of confidence? is he playing hurt? or has he lost what he never really had? I don't know! But it is time for the Cats to do whatever is needed to secure a playoff spot - now get your arses in gear and do it for the fans! No excuses - you can do it!
