I'd rather try and strike gold with the Montana kids, its HARD and rare for a Trumaine to fall to us and not get scooped up by the bigger schools
Your "rather" is your privilege; I'd rather be competitive in DI football. What's HARD and rare is finding Montana kids that can play at that level. The idea that you can be competitive in DI football with mostly MT kids is naïve. Even the NAIA programs use a lot of out-of-state players. Just about every FCS program lives off the leavings of the FBS programs.The_Real_Chief said:BadlandsGrizFan said:We need to start finding Trumaine Johnsons' again to play for this program!

Grisly Fan said:Let's hope Tru remembers the school that helped him get to BIG MONEY (ala EWU and Michael Roos). Hopefully someday he'll peel a little off of the bank roll to help the Griz. Would really like to hear the sound of the "TJ stadium expansion" announced.
speth said:Amazing! Think about this: I am pretty sure that current or former NFL DBs Johnson, Anderson, Wilson, and Schillinger all played DB for the Griz during the same year. (At least one year). I assume one of the historians here may be able to verify.
