What total BS! McDowell is a phoney, self-serving, manipulator who used Montana, and a lot of other schools, in his single-minded pursuit of the unattainable(for him). He bailed out of Montana when it suited him, sh*tting on his former teammates(all of whom showing their true character and returned to finish the 'unfinished business'). He showed his true colors two months ago. Here's a link to an article written yesterday which says in many words what I just condensed for brevity(I'll call it 'Clifton's Notes':

'...show some contrition...humbly ask for forgiveness...the team should welcome him back.'
Is this the standard UM has adopted? Hmm, let me refresh your memories. Seems I remember a HS recruit, about a year and a half ago, a real Missoula 'kid,' 18 years old, who dreamed of becoming a Griz football player ever since he could remember. He wrote some typically boneheaded adolescent crap on some social media site, was outed by a disgruntled former Griz player, resulting in feigned, entitled indignance by a
segment of the team, causing his scholarship offer to be revoked. He was told to 'show some contrition and humbly ask for forgiveness, and let the 'team' welcome him back.' The 'team' sh*t on him, sending this 18 year old to MSdUi. He's a scat footballer now. The stark double standard gall of this post is undeniable, and obvious as black and white, pun intended.
