SFA (Vidlak) vs McNeese St (McDowell)

I saw bad plays by both QBs

Vidlak running out of bounds at the end of the first half to allow Clifton to throw a hail mary for 7 points lost them the game.

McDowell's high-stepping, excessive celebrations and poor sportsmanship cost his team during critical moments that could have easily lost the game.

I'm much happier with our QB situation.

I wish SFA would have won this game just based on McDowell's antics.

Cockiness! I pointed this out early in his Griz debut. Character flaw, emphasized by his ejection. Grad student in name only.

Just look at the list, A LIST of places he has been(played for or strung along with his 'commitments'). He has almost run out of room on his suitcase for more travel stickers. McNeese State is the end of the line, as he is out of playing eligibility after this year. Cancer might be a strong term. He has contributed to the teams he has played for, most notably Montana. 'Mercenary' would be a more apt description.

My impression of him was always that he was a leader that other guys on the offense rallied around. I'll always be incredibly thankful for his role in our run last year. He plays with a lot of emotion, and that can be a thin line to walk for any athlete, but my impression of having him up here was that he was a good guy in the locker room. I know our younger QBs looked to him. If it tells you anything about the presence he is in the locker room, our coaches are famously quick to show you the door if you step into the portal. For Big Clif, they were willing to have him back. That told me a lot about the kind of kid he must be behind closed doors and off the field.

Just a question but what makes you think they (coaches) wanted him back. I was under the impression it was thanks for the service and good luck...

Yeah I thought it was the opposite: he wanted to come back but the coaches were like, “bye, Felicia”.

May be an issue of we have heard different things. I had heard a different tale (well, a couple of different tales), but neither of them had the coaches giving that reaction. Who knows, maybe I am just wrong.

I find your version very hard to believe. Seems like it would essentially require BH to track the kid down after leaving and beg him to come back. In what world do you believe that would ever occur? Remember the Stitt QB and the Tx State transfer issue. Why would BH ever change his “bye Felicia” policy?
How else would anyone know the coaches were “willing to have him back” unless Clif was the one to reach out to see if he could return after the transfer. You think BH left him an open invite to return anytime at his whim? And if they were willing to have him back, and he was the one to reach out to see if he could come back, wouldn’t he have come back? Instead, he transferred again after leaving here. He went from Temple to McNeese.
 
What was that RB’s name that looked good in BH’s first year back or maybe Stitt’s last? I believe he was a Stitt recruit and played as a freshman but then transferred? I want to say “Crawford”? Not Eastwood, before him.
I recall specifically discussing this exact issue (once somebody transfers, the team moves on immediately) with BH at a fundraiser and let’s just say your version of Clif’s departure would be a monumental change

I find it hard to believe that they were willing to have him back, and I really don’t believe the story of players voting on the idea of it either.
 
I'm not trying to debate this with everyone. For evidence, I would point to Colter hinting about it on his radio show last spring, and also Clif himself went back and took his original "NATTY PENDING" post from when he first arrived in Missoula, added hourglasses, and retweeted it when he was thinking he might be headed back. Maybe the rumor mill around town was being misconstrued or maybe Colter was listening to wrong sources, or whatever. I have no idea. But there is way too much smoke for there not to be fire. In my opinion.

I'm trying to link his twitter post, where he retweeted the same thing he did when he came the first time. This is a super weird thing to post if he thought there was no chance he was coming back. He posted it in April of this year, while Colter was hinting that a former player might be coming back.
