Immaturity? Dude wtf, Tommy poured his fucking soul into this shit. Can the guy not be frustrated and disappointed when he did everything he possibly could. Come on man.

Twenty yards? You just proved you didn’t watch it. You saw the meme and decided to whine about it.
The meme IS the video.
Whatever. You're so blinded by the insanely weird "butte guys can do now wrong" thing that I'm out on this convo.
Have a nice evening.

Close, 6
I wasn't referring to IQ.
I’m from Missoula. I’m more concerned about people passing judgement when if a Griz player did it they would think it was funny.
Bunch of hypocrites. Btw, I thought it was funny as many did.
I matriculated in 1977.
Griz 388-172 .693
Cats 287-251 .533
101 more wins, LOL!
30-17 in Cat-Griz .638
2 NCs, 6 2nds. A couple semi-final losses I think, hard to remember them all after 28 playoff appearances.
I’m good too.

The only asshole is you. And of course Trashcan Tommy for his dick move that will live infamously like Pearl Harbor
Not really dickhead. That fact that you made a big deal out of something so trivial is pathetic. Equally pathetic is if a Griz player did it you’d be laughing your head off. You probably should grow up and grow a pair.
I could see the move maybe being disrespectful to NDSU fans, but to Griz fans who whine about bad Cat fans. Makes you look far worse
It’s fuck ups like you that give Griz fans such a bad rap. Oh never mind, no way in hell you’re a Griz fan. Just a pathetic coward.

The thing is you never see this behavior from the Griz or Bison because they do not have clowns on their teams like MSU.

So trivial and harmless. It’s sort of a punk rock thing to do and, in that vein, I approve.
I agree. I loved it. It is like when your button downed rule following buddy cuts loose a little. The kid has had a microscope on him in this state for four years. And he isn't like a lot of 18-23 year olds that seek the attention. He just has been a really good athlete and a good kid.
What is a sore looser? Anything similar to a sore loser?

The thing I liked most about it is how good of a kid he is. Just a good kid. As another pointed out, the person who had to pick it up got paid, so really, T-Can was helping out of the goodness of his kid heart. Wise beyond his years, he realizes that everyone wants to do more of his or her job for the same pay. Also, the clip cuts out right before showing him build two homes for Habitat for Humanity in honor of the late President Carter before taking the next snap. You know who doesn’t do that? Bad kids, that’s who. But he’s a good kid. Name me a gooder kid.

There’s a difference between irony and sarcasm.

Idiot, if a Griz player did the same unsportsmanlike like thing I wouldn't think its funny. It's called class and you don't have any. I bet you support riots and criminals too. You are out of line and stupid. This was disgusting behavior and you are crying like the little bitch you are supporting it. Wow, what a model adult you must be

Google "Trash Can" and see what comes up. That' right, the boy from Butte. Outkick's got it teed up.
KGVO reports the temper tantrum this way:
"Right before halftime, in a moment that’s now gone viral, Mellott ran out of bounds on the Bison sideline and, without hesitation, tipped over one of their trash cans. Yes, you read that right.
Now, was this a psychological move to throw off the other team? Or maybe it was just a heat-of-the-moment stunt fueled by the adrenaline of a championship game. Either way, the act earned him a new nickname among football fans around the nation: “Tommy Trash Can.” Some are laughing it off as a prank, while others are shaking their fists in the air, calling it unsportsmanlike."
I was watching the game in a bar of 3 griz fans and 60 Cat fans. The place erupted in applause when Tommy pulled that stunt. High fives all around. His team was getting its ass kicked but this showed "he was still the man." Some Cats who missed it were groaning when the replay cut off the trash can flip.
Lots a praise this kids way through the years but in seeing that moment, the words poise under pressure, maturity, leadership and champion, for me don't come to mind. Lot's of opinions here from "spoiled brat dick move" to "great rallying point for the troops", but calling those who see a negative in Tommy's behavior "dick heads" and "fuck ups" for having those views shows pure emotion over reason.
From my perch high above, it was just a slight mar on an otherwise great game by TTC, not worthy of the defensiveness on display.
One thing I will say is I've had the job of trash collection at 40 years of charity events, family wedding receptions, football tailgates and such and never once appreciated the jackasses who tipped over trash cans. Of course, if Tommy came over and picked up the garbage all would be forgiven.

He has zero chance, and never had, to be a NFL QB.
I would argue that Trash Can Tommy ranks right up there with UNC's clipboard fiasco a few years back against MSU lol.
