This is adult-onset fetal alcohol syndrome at it's finest.
You’re missing the point. It’s not worth arguing. Our opinions apparently differ, and that’s fine. This will be my last response.
There wasn't a point to miss.
Yes. Mostly Dakota schools.
You are full of shit. I ain’t fickle about anything and UM is competitive in FCS nearly every year. UM isn’t moving up, the economic reality will not justify it. And for every JMU or Boise State that play well but have no chance to compete for a FBS championship, there are ten Idahos that move up and get slaughtered. I am thankful for what UM has built.
How am I full of shit? I didn’t say that the Griz weren’t competitive every year. I said that by your logic the Griz have not been competing for championships for 15 years, which is the logical equivalent of your assertion that JMU would not be competing for a championship were it to make the CFP. So please, enlighten me. How am I full of shit?
Except they're not. Ask 100 random people who won last year's college football national championship. If even one of them answers "ndsu" I'll pay you $10,000.
That would cover my expenses to Fargo with change leftover.
Serious question: Do you support all of UM's athletic programs falling down to DII so they can compete for a "national" title? Basketball, do you want them in the NCAA tournament, or playing for a DII "national" championship? How about soccer? Playing UW tough in an NCAA match, or facing Eastern Oregon in a DII playoff match? Lady GRIZ: NCAA dancing, or playing Central Connecticut in round one of the DII playoffs?
I called you fickle because you said you’d give up your season tickets if the Griz moved up. Many teams have moved up recently and had success. Even lowly Missouri state moved up and had success. The defeatist attitude you have on the prospect of a move up is unwarranted. We have a team right now in its current iteration that would be upper half of the MWC, which are the peers I’d like to see our team competing with. I’m not attacking you when I say you’re being fickle, it’s an honest observation of your attitude toward the football team and athletic department should it aspire to take the next step in its evolution.
By your thinking, Central Connecticut State was competing for the FCS championship. But they weren’t. Making the playoffs doesn’t make you competitive. Ditto for Harvard.How am I full of shit?

And yes, you are certainly fickle if you’d immediately give up your season tickets because the team moved up. But I’d encourage you to do so, since someone less fickle would snatch them up
Like I said, you are full of shit. I never said I would quit cheering for UM or quit attending UM games. I just won’t buy season tickets. Where I come from, calling someone fickle is an insult.
So if neither of those schools was competing for a National Championship, does that mean that UM hasn't really been doing so either over the past 15 years except for a couple seasons?
I'll take them.
Sounds like a fickle move.
I apologize for responding to your first post. If you want to get in silly fights, take on Hoops or Glacier. I am an alum and support the university financially. Sports are only a part of what UM is about. And nowhere close to the most important part. If I don’t pay for season tickets, I will contribute more to Excellence Fund.
And you are are hard of hearing.
I dislike your "I'll take my ball home" attitude.
