No. 3 Montana at No. 2 Montana State FCS semifinals - Skyline Sports

Do you know the last time Loud went against Wortham and Davis and Bohanon on a regular basis? August. They don't go starters vs starters during the regular season very ofen. Loud has been going against the scout team, but that's only when he's been practicing. And he didn't practice for half or more of the season.

To suggest Loud hasn't played against a WR unit like the cats is less than honest.

He played against Griffin Wilde et al and the best QB in FCS just last year...

KL will dominate every cat receiver he lines up against tomorrow.

To have an hour long podcast, you have to be a contrarian or play devil's advocate with your co-host or with yourself. You have to play both sides. And it's easy to play both sides with these teams because they are the two best teams in the country.

I have 19 years of experience, 7,900 written articles on Skyline alone, record 25-40 hours a week on both teams and the rest of the Big Sky Conference....every piece of content has a different tenor. It wouldn't work and wouldn't be successful or popular if I was just the same with the same takes on every single show all the time. I am the host. I cater to my analysts. That's the model.

It's why it's funny when certain posters say we've "hitched our wagon to Schmidt".... I do 45 minutes a week during football season only with Andrew. He's great, his satire is great, he's sharp. But it's less than 10 percent of the content we do during the football season and it's less than 5 percent during a given calendar year.

The fact that that @RobGriz thinks this episode is so incredibly bias....but that Bobcat Nation thinks that we have all but called the game as a 50-point Griz win basically tells me all I need to know about if we are cutting it down the middle.

And like I always say, please consume ALL the content we produce between ESPN MT and Skyline Sports. And if you do, and you still think there's a lean one way or the other, I don't know what to tell you. I work 75 hours a week to make sure that the formula is balanced. If we don't perfectly hit the mark every week, well, I'm a human. But there's no question that I do my best and work my hardest to make sure we have the best semblance of balance that we can.

Last point here is that this is all entertainment for fun. My crew has great football acumen. And we speak our minds. But we are not trying to argue to sway the court of public opinion. We want to entertain and inform you. So to vilify us or make it personal when we are truly just trying to create discourse and community seems pretty silly. BUT if you choose to, it simply gives me another opportunity to market our business. SO for that, I thank you wholeheartedly.

Appreciate EVERYONE for listening and engaging!

I hate to say this Colter, but by responding to anonymous posters and justifying the work you do - you are in some way validating their take. I happen to believe you are very unbiased and an excellent journalist. Don’t respond to the unfair criticism of rabid fans. You can’t win. Keep doing excellent work and that alone should be the goal. I think you are accomplishing it and critics be damned.

I would suggest those anonymous posters are quite likely the ones putting food on Colter's table. If they have constructive criticism, I would think it may be wise for Colter to listen.

And my view is that your vast experience is causing you to go backwards on some things. Having spent time with some of the people on the podcast over the years and this year, and looking at some Schmidt stuff this year, I believe you guys, or some of you, influence and validate each other and start saying some of the same party lines. You've got a business to run, so you have to do what you have to do. But that's my observation from where I sit.

I thought he was playing on the scout team when he was recovering in the later weeks of his injury. I don't know for sure. Hasn't the whole team been practicing mostly in sweats for well over a month? Do you think that means that no one is "practicing" again anyone? Practicing in sweats doesn't mean going slow. It often means going very fast. Covering one on one and in zone at fill speed and in sweats is terrific for coverage practice. Practicing in sweats obviously reduces or eliminates tackling and much of the physical part of the practice and the game.

He is NOT a journalist. He has told us this - his exact words.
