Losing in his backyard

If you read some of Bobby’s interviews from before he left for UNLV, you might get the impression that Bobby thought he was the pope and could kick around reporters. The student newspaper was locked out from reporting on the team.
And at UNLV the student reporter or reporters loved him. I watched some of the Bobby 1.0 interviews, including ones by Fritz in particular.

And he has been a lot better with UM reporters since he came back to be fair. I don’t know about UNLV, don’t follow them at all so I will just take your word on that.
 
Nothing will change, my dads friends have been complaining about OL and DL for over 20 years of Bobby ball. They have hated it for decades and when you are honest with yourself they are right. I like Coach as a person but he doesn't have what it takes to get a team over the hump. Didn't happen when I was there and I don't see it in the future.
If your dad's friends were complaining about the OL in 2008 and 2009, they are clueless about football and OL play. Those OL's were terrific. All-americans. Multiple all-conference players. Several who went to the NFL. Several more with tryouts.
 
“Gaining the upper hand on Montana recruits continues to be a sound formula for this series, as does running the ball and stopping the run. The Griz haven’t outrushed MSU once during Bobby 2.0, though they won a couple times (thanks, Junior Bergen).”

Zero rings, you got nothing
 
Wins, deep playoff runs, all/americans. The Griz have had alot. As for rings, where are the cat rings?
The Cats have had more than the Griz in all 3 of those since Vigen arrived, plus wins in the Cat Griz game and in recruiting in Montana.

Zero rings since 1984. Griz have a couple Cat game wins in recent years. Griz probably have more all Americans too.
 
The Cats haven't won a title since 1984. The Griz still own them.
Now that's a spicy hot take, even for you. It's been 20 years since the Griz "owned" the Cats. You're right they've got more recent titles but it's not like they're stacking them. Been 25 years. And the Cats are 8-2 in the last 10, hauck has a losing record vs them, and the Cats have won more in Missoula since the streak ended than vice versa. Your definition of "own" is... something. Especially when the Cats just stomped the life out of them on the way to hanging a banner. But you're right, that UND win in September is the thing that's more relevant.

It’s only been 10 years since the Griz owned the Cats but that doesn’t make a substantial difference in your point.
 
Getting absolutely whipped recruiting in state is the saddest part….and does not bode well for the future.

No titles for Cats. Can’t beat the Dakota and MV schools. Cats employ dirty plays to beat Griz.
