Woulda coulda... What would have happened if Hauck hadn't passed on Crews? I still think it was BS, but it happened and Crews went to MSU. Fate plays out like it's supposed to though.

Crews was passed on, he went to MSU. He has a chip on his shoulder and is going to do everything in his power to disrupt UM until he is done playing. Frankly I don't blame him. All he ever wanted was to play for the Griz and he got done wrong. I believe that then and I believe it now.

What happened in the meantime? We got other players, every bit as good as Crews. So did we lose out? Nope. Besides, we don't know how Crews might have developed if he had stayed at UM and in Missoula.

Crews did it to himself. He'd be a Griz now if not for being dumb on the internet. Hopefully he's learned from the experience and was able to be cool with all his current teammates and them with him.

Judging by his Twitter burner account fiasco, he certainly did not learn his lesson about how to act on social media.

This is where they teach the recruits their favorite fight song.

As well as vacuuming, doing dishes, and dusting.

True. I had forgotten about that...

There's so much that goes into recruiting. Honestly when my son was being recruited, there wasn't a lot of attention from either Montana school. Not because they didn't want him, he had teammates that went on to play at MSU.

The fact is, I was involved heavily with his recruitment. I told him it doesn't matter if recruiters are military or college football. They are going to tell you what you want to hear. They are going to show you all the love in the world, shower you with swag, then once you sign, move on to the next guy in line. They will tell the whole truth, half truths, lie, do whatever it takes. That's their job.

We concentrated on academic programs, and scholarship offers. He had no lofty notions of being a star and playing in the NFL. He wanted to go to Dental school and that's that. MSU, UM, WSU, CSU, BC, VA Tech, none of them had dental schools and that was his focus. Playing football was just a means to an end. Life is life, he was injured, never played a down in the regular season, came home to rehab, and joined the Army.

Sounds like a smart kid with a great Dad

Hauck didn't pass on Crews. The decision was at the woke Bodnar level. Have to laugh when he claims to be an independent.

The decision was at the team level: they (rightly in my mind) voted to boot he and his racism to the curb. They didn’t want him in their locker room.


Also? There’s a politics board for bullshit. Take it there.

Smart kid, not so sure about the great dad part. Maybe an okay Dad. I was present and involved when I needed to be. Seems to have worked out, but thanks.

Maybe all it took was one phone call.

That's hard

Or a drive across town.

But there was a nice hatch going on Rock Creek!
