Good article.
The griz immediately got better on the O-Line.

I think we need to quit whining about the transfer portal and maybe celebrate it instead.
How Do The Transfers Gel?
For how much FCS fans complain about the transfer portal, it isn’t all negative. Some FCS programs have actually benefited from the portal. Two of those teams were recently in Frisco.
Montana has lost one transfer to the FBS this offseason, and it has brought in six FBS transfers and three FCS transfers. Last offseason, the Griz lost zero transfers to the FBS. They landed 10 FBS transfers, including impact guys like Riley Wilson (LB), Grant Glasgow (K), and Hayden Harris (DL). In 2022, they lost two transfers to the FBS. They brought in eight FBS transfers, led by impact players like Lucas Johnson (QB), Sawyer Racanelli (WR), Chris Walker (OL), and Nico Ramos (K).
The Griz have leveraged the portal positively. They’ve been able to keep a majority of its star players. And they have found guys in the portal who have become key starters while maintaining a tight-knit locker room. Montana looks to do the same in 2024, replenishing its roster with guys from Arizona, Cal, Fresno State, Kent State, San Diego State, Utah, Monmouth, Montana State, and Youngstown State.

"The loss of McDowell is tough"- nope its one of the best things that happened so far in the off season
"Montana’s o-line was very good down the stretch." they were good, very good is a stretch.
"McDowell was good, sometimes great, during the regular season. He was fine during the playoffs."
No he was not, he was one of the reasons we did not win the FCS championship
"A positive is the new QB will have great weapons to utilize. " correct and I would underline positive
" Can Montana Make It Back To Frisco?" YES

Appreciate it but I can’t take credit. That’s a direct quote from the article
.:lol: :lol: :lol: Well, no wonder! There are actual journalists still working in the world. Thought they were all dead, or working as Wal-Mart Greeters. I wouldn't have been surprised if you had written it, as you have shed the 'shucks' and 'y'all' Alabama sctick occasionally and have written quite well. :thumb:

Sometimes we do things we have not been proud of
.Meh. That's a real fan-ish assessemnt of the Griz. Too much focus on the QB position, not enough on the rest of team.
If the Griz O-line improves, the QB position will be fine, provided the starter knows when to throw the ball away and not get sacked.
This is year two of the Brent Pease offense. Everyone from the assistants to the players should be better for the experience.
