Andrew Schimdt nails it. Maybe he should be the next head Griz coach.

I always thought Schmidt was a bit of a blowhard with his saucy takes, designed to generate clicks.

If olddipshitgrizzly agrees with him, that cements it. Schmidt IS a blowhard.

Told you, quite the guy. But watch out, AZ. Schmidt will also threaten to block you, and try to have others block you on his "platforms". (Ya know, Blue Sky, etc.) 😭😅

You know, @griz4life, it just goes to show that you can sacrifice everything in high school to get a chance, wake up for 5 am workouts, pour your heart and soul into a program, finally earn a scholarship, become special teams player of the year, willingly give up a full ride to Bobby’s face so that we could get more CBs because some transferred out, become national player of the week, become all conference, win multiple game balls, win the Big Sky 5 times, go 4-1 against the cats, play for the national title twice, become a financial contributor to the program you love, and after all that this is the shit they write about you online because you don’t agree to be a fluffer for a program that can be better. Or they go personal like Taber.

I would implore all of you to avoid or block Jack and Taber. They are the absolute worst type of fan in the world. When their precious online world is threatened they will turn on everyone and anyone, even those who contributed more than they can possibly imagine. Cast these two on an ice floe and all of our lives will be better off.

Alright bye again! Catch the episode next week!

We'll catch your next episode next week... on Blue Sky, correct? Is that your "platform" of choice? 😭😂

Comparing Montana to Ohio State? That's funny. The programs, the expectations, the pressures, the money, etc. are completely different.

Questionable D play-calling? Oh, please. Whoever said that doesn't have a clue. They don't know what the play-calling is and they certainly don't know D.

Jeez, Brint is more knowledgeable than most of those clowns, and he never played the game.

I don't know the voices, but one of the main talkers often doesn't know what he's talking about. He says he's a casual fan, and he's definitely right about that.

I've had enough. Schmidt was fine up to this point, except for the Ohio St/UM comparison.

Comparing Montana to NDSU is what's funny.

I am just going to be honest, man. I agree with your position on the team in general and think that the situation is a LOT better than many are making it.

But my god, you come off as a prick and overly politically tribal. Learn to make points with logic instead of such personally hateful attacks like you have made on Kyle and Schmidt. I have never even met either one of those guys, but the way you "debate" is just unnecessarily toxic. I cannot possibly imagine this is how you talk to people in real life that you disagree with.

And that is coming from someone in the Sugar Coaters Club.

Dude - get over it. He's married and you are gay. Time to let it go.

They are my friends. Levi texted me today. He had a few questions for me. I also donate to his nonprofit. He texted me when he came over for the hall of fame dinner and weekend and intro at halftime of former Griz Native American athletes. Quinn has been my good friend since he came to Missoula. Love that guy. He invited me to his wedding and I attended. Only 2 Griz fans were there. He invited me to his house in Frisco for a big BBQ 2 years ago before the champ game and asked me to invite some people. I invited a number including the Hill family, Trumaine and several other d-backs in that group, etc. Quinn takes my wife and me to dinner at the Depot every time he comes to Missoula. In the summers, all of those guys and more come to our lake place on occasion. Russum is a very good friend. When he lived in Scottsdale, I saw him more. He has had some real estate at Flathead that I have helped him with. We have done some favors for each other. When he was working in the Bakken in ND, he came to a branding at our ranch on the fort peck reservation. Some of my kids including my 35 year old daughter know some of these guys too. I helped some of these guys too especially the OL. When you are good to people and help them with advice or whatever, you become friends. Pony knows some of these guys too especially the OL. He officiated Quinn’s wedding Big Sky. Don’t you keep in touch with friends? Don’t you have friends of various ages? One of my best friends is a 91 year old Dartmouth ‘56 who comes over from Seattle several times a year. We communicate all the time and he has me on most of his many ‘56 communications. He played lacrosse against Jimmy Brown. I am good friends with Snyder, Varona and Horgan too. Went to along their weddings. I know and like his parents too. I am friends with Colt, Mariani and Chase. Went to Colt’s wedding. A number of these guys worked for me in college. I know alot of people and am good to them, and they are good to me. There you are. More than you wanted to know.

Thanks for the response.
I have plenty of friends.
I just feel uncomfortable approaching athletes, celebrities, etc.
To me, they have private lives too.
I have ZERO need to be included in their lives to any extent.

Different strokes for different folks.. 😆

Thanks again.
 
I haven't taken the time to read much of this thread.

With that said, for those agreeing with Schmidt, questions.

What's it going to take to truly be a FCS Championship program?

Can it be done under Hauck?

If not Hauck, who do you suggest or recommend to be THE MAN?

I make my points all the time logically. I literally never talk politics on this site. Schmidt made reference to it, so I hammered him. Kyle made a very snarky and demeaning comment that lead to my barrage on him.

I am 95% cordial here. Very positive interactions like literally, almost always. Schmidt and kype get as snarky and negative as literally any griz fan I ever interact with, as you may have gathered, I think its ridiculous. Bare in mind, kyle and my battle happened during the middle end of the season,the griz were undefeated. Literally leading the conference in major categories. And he went off about specific student athletes. Just totally shit on them. And guess what? I happen to know specifically, and get messages directly, from players parents. THAT sort of shit is TOXIC for a college football program and players. Bobby specifically refers to that type of fan behavior as "rat poison", a term cloned by nick Saban about crazy and negative Fandom.

Appreciate your feedback, but I dont see im in the wrong in any way. Further, im very nice in general in person. Friendly, personable, people person, etc. However. I have very little tolerance for bullshit. I carry myself in life just like I do on this forum. Positive, engaging, enjoy the banter etc , and most certainly going to share my opinion and not take idiocy.

Happy to hang out any time at a game and enjoy a beer together.

Stupid? I don't think so, but not happy with my post for sure, it was uncalled for. You have my apologies, sincerely. You're one of the ergizzers I have the most respect for. I don't always agree with what you say, but do most of the time & know your opinions are well thought out. Schmidt makes some good points that a lot of Griz fans cannot grasp. Not because they're dim wits, but because they're hanging on to the past while the present is skating on past them. He's pretty clear with his message, and without naming names you know who he's talking about. You should take a listen Soldier. My ten cents.

I listened Vamos and I think Schmidt is correct about the strength and conditioning program. I also think he is living in the past a bit. There is a lot that changed. 16 Brawl’s in a row was an anomaly. I loved it, but it just was. Cats and Griz both have good programs and the game could go either way anymore. I think the truth of Schmidt’s commentary is somewhere in the middle. Work to be done, but the sky isn’t falling.

We're 11 and gawdamn 1. OF COURSE THE SKY ISN'T FALLING. How many 11-1 teams in the country would even CONSIDER "the sky is falling" at 11-1?? Good LORD.

And of course, there is always stuff to improve. I trust the staff is well tuned to that. If I didnt have confidence in that, id be vocal about that, too.

They never have an answer. That is the problem. Big complaints. "We need a new coach," "we need a new strength and conditioning coach," "we need a better play caller and o line coach."

But when asked who could do it better, the answer is ALWAYS "I don't know who, but the University needs to find better." It is an endless cycle. Maybe there is some incredible coach and staff out there just chomping at the bit to come to Missoula, but I don't see it. We have one of the most veteran and successful staffs in the FCS, and the winningest coach in Big Sky history.

It is people living in the past and thinking it would somehow be easy to just build a national championship team because it was done 24 years ago. Success sometimes goes to people's head a bit too much.

We won't be NDSU, and we will not have their dynasty. No team in FCS history has ever come close. It is a false standard that is being set, and the same people cheer on the Cats as being somehow "closer" to it than the Griz even though they haven't done it either.

Sure. We can grab a beer some time. Hopefully you treat people differently in person. I agree with your points on the Griz. When you attack people personally and start talking about their lives and career, in the case of Kyle, or just being personally derogatory, in the case of Schmidt, I think it is way out of bounds and toxic.

Sure, support the team. I agree that it can be poison, and I have been saying that on here for years. I just don't see the ad hominem attacks as anything but really ugly and mean spirited, man.

Just saying. But I guess maybe I am just too limp wristed or something. 🤷
