Bison - loaded again

[CDAGRIZ]

Just trust human nature. Few sustain success indefinitely. Greed, egos. Peter principle, government, unpredictable disasters. Sooner or later someone will be jealous, vindictive, insecure, or stupid and screw the pooch. There have been too many examples of people, companies, and countries. Anyone remember Montana Power? Enjoy it while you have it,

This by someone, I think, who knows nothing of the Bison football program, spanning 50 years or more.

To be fair, there might only be seven people on Earth who know about the Bizons'z's program over the last 50 years.

Ha if there are 7 people who know about the Bison program over the past 50 years, I don’t know if any know about the Griz. When Montana even comes close to accomplishing what NDSU has done as a program, both you and I will likely be 6 feet under.

The fact that Montana is an awesome state has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with UM football. I can live in Montana, take in the great fishing and hunting it offers, and still be a Bison fan.

That. Right there. That's the point. Thanks!

NDSU is the best football school in the area of Minnesota/SD/ND. Shear population and success drives in talent. That simple. Why would a kid from Minnesota that is gonna be a backup at Michigan/Ohio State/etc. go anywhere but NDSU?

I respect the NDSU program, but am not going to come on here kissing their asses. I do wonder something though.
How is it Egrizzers can actually carry on a decent conversation when the subject is about NDSU or other fellow FCS schools, but about every GRIZ thread gets derailed ? It would be nice if egrizzers showed our own GRIZ the same kind of respect and/or common sense as we do NDSU.

I remember a young Coach Hauck say how the Griz were going to light up the scoreboard shartly after he was hired. Then they played JMU in Chatanooga and those big lineman dominated a smaller Griz team.
At the press conference after the game either the JMU coach or a player said they won becasue they played a different kind of football. I suspect this experience had a deep impression on a young coach.

I remember a young Bobby Hauck having his #3 ranked Griz suffer an embarrassing loss to a mediocre D2 team in his first home game.

I seem to remember the last time the Bissson played in Missoula in front of a national audience they ... well I am pretty sure you remember the outcome as well. You can Counts on it.

Lol do you think you guys will ever let go of that game? I mean I understand that might be a top 3 win in your program's history, but I would have forgot about it the minute I watched my team get their ass handed to them 37-6 in a playoff game.....Maybe one day you will hang a banner to acknowledge that win.

That smoke filled exhibition game was the best thing that ever happened to NDSU. Gave all of those freshmen defensive players a taste of game action and helped position them to later win a championship.

That playoff game was held in the confines of Fargo's Dome and the Bison had two weeks prep time. I would say the odds were definitely tilted in NDSU's favor. I would have been surprised if the Griz had won that game in Fargo's Dome.
