Nope you started the conversation. Back up what you have said. I know, you can't. You can't even list anyone you know that actually knows me.

Everyone I know who knows you says you are a big nothing and a jerk.

I started the conversation? The conversation started with you making a BS comment that you had control and influence over major boosters...and usual you can't back it up.

He’s a fraud. People in my family and my wife’s actually played football for Montana, unlike yours. And people in my greater family have donated more to Montana than yours. Still using steroids?

hoops why are you calling out people for use of steroids? I've seen your physique and you have obviously used pearoids. If you were an inch shorter, you'd be a circle.

Ok boomer

(Honestly? Because it's funny. Boomers have spent my entire life whining about how my generation is oversensitive and easily offended, so the tantrums they throw after hearing that word are great.)

What tantrums? I have never heard any boomer say any generation is oversensitive or easily offended. Don’t know what planet you are from.

I didn’t call anyone out for using steroids. I just asked a question. You obviously don’t know who I am or haven’t seen me for a long time. I’m not skinny, but I am in decent shape. I work out everyday. Probably haven’t been in Missoula for 15 days since last October. Probably only 30 in more a year. Can only think of one of my egriz friends I’ve seen since last October. Do you support people who use steroids and have rutty faces? It’s weird how you “follow” me around on egriz.

No, you can’t refute it. A couple of my good friends have been asked to make single donations over $3 million. I know a good chunk of UM’s larger donors from the past several decades. You can even name most of the major donors and potential donors.

Are you still saying you have “influence and control” over your “good friends” and whether they make those over 3 million dollar donations? Why would they ever need you to make those decisions? You have NEVER made a contribution anywhere near that amount. Go ahead and refute that. Why would people who have significant money ever listen to you about how to donate it?

I have nothing against Baby Boomers. That was simply an observation about you.

Anyways, the argument your AI slop made is really flawed. So your point is that generations who are two and three times removed from Baby Boomers and have had 40-50 less years to generate wealth, have less wealth than the Boomers? This on top of the fact that Boomers have already benefitted from the generational wealth shift from the Greatest Generation.

What are these stats going to say in 30-40 years? This has nothing to do with Boomer superiority, it’s just demographics.

This is almost as funny as you trying to act like you knew how mega-cap employee tech stock awards work, because you did the (relatively minuscule) RightNow deal back when Gianforte still had hair. Simple Jack, you really know how to top yourself.

I was a securities and tech lawyer for 45 years. Involved in most of the IPO’s in state for many decades. Represented Great Plains Software and Doug Bergum of Fargo too. Half of the top tech companies in the State for decades. Wrote many of their stock plans. The RightNow sale is the largest transaction ever done in Montana, to my knowledge. Sold to Oracle. Great Plains was sold to Microsoft. I suppose you have never heard of them.

Because they are good friends and-or clients. And I fronted for one of those guys with the UM Foundation on the discussions.

Let’s see your list of major donors and potential UM donors. You know so little you can even do a list. Everyone I know knows you are a big nothing.

Love how you totally ignore the entire point of the post, which was you had AI create some ignorant argument. I guess you are conceding and admitting it was lazy, non-sensical rambling?

Anyways, yes, we’ve heard the story. You couldn’t cut it practicing in New York and had to move back to MT. It has haunted you your entire adult life, so you have to try and play “big fish, small pond” to compensate.

I can go pull up the post from January to help jog your failing memory. You tried to make an argument about wealth in Chandler AZ vs. Bozeman. I pointed out that you had no idea what you were talking about, because you were explaining stock rewards as you had seen them in smaller, regional deals. It wasn’t a flex-off, just me once again pointing out that your argument was wrong.

I did well in nyc, but always to move back West. Got recruited by 2d firm. My 2d firm was in or around top 100 in US. Offices in Europe, Asia and Canada too. Big in M&A. Clients like Mayo Clinic, United Health, US Bank, Cargill, Northwest-Delta, Dain, Piper, DA Davidson, Pacific, Sletton. I headed our Montana offices. I was partners and friends with the likes of Walter Mondale, Amy Klobuchar. First firm had many famous and accomplished people too. I worked on stock plans for companies of all sizes. I could tell you didn’t know what you were talking about in our prior exchange. There are various types of stock and incentive plans.

WALTER MONDALE, you are bragging about working for the same national firm as Walter Mondale? What’s next? You once shared a sauna with Spiro Agnew?

Maybe if Amy threw another binder at your head, just hard enough, it may knock some sense into you again.

Also, thank you for admitting you lost the prior point. I don’t care what 99% of the board thinks, you can be gracious.

Also, is there another article you can share? I think you’ve posted that same link like 200x before. Maybe it “slipped your mind?”

VCSU breaks ground on Tharaldson Family Athletic Center

A decades old dream is about to become reality for Valley City State University. More than 250 people were on hand Thursday to celebrate groundbreaking for the Tharaldson Family Athletic Center, showing their enthusiasm for the project and appreciation for the private donors who helped make it...

www.vcsu.edu

NAIA Valley City State announces that they are getting a permanent indoor practice facility before the Division 1 Montana Grizzlies.

Can we just return the bubble and build a permanent structure? 😂
