Boom goes the athletic dept budget

Additionally - how the heck would you make those travel plans? Oh, I'll be in Frisco, TX for 2 days... or a week, not sure yet.
 
Question my objectivity all you wish.

I simply would like you to -- at least once -- do so with some facts that back up your position. Absent that, it's just blather coming from you.

Blather? You must be joking. This is how I feel about a subject, I'm not taking stats out of my ass and telling you they are real, I'm telling you how I feel about UM moving up. You said MWC was dying to get UM in there, I don't see your facts on that bullshit response. I can't imagine in a million years why MWC would want UM after they took SJSU, who was thinking about dropping football. That shows me, in my opinion, that MWC wasn't considering UM, because if I was them, I would much rather take UM then SJSU any day of the week.
You come on here and don't give your opinion, you come on here and tell people how they should think. You and PR are the same person, telling us not what you think, but what we SHOULD think, and if we happen to think differently, we are called idiots because we don't see the world the same as you. I try to be objective as possible and there are multiple things I don't agree with that perhaps other Bobcat fans would. MSU doesn't rule my life, you have to think outside that box, they aren't perfect.
/End story. Good luck and goodnight.
 
OP,

Seriously, not trying to be an ass here. But this doesn't make any sense:

If even you would have chosen Montana, is it logical to conclude that the MWC didn't at least consider UM?

My position is that UM was most likely the first program approached by the MWC, but when UM turned them down, the conference went looking elsewhere. That's why I stated that the MWC would have loved to have Montana. It seems that you agree they would have been a better fit than the teams chosen. Perhaps we're in agreement here.

I wanted to take the hot girl to prom but I didn't want to get rejected so I took the easy girl who I knew wanted to go with me. But I tell everybody I never even considered the hot girl even though I would rather have taken her.

I think that is what Optimus is trying to say. :roll:

Perhaps I should have elaborated more, I can't imagine UM was ranked higher than SJSU on MWC's list. To me, picking SJSU over UM is silly, SJSU hasn't been relevant ever, nor do I even remember they are a school. So my opinion is that UM wasn't even approached because picking SJSU is borderline ridiculous. So silly in fact that they have become a decent conference to becoming the next WAC:
2013
* Air Force (decent)
* Colorado State (decent)
* Fresno State (decent, kinda)
* Hawaii (football only) (Meh)
* Nevada (They have been good recently)
* New Mexico (New Mexico is a state?)
* San Jose State University (Trbl, kenny, just Trbl.)
* UNLV (No comment needed.)
* Utah State (Meh)
* Wyoming (Meh)
Perhaps you have "inside" info that states that an actual offer was extended to UM, but whoever decided that SJSU was a better pick must be stupid, and thus I can't imagine an offer was extended.
I hope that helps, I might be rambling....
 
Okay, I think we're basically in agreement. But just to be clear: You believe that Montana was a fit for the MWC, but wasn't asked because the conference is led by people too stupid to recognize that. I believe that the conference did recognize it, but knew they would be rejected by UM.

Indeed.

See? That wasn't so hard to get us to agree, was it??! ;)

i think it's more like my dad won't let me go to the prom with you, not i'm too good to go to the prom with you. you gotta love the wording there. we turned them down...like we're waiting for or have a better offer. but i can't even believe i'm not asking for some kind of evidence that the m.w.c. ever asked us out in the first place. :roll: maybe they asked if we were in a position to go to the m.w.c., that i could see, but i doubt they asked when they probably know we wouldn't even be able to fund the number of teams to join per the whole o'day-fed w.a.c. fiasco. :roll: :roll:
