Game thread vs NAU 1/27/18

[MissoulaMarinerFan]

Citay, I appreciate the consideration and respect. Man, I see you were on a roll with a few of your phrases

As for PR, he really is not as bad as some of us make him out to be. Yes, he and I have exchanged some words on here, but it has been awhile. One thing I give credit to PR for, that I wish more fans would do. He tries to get someone to fill his seats when he and/or his family cannot make the game. That is something I really do appreciate. The basketball team needs the support. If every season ticket holder would do what he does, the 1st level of most games would be packed. It sure beats seeing the empty seats, when those season ticket holders cannot make it.

You both are great fans, Just have different ways of seeing things and representing. I thank both of you for your support.

Well said. :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Agree with all of this. General Admission was pretty full the night of the buy one get 1 free and for NAU. Now just have to start filling in the "reserve" seats (the $13 or so tix) a bit better The mo, mo, momentum is building...

Good post, Rule. I’ll simply add that you can be a good fan without telling everyone about it.

Well I like to think I am a good fan . So if that is a, although as Citay said incomplete, list of good fans then it is an honor to be on it. :thumb:

I won't comment on who should and shouldnt be on it. I think some of what Citay is saying is there are some fans that have been following the team reliably and with hope and enthusiasm even prior to this year's excellence. There are some fans that will get behind the team now that they are doing well when previously only football mattered to them. To be honest the basketball team needs them all even the very recent ones and they have done a good job earning them. I will hold extra respect for those, like Citay, and others who have been more faithful fans for longer than me. I really didnt follow closely until 1992 after I graduated high school in Billings and came to the UM. Sure I watched games if they were in TV but had never been to one in person until college.

There is also a group of posters on this forum who have been carrying it for years when the most posters exclusively posted on the footballl board so I certainly think they deserve to get a little more satisfaction out of the team's success as well. I could be wrong but overall I think these are the sort of things he Citay was getting at.

Yup. Beautifully said. Exactly.

Can you two name any poster on this forum who is a Griz fan, as opposed to Cat fan or troll, who has not been supporting the team for multiple years? I can't think of any, but please speak up.

Citay was jumping Hauck and Bodnar. Huh? Bodnar has been to most mens games and women's games since he became president. Why diss him? Hauck has probably been to way more hoops games in Dahlberg than Citay, in Hauck's college days, prior 7 years of coaching football, and now the last month. Why diss him.

I've been to way more men's and women's hoops games than Citay in the past 20 years, and way more Big Sky tourney games and ncaa games, and contributed way more money I assume, than Citay. Who does he think he is? Other than a big mouth. Jealousy.

I talked to a half dozen players tonight. The younger guys plus Rorie. Also Dorsey. Seemed like terrific guys. I asked Nico has is shot was going down in practice, and he said very well.

I asked them if they looked at egriz, and they said no. I said good; they shouldn't.

Why are you asking me to name anyone? I already said I dont have an opinion on who is a good fan and who isnt. I certainly said nothing about Hauck or Bodnar nor you for that matter. I merely acknowledged that there are some people that have been fans longer than me and I dont know who they are but was thankful they have been fans through thick and thin. I also stated the team was happy for all the fans they have earned, new and old.

I haven't intended to ask you anything. Was meant as general question, for Citay and anyone else is picking at posters who may have starting supporting the team or posting in the basketball forum recently.

I like Citay too. Just not as much when he feels the need to pick at me. That can lead to picking in the other direction. Citay generally follows the Griz from a far and apparently started back in 1966, Obviously, all good. But don't know why he would call Bodnar and Hauck, and a fan who first saw the Griz play in the early 60's (apparently before he did), and attends many games in Missoula and out in Missoula in person, but didn't become a fan until early 90's. No big deal. Had Citay not made his post, I wouldn't have said a word. All is fine.

Good post, Rule. I’ll simply add that you can be a good fan without telling everyone about it.

I will also say that one can be a good fan, without jumping at supposed "newcomers "like Bodnar and Hauck and people who have been fans for 25 years. And as for myself, if someone says something untrue about me, I may just set the record straight. That is not the same as telling everyone about it, in my view. I also believe that it's possible and better to follow the Griz without bitching about the conference in every other post or so.
