Griz changing school colors again for 2014 season?

If memory serves me right, weren't the Poor Boyz eventually linked as the masterminds behind the Teapot Dome Scandal?

That is a common theory. After they took down Craig, the Pour Boyz probably thought they were invincible. I remember speaking with Tommy J. Walsh at a GSA pancake brunch around that time (1924-ish), and he couldn't shut up about no interest loans and the fact that some Doheny guy had a barkeep's license from the State of Montana. He also was tweeting some very cryptic things about a "Fall Guy" around that time.

Ol' Tommy "Two Times" Walsh. There is a picture of him jet skiing with Al Capone and Fatty Arbuckle on Swan Lake in the Mansfield Center. Picture must be from '26 or '27. People forget about Tommy and the influence the Montana Black Hand actually had. People also forget that Tommy was a hell of a web designer.

Ha! The ladies called him Tommy "Two Times Too Many" Walsh. I've actually seen the picture you reference. Rumor is that ol' Scarface caught the syph from a flapper girl in a Charlo gin joint. He had several Facebook check-ins there in '27. I commend you for being a true patriot and UM athletic history enthusiast. There aren't many of us left.

I have heard two versions of how Copone got the clap. The one you reference and another involving a soiled dove at Trixie's in Ovando. Walsh used to tell a great story about the night his drinking buddy, Harold "Babe" Malone and Charles Lindbergh took a fresh faced 21-year old George Dahlberg out on the town one night. Apparently Dahlberg was introduced to Wilma "Gams" Fitzpatrick of Columbia Falls that night and after the photobomb of the two of them in the rumble seat hit the internet, he was forever known as "Jiggs".

I've never heard that one, but I just saw the picture from the rumble seat on Instagram. She was something else! If I'm remembering it correctly, Gams' real last name was O'Houlihan. They started calling her "Fitzpatrick" after she dated Patrick "Tripod" McGhee for six months. Quite the dame, I'm told. I used to play jai alai with her dad in the parking lot of Pick's in Bigfork. His name was Mickey, but everyone called him "nutcup." I never figured out why.

You Sir are a true historian of Western Montana. I'm a bit embarrassed to admit this, but back when I was a student at UM in the late-20's, I would spend my summers working for the Forest Service putting up cell phone towers in the Yaak. I actually worked with Mickey's son, Rudolph "Rudy" O'Houlihan for two summers up there. Come to think of it, Rudy did mention that he had a sister named Wilma that walked with a terrible limp. Understandably he told me it was because she had polio as a child.

One drunken night in Troy, Rudy broke down and told me about how his father received the nickname of "nut cup". Apparently during the Great War, his father was on the unfortunate end of a dirty Hun's bayonet attack. Apparently he left more than blood on a field in France that day. He said that on every Armistice Day he received a drunken Skype call from his tearful father until Mickey's death in the late 40's.

Hammer's assumption is that these posts took more than seconds.

Classic eGriz. Might have to return more often.

Beats "move up" threads and prick-waiving dick fights between pickles and anyone with a capital A at the front of their handle.

Go Griz!

Maroon represents copper.
Probably still won't make sense to some of you.

Technically teal represents copper.
