Griz Don't Exist

Well yeah, that's because nobody in Montana except for PR and maybe a handful of others have ever played the college game before.

You don't get on Egriz much I take it, obviously the New York Times does.
 
Interesting, only stats they used were likes per location. I've had a FB for about 10 years and I've never hit like on anything...waiting for a dislike button.
 
For those who read the story, this is near the bottom: "...these were created using estimates of team support based on each team’s share of Facebook “likes” in a ZIP code. We then applied an algorithm to deal with statistical noise and fill in gaps where data was missing. Facebook “likes” are an imperfect measure, but as we’ve noted before, Facebook likes show broadly similar patterns to polls.
...In the coming weeks, we’ll also release specific ones just for some conferences."

Seems to me that it's entirely possible that their algorithm didn't pick up UM because there are so many fan pages for it, splitting up the number of likes. Or SOMETHING. I would highly doubt that they excluded UM on purpose... I'm thinking that their method excluded the Griz somehow. My assumption is based on Idaho showing up at all, to tell you the truth. That yellow spot in the Idaho panhandle seems way bigger than it should be. I would guess UM's footprint would be AT LEAST as big as Idaho's. So, I suspect something is amiss..
 
Aren't existing much on the field either as of late (last 4 years). I'm usually optimistic about the coaching and play calling but this is getting ridiculous. The UND game is hard to watch. Gone are the days of the killer-instinct and punishing brand of football Montana once possessed. I am hopeful that the team begins to regain their prestige, and although I hate to admit, I hope the University begins to look for a coaching staff that implements the kick-ass philosophy rather than this soft-handed "take what they give us" approach we are being force-fed. I know I do not speak for Griz Nation, but I also know I am not alone with these thoughts. It's easy to see if you look around, the atmosphere just isn't the same. This Ship has been on a steady decline, and something needs to be done immediately. Those kids playing on the field deserve better.
