Only Gen X and Millennials understand what can and should be accomplished by Griz football teams. Coach Read might've been a boomer but he was all about inspiring confidence. He wasn't a shrinking violet who looked to see what the Griz could lose. He saw what the Griz could become.

Don Read was not a boomer, he was from the silent generation. Boomers were born after World War 2 ended and Don Read was born in 1933. Don Read was also in his 50s when he took over as head coach at Montana which is currently Gen X.

Because I know the game of football, say ISU, and know the Griz. No, the Griz are fine in the trenches. You never played football and don't understand football or the trenches.

You don't know the trenches. You admitted on here that you just watch the DBs. Stop lying

I know alot about MSU. I went to junior high and high school in Bozeman. My family is still centered there. My step-dad was a ME professor at MSU for multiple decades. My mom worked for the MSU Foundation. Our family friends had lots of professor families. My niece is married to a professor. Many of our family went to MSU, including recently. One of our kids went to MSU. I represented half of the good tech companies in Bozeman for several decades. Our firm, and I, did work for MSU. I follow MSU and read lots of articles. Some of our family and family businesses have been MSU supporters for about 70 years. I was asked to join MSU QB Club at one point in the past I turned down a football scholarship at MSU. My family and I contribute to MSU.

^^ is the problem. Someone with so many ties to MSU is telling UM grads and Griz supporters that everything is fine with Griz football, when it isn't. Ask yourself why that might be. What happened in 2025 might be the reason.

If you are supporting Hoops, you are supporting the cats.

I don’t know why you bother even responding to this geriatric douchelord. Dude legit has brain damage from having his face buried in Bobby’s asshole for so long.

It’s pathetic that an octogenarian would dick ride a small-time college football coach like a teen girl does the Backstreet Boys.

He will never admit anything is wrong whatsoever. It’s a complete waste of time entering into a dialogue with someone so out of touch and willfully ignorant to reality.

Get back to your steroids and people/women making fun of you at the gym. And dragging down your family by spending and wasting their money, and making them bail you out of financing and other jams.

Doesn't look like UM is having any problems with attendance and season tickets. Where do some of these posters come up with their nonsense?

Seasons ticket sales ahead increased 15% eery year since 2021.

"Demand for Grizzly football has once again reached an all-time high.

For the first time in program history, Montana has sold-out of season tickets ahead of the 2025 slate with 19,737 packages sold and distributed more than a week before kickoff.

The new total marks the third-consecutive year Montana has set a new season ticket record. This year's total is nearly 1,000 more than 2024's record, is roughly 80 percent the listed capacity of Washington-Grizzly Stadium and is one of the highest at any level of college football in the Rocky Mountain West.

Montana has seen year-over year increases in season ticket sales since the Covid pandemic, averaging a nearly 15 percent increase every year since 2021. In 2023, UM broke the old stadium record (set in 2009) with 18,761 season tickets sold, built on that record with 18,881 in 2024, and set another new record in 2025 with 19,737 packages sold and distributed.

"This season ticket number is truly amazing and once again emphasizes this fact, the support Griz athletics receives from our passionate fan base is unmatched. I speak for our student-athletes, coaches and the university when I express my gratitude to Griz Nation for their commitment. We simply could not accomplish the goals we have set without this level of support," said UM director of athletics Kent Haslam.

UM led the FCS in accumulative attendance in 2024 with 193,391 passing through the turnstiles and finished second in average attendance with 24,174 fans per game. In 2024 Montana also set a new program record for consecutive sellouts at 16-straight games, a streak that started in 2022.

In 2023 Montana sold-out all six of its regular season games and sold-out the semifinal game against NDSU – the first playoff sellout in program history. The Griz also packed more than 27,000 into WGS for the first time ever that year with 27,178 in attendance to see the Griz beat Montana State 37-7 in the Brawl of the Wild game. All told, seven of the top 25 attended games in Washington-Grizzly Stadium history occurred in 2023 and 2024.

Boise State, which reached the College Football Playoff last season and is set to move to the Pac-12 next year, sold 19,762 season tickets in 2024, just 25 more than UM's new record.

The Griz would have placed second in the Mountain West Conference last year ahead of Fresno State (16,433), Colorado State (12,000), and UNLV (10,121), and would more than doubled the totals of San Diego State (9,852), Air Force (8,853), Utah State (8,612), Nevada (7,561), Hawaii (7,473), New Mexico (6,366), and San Jose State (3,446), according to a report from Nevada Sports Net.

Montana's new season ticket total is higher than five Mountain West teams' average home attendance in 2024 as well, including Nevada (17,288), Utah State (16,992), San Jose State (16,058), New Mexico (16,001), and Hawaii (12,963). It's also higher than every FCS team's 2024 average attendance outside of three other programs.

Elsewhere in the region, Washington State has reportedly sold 9,751 season tickets this year. The all-time record for season tickets at Martin Stadium in Pullman is reported to be just over 14,200.

You math isn't mathing.

2023 18,761
2025 19,737

= 5% increase over 3 years, not a 15% increase over 5 years

Please give us an update on what's going on for J.D. after you see him. My favorite Griz.

Kem, JD was good. We ate at a great Seafood restaurant in Dallas. His pool excavating business continues to do well. He’s almost skinny. Not that much over 200. I asked him if he ever lifts, and he said no. Split with his wife in recent years/times, and said that was best. Was with a very nice woman at dinner. His dad, who played football, maybe LB, at TCU, is sick. After knowing JD and his antics, and then meeting his dad and learning he was a practicing psychologist, I always chuckled at that. JD broke his foot recently in a work accident, but no big deal. I told JD what you said, and told him about your football and life background. He said he hopes to meet you sometime. He comes to some Griz games in Missoula and I assume would go to any championship game with the Griz in it. I wanted to introduce Riley Wilson to him, but Riley was out of town for the weekend.

Then apologize to me, and contact UM. You are one of the many Cats, and Griz, on egriz, who can't read, and can't remember.

Why in the hell would I apologize to you, you are the idiot that reposted disinformation. I mean if you don't have enough critical thinking capabilities to immediately see that the statement you posted is an obvious lie then you should apologize the this entire board.

What I posted was accurate, not disinformation, and not a lie. As usual, you are wrong.

It's easy to see a name on the jersey on TV; it's not so easy from most seats in WaGriz. Names are unnecessary, programs are widely available and free, LazyLarry.

Usually by the end of the season I've memorized the program, but then many leave to the portal, and it starts all over. Names aren't that expensive to add to jerseys. Yes, I'm lazy, if I wanted a workout I wouldn't go to the game, nomagickemagic.
