And yet none of what happened prior to this year matters. Win this year....thats the only thing that counts.
So you're saying that "tradition" doesn't matter? There are probably hundreds of millions and maybe even billions of sports fans worldwide that would disagree with you.

Nope thats not what I said. Past results do not predict future results. And the world is pretty dumb if they disagree with that.
What you said is "none of what happened prior to this year matters" and if you meant "Past results do not predict future results" then that is what you should have said. I am quite sure that two statements don't mean the same thing. Besides sports bettors in Vegas wouldn't agree with your revised statement either -- not that you will of course care -- but these people make a living predicting the future so I'd say you are still pretty much wrong. I believe you will find that teams with winning histories are a good bet to continue to win.

These are all great and interesting stats, and I don't really blame you for thumping your chests about it because it's about all you got lately. How many times have the griz won the Big Sky this decade? How about the Cats?

The BSC championship thing is a joke. 2 of the times you won it you plays EWU out of conerence and they beat you both times! And for many years with foolerton as commissioner most of your conference games were teams who played the Griz the week before!

Actually, in 2010 we beat Eastern 30-7 at home and it was a conference game. In 2011, we beat EWU on the road 36-21 and it was a conference game. In 2012, they beat us by 3 at home and it was a conference game. Shared a Big Sky title each of those years.

As for your last sentence... :roll:

Keep posting facts, not BS. :thumb:

Without every team in the conference playing all the teams in the conference, there is not true conference champion.


Thats the thing, when the Griz were rolling through the BSC with championships we were mostly going undefeated through the conference....therefore no dispute about who was absolutely the best team....

Since the cats have won their BSC titles....they have had the opportunity to beat up on shit schools and still lose to the 1 or 2 good schools they played. Half the time they play EWU its non conference anymore.....UND is one of their "rivals" for christ sake.

Another thing..it doesnt matter if the cats win the conference because they always get bounced in the 1st 2 rounds......lets come back down to earth over there boys!
 
This is where we need to insert the pic from Face Book showing the ground breaking of the Champions Center and Locker rooms. These 2 additions to Griz athletics will assure Griz dominance on the football field for at least another decade.

Basically, we are "rivals" because we are the closest team in proximity to them in the conference (which is still about a 12 hour drive from Bozeman). And on EWU, the Cats aren't in-charge of who they play in-conference so I'm glad we play EWU non-conference when we have the chance so don't really know what that statement is about.

During Ash's tenure, here was our record against conference foes:

UM - 2-7
EWU - 2-7
NAU - 3-4
Everyone Else - 42-7 (and three of those losses came last year)

So basically, we had an awful record against the three most consistently good teams over the past 9 years. Not good enough.
 
State College would be more successful in the NAIA as they certainly are not a rival of UM. It is difficult for State College to recruit good student-athletes as compared to UM, thus, I've been told you can't win football games without good ball players. I would think the situation at State College will continue to get worse no matter how much lip service they give. :lol: :thumb:

Well, you are right on us not beating the top teams (on average) in the conference over the past 9 years under Ash and beating up on the weaker opponents. And the Big Sky designated UND as a rival to us so we had no control over that.

Here let me give you a list of people I'd like you to argue with for me next..Playa Rep...GrizGirl....if you have no plans for the summer throw in UM75 also...haha

But I know MSU didnt pick UND...there was absolutely no thought put in to which teams were eachothers rivals after Montana and EWU it seems.
 
I swear GrizGirl and UM75 are one in the same. There have been many, many posts about Stitt and unprofessional press conferences and lack of press releases by Stitt posted by GrizGirl over there. Makes ya wonder.

You are obsessed. Several times, as others have commented on "Stitt's" strategies adversely, you have blamed me. On a sideline altercation between Stitt and Simis, reported by another poster, you blamed me. After engaging in a ridiculous argument over Stitt's salary, you continue to deny what was proven, apparently simply because your facts were wrong and mine were correct in reading his contract. Now you are crawling all over other fan websites trying to ascertain an "anti-Stitt" agenda that you want desperately to pin on me for some reason, and attempt to do so by manufacturing allegations that are perilously close to being outright lies. What's your purpose?

The fact is, you have appointed yourself the Hall Monitor for your personal perceived "anti-Stitt" agendas even as multiple posters have offered all sorts of critiques, but you seem to want to focus your personal agenda on me. Jayzuz, in the first place, who cares? In the second place, who made you that Hall Monitor? In the third place, why are you so obsessed with Bob Stitt that you keep running around like a little girlie man whining about it thread after thread?

Bob's a big boy and can take care of himself.

You obviously have an obsession about it, and about me, but try and grow up a little, and simply recall that no one cares about your personal agenda or obsessions, including your recurring paranoia about who is posting about Stitt on Wombat Nation. And no, its not me, and yes, it is yet another outright lie you are newly fabricating apparently have grown frustrated trying to foist your older lame claims and excuses off on egriz readers.

Why not just stick to advocating that football athletes that get hurt shouldn't get proper diagnosis? It was a fine example of your contempt for athletes and for this sport.

Here's another interesting statistic: the Bobcats have sucked for about a decade longer than any current player has been alive. Literally all current players have only existed in a world where the Bobcats suck.
That really does suck. How DO you motivate a team with that kind of backstory on everyone's mind?

Ohh, the irony.
"You will tell them by their brown noses."
Well, I guess congratulations are in order as you managed to post something in fewer than 45,000 words. It still doesn't make a lick of sense, but baby steps, I suppose.
And you managed to continue your tradition of "blah, blah, blah." Is your life just dedicated to being an egriz troll anymore?
