Definitely not a scum bag. He truly cares about the University of Montana and the football program. I think you might have selective reading because if you read everything, most of the time posters attack him first and he doesn't put up with that BS. There are numerous trolls on here spewing nonsense and crap to either get a rise out of others or to just cause trouble. And yes he does call out a lot of those real scum bags and I'm glad he does because we've been getting a lot more of those assholes on here. Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion on here, but I think you've got it wrong with Hoops. I don't read every thread or every single post, but when I do decide to jump in on one and I read Hoops posts, he's usually right on almost everything he talks about. Some people hate getting proved wrong, which is why some don't like him. Some people don't like me because I misspelled Dave Dickensons name wrong. Even though technically I didn't but the spell check automatically changed it to Dickerson, because I didn't take the time to check a mistake I know I didn't make, I got shit for it. And a few people went out of there way to try and make me feel bad about it. Probably the dumbest thing I've ever witnessed on here but those are the types of posters we have, not all but some of them are assholes who really don't know the game of football and pretend like they know it all. Hoops isn't one of those assholes, he's the guy who sticks up to a lot of those assholes.
