I called you fickle because you said you’d give up your season tickets if the Griz moved up. Many teams have moved up recently and had success. Even lowly Missouri state moved up and had success. The defeatist attitude you have on the prospect of a move up is unwarranted. We have a team right now in its current iteration that would be upper half of the MWC, which are the peers I’d like to see our team competing with. I’m not attacking you when I say you’re being fickle, it’s an honest observation of your attitude toward the football team and athletic department should it aspire to take the next step in its evolution.

Georgia Southern, App State, JMU, Jacksonville State, North Texas, Coastal Carolina, Marshall, Boise St, have all won or been to conference championships and Boise has made a name for themselves at the FBS Level including being in the playoffs and giving a semifinalist Penn State a run for their money. Freaking Kennesaw State won their conference this year! It’s not all just about championships either. Being FBS brings more national exposure and exposure drives enrollment which is the whole point of athletics for colleges/universities.

I apologize for responding to your first post. If you want to get in silly fights, take on Hoops or Glacier. I am an alum and support the university financially. Sports are only a part of what UM is about. And nowhere close to the most important part. If I don’t pay for season tickets, I will contribute more to Excellence Fund.

Everett, please dislike this post.

Okay.

Like I said, you are full of shit. I never said I would quit cheering for UM or quit attending UM games. I just won’t buy season tickets. Where I come from, calling someone fickle is an insult.

So don’t be fickle 🤷‍♂️. And if you don’t buy those season tickets, someone else will.

Well guess I will continue to try and not be a quitter...

If you are implying that I am a quitter because I won’t pay for season tickets if UM moves up to a FBS conference, then maybe you should work on discernment first. You might be able to achieve it. Then again, maybe there isn’t a first time for everything.

Maybe you should work on not being a big baby.

Why such a crybaby because someone thinks it’s a dumb idea to move up to a FBS conference?

This deja vu all over again thread comes back to life....again. Until an FBS conference extends an invite or a new conference is formed at that level the whole thing is pointless. Once the big dogs decide who they want to keep around as cannon fodder and ditch the rest we can resurrect the argument.

Except they're not. Ask 100 random people who won last year's college football national championship. If even one of them answers "ndsu" I'll pay you $10,000.

Okay, well it took me less than ten people and you already owe me $10,000. Let me know how you'd like to pay up.

Your argument that it's not a "real" championship - it's just ridiculous on its face. There are divisions in college, and in high school, for a reason. If you don't think of those "lower" divisions as being worth playing, that's fine, but there are millions of people who think otherwise.
