Totally agree on Dallas and Texas. I only went to one game in Chatty. Nice little town. Personally, I'd like to see the game wind up in Vegas (even though I detest the place) or Denver. Someplace centrally located.

If Vegas is centrally located, are Omaha and Kansas City considered "east coast?"

:clap: :clap: :clap:

TX, describes my situation almost EXACTLY. Of course, I don't live in that shit stain of an area around Amarillo... :lol: I live in the Shangrila that IS.....San Antonio!

We get to visit what is best about the SA-Austin area and then come back to sanity - with low humidity and far less cockroaches. BTW I just kicked in $2,500 to the U. Wouldn't ever think of doing anything else, just venting. I really doan' give a crap about where anyone lives.

On every Saturday I will have my Griz flag posted outside my house, like always.

In my ideal world I live in North Dallas Mon-Thursday...Missoula Friday-Sun....you dont happen to have a private jet we can share do ya??? hahaha............That being said...I love living in the Dallas area, as others have said before the people are very similar to Montanans in values and kindness. I'm always surprised at how many people I run into down here that know and recognize the Griz logo I'm often wearing.

I'm working on it Badlands. I'm working on it. :thumb:

Let me know...I'll bring the liquor!

I could totally do Vegas...easy to travel to from basically anywhere.....only problem is that half the fan base wouldnt show up for game time due to being arrested the night before...

But damn could you imagine a huge griz fanbase in vegas for a weekend???? NUTHOUSE!

 

[TxGriz]

We do have a corporate jet, but it is reserved for U Tenn games. I can check into it, but I would say the outcome is unlikely.

 

[Bisonation]

im hearing the Sporting Kansas City is trying hard to get this fcs title game.
problem is they only hold 18,500 or so, and its even closer to NDSU, so ArrowHead would be better.

Vegas would be great, Dont want it back in Chattanooga, Tulane (New Orleans>) has a cool 30,000 seat stadium

Well hell. I've lived in both places and I find something to like about both of them. My move to TX has enabled me to substantially support UM in a way I never could living back there. I am known around the office and the neighborhood for my loyalty to Montana and have actually created a few new fans in the area. It's getting close to Dec 31 and time to re-up with my support. Maybe I should keep it designated to an institution down around this shit stain of an area.

Maybe you should...because someone who doesn't share the same opinion as you hurt your feelings and you are considering changing a donation to your school because of it, based on a message board. Makes a lot of sense. I'll say it again, Dallas sucks sorry thats my view and you have your view. Deal with it!

Again you're entitled to your view..the problem is just that you're view is wrong....numerous articles and writings by people that all they do is compare and contrast communities and cities around the globe would strongly disagree.

Its like a doctor saying that ebola is something you should be fearful of....but the real chief is like..."i aint worried about that shit"....OK...thats fine but for real it can kill you.

In your opinion its wrong, other people don't like Dallas this isn't a popularity contest, if everyone liked Dallas everyone would live in the same place. Stop getting offended because someone doesn't agree with you, this is bordering on pathetic at this point. I think Dallas sucks you like Dallas, thats totally cool. Agree to disagree and move on.

Im just saying......6.4 million people like Dallas....so theres that.

Before any Griz fans complain about the site of the championship game, how about lets get our team there first. If it is not a good venue, then complain all you want...

Who cares? This isn't a popularity contest, I think Dallas sucks 6.4 million people like it...cool whats your point? Again, I think Dallas sucks thats my opinion nothing more, this isn't a popularity contest its just one man's opinion I don't care if 100 million people disagree its one person's opinion. Again, deal with it not everyone agrees with you.

Seems like we have some scenery snobs among our midst. The DFW metroplex taken from a satellite at night occupies almost as much area as the outline of the state of Connecticut. Once when flying over the metroplex at night I felt the compulsion to time the distance on my wrist watch. In a jetliner at cruising altitude and cruising speed, I was over city lights for about 12 minutes. I'll bet they don't have any recruiting problems for an urban area of that size. The DFW area occupies about 30 counties and stretches for close to 100 miles latitudinally. I like cities and I like rural areas. I find things to admire in both of them.

The one thing I have always puzzled over is the "I live here" bigotry that makes shallow individuals feel superior to others, self conferring the power to look down on those who choose to live in some area where they do not live.

A few years ago I was hiking in rattlesnake. Ran into a guy and he asked me where I was from. At that time I was still in college in ND. I told him how awesome Missoula was and that it would be a good place to live. He laughed and said it sure is pretty, but you can't eat the scenery. He was in the process of moving to Beulah ND where he was getting a $30k increase in salary.

Both of you make completely valid points. I don't care where people live, whatever makes you happy I always say. I personally don't like Dallas/FW and I think the people are incredibly arrogant. Even the TX dude above braggin about money he makes etc. I was raised a bit different than that so I guess I have a tough time understanding why people do that. My family ranches and farms in NE Montana so anyone who knows anything knows they do just fine financially. I've lived all over the world and have seen a lot of stuff and there are things about pretty much every place that I like, shoot i really enjoy the hill country in Texas but DFW/Houston/East Texas no thanks. There really is no place like the wild west, in my opinion of course. So i will retract my statement about Texas as a whole and limited the "shithole" comments to DFW/Houston/East Texas. I DO NOT look down on people living there I just don't like it, good for you if you like it whatever makes you happy.

I had a friend, while attending college, who was from Glendive MT. He would always give me shit for being from ND and how Montana was so much better, BUT HE GREW UP IN FUCKING GLENDIVE!!!!!! Always laughed about that one.

Hey now! Cut that s*** off! I love Glendive! I have family there and lived there for the first three years of my life! There's nothing better than Glendive, Makoshika State Park, and the Beer Jug on Merrill Ave!
