NDSU to MWC

New rumor by hoops....
Bobby retired because gris are moving to MW....
Who are the " gris," Mr. Shi__y Kitty 😺 🤔?
"Gris" is an early Nintendo Switch (NSW) video game with a weird, funky, Euro-alternative art style. I've never gotten the bubs' obsession (fetish?) with it. I'm surprised to hear Bobby is such a gamer. I'm a pretty avid gamer and have even developed some of my own indy games but I couldn't tell you what this new "MW" gaming platform is...maybe something from Microsoft...maybe it's converting it to text base play to be open with Word? If so, I can understand Bobby's outrage because that just sounds stupid....

Who are the " gris," Mr. Shi__y Kitty 😺 🤔? ...Is this more of that MSDUI " alternative spellin' for " loosers ? " ( " Grizzly" has two " z's" but no " s's, " but I guess the MSDUI alternative spelling is " grissly " : ( . )

members of the U. Of Montana tennis team started it wrote it in a snow bank or some stupid shit like that.... you got a problem with it take it to them..😂
 
I enjoy watching good mid majors. It was real fun watching Eck turn the lobos into a respectable program this season. I still follow App state. I am a fan of Wyoming, and lived in Laramie for all the Josh Allen years. San Diego state is fun, and UNLV has been a nice surprise these last few years. James Madison and Boise I enjoy watching. But FCS? I literally only care to watch like 3 programs, and one of those is now gone. It’s a pretty lame division. It already was, but now it’s downright terrible. Im fortunate to have grown up cheering for Alabama. My mother and aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents etc are all crimson tide alumni. Having a horse in that race is fun, but the Griz were always my team. My alma mater.

I understand your point of view, but just maybe things will continue to evolve with college football and college athletics in general? Strange times right now due to NIL and mid majors don’t seem that appealing with no playoffs and bowl games going the way of the dinosaur. We shall see what happens. Really sad if NDSU only moves for football. Definitely makes the FCS a much weaker division and it was already watered down. I am starting to worry about attendance figures at games in the future. If the competition isn’t good, fans may sit the games out. I wouldn’t want to be in Haslam’s shoes, nor the BOR’s. Neither school had the money to move up.
 
I mean, it's understandable why a Euro-styled game would appeal to a tennis kid from Sweden and that he would profess his drunken fandom but that still doesn't explain the bubs' weird obsession to stalk UM students' pics on social media...creepy Taco Dowler much?
 
What does "you're playing checkers, I'm playing chess" mean?


This popular idiom comes from the idea that checkers is a simple, straightforward game, while chess requires much more forethought and strategizing. If you're playing chess, not checkers regarding business or personal decisions, it means you're planning ahead and thinking about the endgame rather than short term goals.

Apparently, UM is playing checkers...

You don’t hear the fan bases of those programs clamoring for a return to the FCS. In fact, those fan bases have only grown since they have moved up.
Yes. I remember seeing that when attending an FBS Idaho game at the Kibbie dome some years ago. There were so few fans the gate ticket taker was about to let me bring my dog in.

This is akin to saying, "we don't have the money to take a higher paying job"
 
Hopefully this will be a wakeup call for the University, MSU and the Board of Regents to do what they can to move up to FBS. We need to bare minimum be preparing now to make the move in the 2030s once the MWC loses a few more schools to the PAC and other Conferences.
TV markets matter. Montana's weak.
