No sports in Washington.

We don't have to look very far.

politics again? you are a professional hypocrite.

You the balanced one - a primary contributor to a 119 page thread with not a sign of Griz Football and the FCS. Nothing but politics, but you call out a 3 week old 7 word post that mentions no names. Who is the professional hypocrite?

Perhaps I’m not posting anything regarding GRIZ athletics because there currently isn’t any GRIZ athletics.

But our conference still sucks shit. And really, the only poster I complain about is you.

What is complaining going to solve?

Hopefully change, which I know just sitting back and taking the shit the bsc constantly force feeds us will not.

You think complaining on a message board will help? Have you ever thought of withholding your money until they make a change and move up? Maybe switch allegiances to a MWC team? I know CSU in Fort Collins needs all the fans they can get; they only drew 12,000 for the BSU game last Fall. This after they spent $$$$ on a brand new shiny stadium.

Surely NoCo (as opposed to LoDo and home to another Montana icon, Hayter's...and see what I just did there! Greeley ought to secede and become part of fucking Nebraska!) I'm really tired of reading all these out-of-state assholes knocking Butte America's greatest like Sonny Lubick Field! There is not a thing wrong with Colorado State that shutting down that armpit school in Greeley wouldn't help! Jealous asshole! Colorado wasting all that money on Greeley that could go to Golden, Boulder, and Fort Collins.

I think pointing out the shortcomings of the conference in any format is a positive, particularly since some are just casual observers and not necessarily up to speed on the issues. That said, you can rest assured posting on eGRIZ is not my sole method of highlighting all that is shitty about the bsc.

And why TF would I ever consider withholding money from MONTANA??! MONTANA is the only good thing in or about the bsc. But no, I don't expect I'll be spending $46.99 on the bsc website to buy a sweatshirt if that's what you're asking.

So? I'm part Indian. Born in Glasgow, Montana so you ought to have a slight clue as to which tribe. Fugging Coors-Miller sold out to the Canucks...the only macro-brew left that's a U.S. company is PBR and that's a Cali company...

And since you know so much about Colorado in general and Greeley specifically, what are your thoughts about shutting down the Greeley campus and using that money being wasted there on their real universities?

Check your pm’s so as not to derail the thread any further.

A common tactic by American citizens is to withhold money to an organization that does something they disagree with. If you go back and look at your posts you are clearly passionate about this topic. An angry letter to the a.d. or university president might not be enough?

Siiiigh.

I know I'm going to regret this but....

It's not MONTANA's fault the bsc sucks shit!!! Why would I withhold money from the GRIZ?? They don't suck; the bsc sucks!! This really isn't a difficult concept.

So what do you propose Montana do? Move up? Leave the conference? I don’t think other schools are going to leave anytime soon, but there’s always a chance.

Sir, I believe you are in denial. I've shared links from Washington and California reference their university system's financial condition. This is one of your state's flagship institutions latest bit of relevant information:

https://www.denverpost.com/2020/06/11/cu-boulder-cuts-pay-for-employees-earning-more-than-60k/

I believe you are making an invalid assumption by assuming all those schools will continue to exist when this pandemic is over. Methinks many, many college professors will gladly enter the public education sector. In fact, I have former colleagues and children who are making that transition this summer. Being able to say "I'm a professor" even teaching pharmacy classes isn't what it used to be...

Yes. MONTANA absolutely SHOULD become an FBS program. But until that's possible, I pray that the bsc does at least one thing right or well over the next five years. Hence my actions to call out the bsc when they suck (which further explains why there are a lot of such posts).

If I were a Montana fan I would probably agree with you. It seems though you are fixated on the topic, which makes it seem like you are bitter person. I don't think you are though. The next time the Griz are in Greeley, I will buy you some beers or whatever your choice is.

We'll be there in November if the game still occurs. Over those beers, maybe you can update us on the Weld County secession.

Sounds good, but I don’t live in Weld County, so I wouldn’t have any idea about their politics.

Thanks for the offer, BSB, but no need, as I'd be buying your beers! arty:

All three of those governors said they prefer college sports not to come back this year. You get what you vote for.

Are you even capable of making a non-political post?

Mods (if there even is such a thing on this board anymore), split off these political posts from the nutjobs and place them where they belong, while the adults in the room continue to have a civil conversation.

Seems like he stated a fact ! Would you be less annoyed if they were the opposite political affiliation or better yet saying I told you so .
You just made it more of a political statement than he did as far as I see it .
Cas lm down. I thought the citizens of Chaz were supposed to be chill ????

No, he stated a political opinion.

I wouldn't be less annoyed if they were from the idontgiveashit party. This is a sports board, and 97% of us don't want to read posts from the nut jobs on either end of the political spectrum.

Pretty sure this is a fact "All three of those governors said they prefer college sports not to come back this year. "
And " you get what you vote for " is a statement not an opinion.
Now if he said " I believe you get what you vote for " that would be considered an opinion.
