Now is a good time for Royce to make a statement

NorthEndZoneDan said:
that statement from RE, or more accurately, the non-statement is beyond irritating. This is a time that begs for leadership and not a vacuum bottle. I read this thread yesterday and was hoping that somebody had gotten it wrong, then I read the quote and thought to let it sit, after stewing on it, this deserves a response. There is another thread begging Brint to take action and that seems to be the best course. The vacuum bottle needs to be retired.
If old 'Royce has any hope of keeping his job he better cut the strings of the puppet masters. He is in a bind here. Remember, Paoli has been investigating everything for most of a year, and investigations always lead to the source. He has no choice but to allow JJ back. That would cut Pats strings. But then he still has Mr. O'day out there who has the same information as Paoli, and I don't think he is going to give up his pursuit of legal measures for any reason. Basically, I think Engstrom is screwed.

After listening to Jim O'Day's interview, he clearly should be President of the university instead of RE.
This was my thought all along but I don't know if there are certain credentials one has
to have to President. O'Day has demonstrated a lot of class through this whole thing and
I think that speaks volumes.
 
Very disappointed in RE's response, but not surprised. There is no real leadership at UM right now. The question is, how long will it take the powers that be to realize that?
 
Now if only word would get out about Engstroms desire and proposal to the regents to "suspend all football operations for one year", we would have even more ammo to get rid of his ass.

Yeah I honestly cant believe that it is not more widely known. I would think if anything could organize a good old fashioned witch hunt it would be this. I believe Jim O is doing his best to get the word of this out there without going to the press about it.

RE may be inept, but he is not completely stupid. He obviusly did not go to the regents on official minutues with the proposal. Think more of a behind the scenes "Hey Pat and Co., I think the best solution here is to suspend football for a year. What are your thoughts? Would this be possible, and how would we go about it?". Obviuosly this would never fly and the idea was shot down immediately by the regents. Although it is not on the official minutes it is know by those who are close to regents and the athletic dept. To me it just goes to show how out of tune with athletics RE really is.

So I guess we got his statement:

“I’m not really going to comment on that,” he said. “It went through the court of law. It was a very rigorous trial that was very difficult for everyone involved.

“None of us are in any position to second-guess the decision. We’ll just go forth from here based on what the court decided.”

Just read this on the Missoulian's website. What a complete douchebag. Seriously, until this guy is gone the U is going to really suffer. Anyone---and I mean ANYONE could do a better job than this tool.

Maybe we should suspend the pharmacy program for a year.

There are too many pharmacists and not enough jobs for them anyway!
 
Engstrom deserves NO RESPECT in any way shape or form for his handling of this ENTIRE UNIVERSITY OF MONTANA RAPE ALLEGATIONS.

Yes, I did bold the entire name of the the university as the alleged rapes were a campus wide issue and still are!

So many stupid people for the last year sat around soaking of Gwen Florios femi-nazi bullshit in the paper while Royce started scapegoating the Athletic department, and football in particular based almost entirely on the Post-Penn State mindset people had of college football.

The alleged gang rape Florio repeatedly quoted and in fact got some bullshit award for from Lee Enteprises went were? ah no were even after a 2nd investigation. Jesus even the Kangaroo court they use at UM to expel kids didnt even find them guilty. Thats setting the bar as low as possible on the suspected guilt btw.

Jordan Johnson is framed by some seriously deranged chick who rents a movie TEN TIMES in a row about a girl trying to make a name for herself at a college with athletes....the evidence was presented in court and she outright lied and manipulated and was caught. The jurors on TV didnt buy the line of bullshit for a second. One juror I saw said they sat in SILENCE for a few minutes... took a vote and EVERYONE of them called it as the BS it was.

So then we have Donaldson who did commit a crime and was punished to the FULLEST possible extent, as an example. Did Donaldson have a criminal record before UM? no. Was he accused of anything like that before he entered Um. NO...

So there is no pattern of rapist or thugs or anything else for Royce to justify his continued existence at UM. Royce is not righting the ship or creating the Harvard of the West as he so claims. He simply destroyed the UM athletic department and Football program in a short sighted attempt to protect himself.

And yes Gwen you are a femi-nazi IMO. One who has no concern for the community only yourself and your personal career.

If either Gwen or Royce care to call me please feel free. I woud love to tell you in person. And Royce I see you often at the Risho house I just cant tell you what a piece of shit you are at my best friends fathers house.

MSU was really fortunate to get the little Puerto Rican lady as President. She has really lit a fire in support of Bobcat Athletics and is a solid leader. I really feel for the Griz fans. There seems to be an Obama like attitiude by your leadership against success. Yes you had had a few bad apples like every other school in the country. But 98% or 99% of the student atheltes are great kids. I hope it works out for you guys. The next few months will tell the story!

OK. Seriously - this is hilarious. Not appropriate by any means, but hilarious.
