Protected Rivals

[hm.grwn.grizfan]

I heard someone -- Riley perhaps? -- say that every school put UM down as their first or second "rival". Why? Because we're a cash cow for this POS conference and each program knows we travel well, and they can triple their ticket cost when Montana comes to town.

We have absolutely no business being in this conference

I hate it. So sick of the big sky. So sick of empty ass stadiums on away games wher the Griz play teams with little to no fan or institutional support. How do we grow as a program in this freaking conference?

And yet if Central Washington wanted to join the Big Sky tomorrow, UM would enthusiastically accept a box of Aplets and Cotlets as membership dues.

Good thing Libetry Orchard was bought out before it went down or the folks of Cashmere would be screwed..

The Big Sky just needs to kick a few schools to the curb and go back to being nine teams who play each other every year. That would solve all this protected rivals baloney.
