Bear Spray said:I finally got a chance to listen to Colters podcast and could't agree with him more, well done sir. Colter's reporting on all things Cat/Griz is factual, informative, accurate, and entertaining. Keep up the great reporting Colter.
I wrote this back on page 13: [....For the record, this collective group of griz fans who claim to loathe the Cats & all things Cats are running a thread about said Cats under the premise that drinking and driving is a bad, bad thing - which is absolutely true - but the truth of the matter, as some have actually admitted to, is that you have an unhealthy dose of schadenfreude - and have fallen into the same pit of despair Cat fans suffered through those many, many years ago. You all have collectively become the fan base you so often, to this day, blast & despise! ] Uofmman1122 responded 'This isn't the own you think it is.' It wasn't intended as an own, it was intended as a mirror. Take a good look. Do you like making excuses for losses? Do you like looking for any reason to take down your rival? I have really good friends who are hardcore Griz fans. Good humans who I'd fall on a sword for. This thread is an embarrassment to them, Griz Nation, and not representative of most Griz fans. Stop drinking your own Cool Aid & sober up.
Here's some excerpts from Colter: [ "There's no benefit for Cruzado to say anything until it's handled through the courts....... Which means there's no benefit to ask................. It''s a completely invalid criticism........... Now we're calling some of you guys out. Fairly. It's not a sports story. ... ..that's an outrageous statement....that is coming again from one side ...guys I don't know if you realize how this makes you look, compared to how you used to look as a fan base 15 years ago. You would not have this reaction 15 years ago. You would be like, 'oh, little brother had some coaches get in trouble. What losers. Would Griz fans be freaking out if the Griz hadn't got their asses kicked in Bozeman last year? Probably not. One side has what you used to have, you feel like something needs to take them down...... the reasons there's procedures in place for this at Montana State is they already went through an incredibly high profile lawsuit for for what was deemed wrongful termination. These procedures have been in place for over 20 years. The idea that this is some massive story is, it's not.]
They went on to say: [The drinking culture that surrounds college football in Montana .....so many people who say this case isn't being reported on enough or that these people should be burned at the stake - look in the mirror, right? Like these stadiums sell out for, the number one reason the stadiums sell out is the excitement around college football. The number two reason is the partying that ensues, before, during and after. It is a drinking event. Most people are drinking at these events. If there was a dui quota system....just sit outside Wa Griz stadium....you could hand out dui's to, I don't know how many you could hand out ...A lot. A lot. A lot. Montanans drink a lot. Because it's so acceptable to do it at events that Montanan's like....] How many of you calling for heads to roll for dui's would support police road blocks after home games to check for drunk driving? How many would support getting rid of alcohol at home games? Is it really about DUI's, or is it petty jealousy?
They finished with: [something fundamentally has happened to the mindset of a lot of Griz people though, and there's this manifestation of this losers mentality. You saw it last year when they, when Montana lost at Sacramento State. That was a terrible call. The out of bound call was wrong and they should have replayed it and it should have been a call in the Griz favor. But, to say the the refs screwed the Griz out of a Big Sky Championship or whatever, like I always say, if a game comes down to one play, you already lost. ....because there's so many plays in a football game. There''s certainly one of big time consequence, but you know, if you score two more times, if you don't let Sac State cut your lead in the fourth quarter, get a stop, force a punt, block a punt whatever, there are different things that can factor into it. it's just weird that there's this losers mentality in some of the fans right now. Think back 15 years ago how obsessed with the Griz Cat people were. I don't think they are - for sure for sure! .... ] He's right, we were. We're not now. Not at all. Look at Bobcat Nation. They know this site's become a joke dominated by a handful of trolls. Look at how many threads you run on the Cats.
So you asked for Colter to respond and he told you you're a bunch of whiney bitches and are completely wrong. Spot on. When everyone else is wrong & you're the only one who's right, it's time to look in the mirror. Unbelievable how far you've fallen. Hope you find some humility.
Colter... You mad bro?
