Riley Wilson in the portal

[ElrodGrizzly]

Oh my god, we cannot be doing this again lmao

I'm going to be honest, that was the second time in this thread I have actually giggled out loud to myself at my desk.

 

[uofmman1122]

Well, I’m glad I didn’t play when I was at UM. I wasn’t very good so I could have set on the bench for a couple of years.

You and me both, brother lol

Maybe NOW the coaches will realize how much they sucked this year. No, denial is too powerful. This is only day four of the portal.

Overreact much.

 

[Dont Kick 2 Bergen]

Oh its not over yet, probably far from it.

 

[GrizProtocol]

Next year, we will all be hoping for this year's defense. 2025 is going to be a train wreck of epic proportions

 

[3-7-77]

Overreact much.

Well, lets see....Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Yep, four.

Not the part of the statement I was referencing.

 

[3-7-77]

I know.

I hear he's headed to North Carolina. Looking tp play for a coach with more enthusiastic press conferences.

 

[griznative24]

Well I think it means the dude is kinda wicked smart and could help facilitate figuring out how to create and best manage college athletics in the NIL era. I could be wrong.

He has a lot of other things to do as a president of a university

 

[mtgriz]

Do you have suggestions of a sustainable source of income that UM can tap to bankroll NIL on an annual basis?

Selling 16 oz. Budweisers for $10 a pop DURING the game.

Or maybe just wants coaching

Looks like Wilson has offers from 2 Texas FBS schools. Since he is from Texas and his next year is his last would it possible he wants to go back closer to home to finish his college career ? The reason for entering the portal.

Everyone else seems to have figured this out. We love our tailgates. They won’t go away just because people can’t go out at half.

 

[mtgriz]

Let em go out at halftime. But let em drink during the game inside also. Out of season athletes can go up and down the stairs, like at MLB games, selling beers and raking in tips.

Riley liked the coaches. See part of his goodbye tweet: "“Thankful for every minute spent, every person met, sand every play made while at Montana. I am forever grateful to Missoula, the University, Coach Hauck and Coach Cooper. Many will preach family values but few can deliver like Montana. The people of Missoula and the fans of the Griz accepted me like one of their own."

 

[goatcreekgriz]

I hate to see Wilson leave, but he has nothing left to prove at FCS level. Kind of reminds me of Samori Toure. I am grateful that both of them were standouts for UM. Best of luck to Riley. Godspeed.

 

[AZGrizFan]

Not sure this is true considering he didn't play this year.

He was their best player. And no, he didn’t play this year.

 

[CDAGRIZ]

So, we’re not doing the “quitter who wasn’t very good anyway” thing with this one? How do I know when to do that?
