Looks like HHH can't figure out something new to post. This discussion has been going on for a year. HHH really needs to get out of the basement and get yourself a life.

Or the "going independent" is new info that only came out recently. I know, things move fast and you can't keep up. Seems your only life is having a giant crush on me and the flirting is getting embarrassing.

I see it as a gamble, but also a decision of courage unlike the UM position of fear and complacency.

If you’re suggesting that UM should consider being an FBS Independent, I’m telling you right now that would be an all time stupid decision. We will bleed through cash at an unreal level, and that’s not exactly a good student athlete experience either. There’s a reason that nobody besides Notre Dame can make it as an IND. it would be career suicide for Haslam and Bodnar if they actually did that.

I'm assuming the allocated on this table means state/student fee athletic department funding. Sac is high on the list nationally. Looks like 85% of the budget. Curious how much more students would be willing to cough up. First time I've ever looked at these numbers, pretty stark reality of why the G5 can't compete. Or maybe I'm reading it wrong, would welcome any info/correction from those more savvy on the subject.

I don’t disagree with your point of being independent. They are making a bold decision to elevate to FBS and I believe they likely have a plan to join a conference in short order. On the other hand, UM is probably going to be the last school in FCS before the lights go out. I understand it’s the money issue, but I believe it’s more than that. In my view, the leadership and fans of the Griz are simply satisfied with mediocrity year after year after year.

I am not going to discuss much here. Spanky2, a question for you, have you requested a personal in person sit down with Haslam or Bodner or both? If not please do. They are open and you can then raise your discussion level immensely on here with accurate information instead of uninformed opinions and rumors.

I don't find there to be any mediocre about UM football or UM athletes nor their leadership and fans. I understand that some fans want football to be FBS, but not going to FBS has nothing to do with mediocrity or liking mediocrity, in my view.

Triwest, I would be interested in meeting with them as you suggest. However, at the moment I’m relegated to non mobile status.

I know you enjoy watching the Griz play FCS teams . So do I. I would watch them if they played Rocky. I would love to watch them play Wyoming and Utah State in our stadium rather than Northern Colorado and Eastern Washington.
