As much air as HHH and Jack put out and the bubble should be back up in no time.Im really disappointed in Wahlberg. Calls himself a hard-core fan. Pffft, whatever. I expected him to be at the Hindenburg at 5:30 this morning with his hand pump, fixing this blight. Bet he was planning his golf outing instead.

You could ask the what if when anything happens. Like I have said multiple times, it is unfortunate, but the decision for a bubble is not inherently unsafe or an imprudent financial decision.Well this bubble isn’t safe. From pictures it collapsed, still haven’t answers the question what if a team was in there.
God I can’t wait for us to actually start playing Football so we can stop talking about all the crazy shit we’ve seen here this offseason.

Once again, the decision for a bubble wasn't an imprudent financial decision. You can play what if all day, but based on financial outlook, timeline, and benefit to the student-athletes, there was nothing poor about the decision.As much air as HHH and Jack put out and the bubble should be back up in no time.

Why aren’t the Washington’s giving any more money.Washington's aren't currently doling out cash and it would seem the fanbase wasn't coughing up the bag either. There is nothing inherently wrong with bubbles, and this one being a lemon will work itself out one way or another. On the record, I would find it great to have a permanent structure, but currently UM isn't in the financial position and this isn't only an issue within the athletic department. Did you donate?

But a billionaire non-the-less. UM doesn't have the finances and will struggle to meet the expectations of many that don't understand.LMFAO….Gary Tharaldson was from Valley City, grew up with nothing and got a PE degree and was a school teacher. Invested in a hotel and grew it from there. Truly self made billionaire.
Not related to oil money at all….and yes…an NAIA will have a far superior practice facility compared to UM.
UM is falling behind….it is going to really be evident here in the next couple of years when they are still in the FCS and MSU has moved on.

If UM doesn't have the finances that an NAIA school does, we really need to cut it out with the "little brother" jabs at MSU, because this is frankly an embarrassmentBut a billionaire non-the-less.

Exactly the point of many fans, the AD Dept has failed to expand the donor base for years and has relied on 1 donor.Because Denny is tired of being the guy they turn to every time.

UM donor base lags behind MSU. UM doesn't lag behind that NAIA school, but also doesn't have a single billionaire donor that wants to foot the bill for a practice facility.If UM doesn't have the finances that an NAIA school does, we really need to cut it out with the "little brother" jabs at MSU, because this is frankly an embarrassment

Actually, and people will disagree, but UM fans aren't the best donors. For as much as you believe it is a failure of the AD, it is also a failure of the donors. Actions of the AD aren't the only reason fundraising for the practice facility lagged.Exactly the point of many fans, the AD Dept has failed to expand the donor base for years and has relied on 1 donor.

They aren’t little brother. UM fans are living in the past. MSU is soon to be twice the enrollment of UM , has deeper donor pockets and all the momentum.If UM doesn't have the finances that an NAIA school does, we really need to cut it out with the "little brother" jabs at MSU, because this is frankly an embarrassment
The soon to be announced stadium renovation is going to be a game changer.

Problem that is going to perpetuate into the future. MSU has programs built for the future and heavy in STEM. Those are the fields that will continue to produce graduates who can afford to donate.Actually, and people will disagree, but UM fans aren't the best donors.

I mean he is also in his 90s. Is he even like in tune much with UM in his old age? Have heard the boys wanna start getting more involved.Because Denny is tired of being the guy they turn to every time.

I have heard the same, but Denny still has pull with how money is donated.I mean he is also in his 90s. Is he even like in tune much with UM in his old age? Have heard the boys wanna start getting more involved.
UM has done a shit job of that. Ever seen the pictures of the cats bringing the Football team up to the Yellowstone Club? The Griz need to be getting up to Whitefish/Flathead and down into the Bitterroot valley. There’s a lot of wealth all along Highway 93. Gotta make a more aggressive push to tap into the wealth across Western MT.They aren’t little brother. UM fans are living in the past.
