What we know now...

[Catsrback76]

Is that Bobby has NOT been hired, the timeline was NOT today, Kent Haslam is STILL interviewing candidates, and everyone's prognostications were wrong.

Sooooooo, in the spirit of "take a deep breath"...raise a glass to the coming announcement, enjoy the process, and stop eating your young!

And Cat trolls still exist

Catsrback, I think you've always been a pretty cool dude on here, and I know you are far from Papa G. But can I ask why you care so much? And please, be honest, and don't use you're a taxpayer, or this is an FCS forum. I actually would like to hear a legit reason why a Cat fan cares THIS MUCH. No Cat-Griz smack, no nothing, just wondering. I come in peace.

Legitimate question: So, outside of the fact that we all get a heap load of fun out of our rivalry, and love the back and forth, the give and take... I think in this case there is a tremendous amount that hangs in the balance for UM.

This is a season in the history of the school that has seen some tumultuous times, some levelling off, and now a decline that is quite serious for the school in terms of enrolment. I truly believe that the athletic program is the front door of the uni for the future clients of the school. That said, it is not the house...the programs and educational piece must carry the day. However, who is the doorman, the first person that everyone sees, meets, and or gets it's first read off?

It isn't KH, or likely the new President, it often is the athletic coaches etc...! I am intrigued by the Bobby H potential hire because it harkens back to a day, yes when the team won some games ( a lot ), but at what price? It is arguable that that period laid the foundation for the season of unrest just gone through. Who knows, maybe Bobby H is exactly the person you want greeting the future at the door of the uni...particularly the athletes, but I would certainly look ALL the candidates over and decide what the total package brings to the table regarding UM and it's future.

So, there you have it. There's my true interest. BTW: I really don't hate UM...I've paid $$$$$ for my daughter to spend several years there...but I do love the rivalry. :thumb:

I like what you said for it was my youngest daughter who decided to break away from three generations of Bobcats and chase her dream of becoming a "media" type at what at one time was one of the finest journalism schools in the U.S. and break away from family, traditions and dedicated military service and wind up in Missoula that made me look in the mirror and realize we need this rivalry intact.

The Hauck's personify exactly what the Everly Brothers felt on the side of the road when they recorded that song about Sweet Grass County Montana. To be blunt, I can't stand the trending of any of the schools in the Montana University System. But, the self-exiled (and pathetically failed) prodigal son ought to return home and somehow revive the passion (read that hate) between two schools that unfortunately are more alike than they are different just because he is Montana. He understands. Haslamb doesn't. This isn't the place for him.

Fu..ck, MSU no longer realizes they are a Land Grant University! What do we have in common with Texas A & M or Virginia Tech? Our Corps of Cadets have to fire a charge one after a touchdown now!
Bring back the rivalry and after the game, all of us can go lift a Cold Smoke together.

"I just try and process those and rely on the people I trust and will give good, sound advice and that's really where we're at right now in the process."

Haslam also declined to give a specific update as to where Montana is in the search process.

"We're still in that search process and so we're going to continue to search and to talk and to continue with different folks. The search is progressing and I want to make sure we're being thorough."

Haslam added: "The interview process is ongoing. ...

You're right, I probably don't! :roll:

That's the entertaining part about this process: how pissed off many people are that they don't know every little detail of what is (or isn't) happening.
