This is honestly the 2nd time for me. The first time Saturday when I saw him go down because I hurt SO BAD for him. This time because I am SO PROUD of him and the way he is and has represented the Griz spirit, in spite of his circumstance.

With that said, I've never witnessed a player at any level handle this kind of diversity with more class than Reese has. I will forever be fan of his, on and off the field. I do hope this will lead him into a long enjoyable career in coaching, and would love to see him as a GRIZ coach for a long time.
Speaking of coaches, if the majority of Stitt recruits are as much class as Reese, doesn't that show GRIZ NATION the quality of player and people Stitt is bringing into the program? With all the BS that has happened for the program recently, shouldn't the quality of players, on and off the field, be heavily considered in determining Stitt's future?
Either way, Reese, thank you for being such a class act, and leader!!!!

They don't care about positive or moving stories about Griz Football players. Only gore and drama for that poop rag.
Along that line, I noticed this statement in the Helena IR sports section this morning in an article about Bobcats kicker Luke Daly. I quote
"Daly missed all of last season while serving a suspension for an off-field incident".....
IMHO, if that had been a Grizz player, it would have been mentioned in a much more descriptive and negative fashion than just "an off field incident" !!!!! :evil: :evil:

For certain. With that said it doesn't appear Daly is traveling with the team at all this weekend. Seems to be airing his grievances and displeasure with the coach on his open facebook account. #f***[*]
Nothing too dramatic but seems kind of childish to pout in public when you're still part of the team. Put on your big boy panties and get over it. How about winning your job back through hard work and perseverance? That would seem constructive to me.

If he's part of the same Daly family with which I'm familiar, I'll just say that that doesn't come as a shock...at all.signedbewildered said:stilwtrgrizz said:IdaGriz01 said:Theme: "Good news is no news."
