Why doesn't Idaho play us anymore? why would mid major I-A teams never consider scheduling us? It's because they don't want to give us a check to whoop their ass.
To anyone that says we wouldn't be a middle of the pack WAC team off the bat is underestimating the Griz and overestimating these I-A schools. The talent level between us and the WAC is not far off. Give us 20 more scholarship athletes and we'd be even better yet.
and if you would seriously quit coming to games if the Griz lost 5 or 6 games then you are a clown and don't give a shit about quality football. Let's just keep playing Fort Lewis with their 9 scholarships and we can win each game by 56 and pretend we're the best football team in the country...or at least Missoula.
TF,
I was going when it was in Dornblaser, were you? If you think some of these fans will keep coming when the Griz go 5-5, think again. Calling them names won't fill seats or pay any of the bills. The fact is, there are a ton of these people there that are only going because it is a winning program and it is cool. Beating Idaho is no biggie, we already can do that.
I know we can already beat Idaho. That's what I'm saying. We can also beat other WAC schools right now, and when we get 20 more scholarships we will be that much better.
Missoula isn't your average fairweather football town where people will attend a game if the team is good. Missoula is a college football town. That's what people do in the fall in Missoula is college football. People love the atmosphere. Kids want to come see skydivers and monte ride motorcycles and helicoptors. People come to root on the Griz whether they are undefeated or not. I think last season broke records for attendance and that says a lot. If you think Missoula or WGS will become a ghost town on saturday afternoons if we aren't beating poor D-II's to death, than you are wrong.
Missoula doesn't have fairweather fans? Are you serious? You might want to rewrite the history books before someone checks them. I don't know how many years you have been going and I don't mean any disrespect TF, but Griz football has not always been the phenomenom it is now. Basketball was KING for many years, you had to get to the gym 5 hours early to get a seat as a student. The the Griz started losing and guess what, fans quit going. Trust me, Griz fans, especially the new and the young ones have no idea how fickle fans can be. go ahead and say they are idiots, stupid, dumbasses, whatver the name du jour is, that won't put them in the seats if they don't like the product on the field.
I am going to say it again, what about msu? Not one person has answered the question, I wonder why?
