Wow, this is hilarious stuff Griz fans.
CDA might be related to griz1952 with his jealousy / hatred of NDSU .
NDSU , especially the players have backed up every single word that NDSU fans have smacked.
That is a fact.
Yes espn wanted NDSU in the "inaugural" Fcs opening night game, but Katy perry concert was already set months in advance so espn told them they'd be I bit year 2. So yes you can thank NDSU for being there. Also, thank NDSU for not taking a FBS game this year, that's another reason this game was moved.
1. I don't hate the Thunder Buffs. Far from it. It wouldn't be as fun if Buff fans didn't post on eGriz so much.
2. The last paragraph kind of sums up the whole thing, doesn't it?
Sorry for our handicapped fan base. I was going to bite my tongue until I saw the last post from Bisonation.
The reason NDSU passed on the FCS Kickoff game last year was because Klieman didn't want to open up his first season as head coach with a home game against Montana and then at Iowa State. They (Klieman and Gene Taylor) wanted to play their guarantee game and then have a few "tune-up" games before we played Montana. One of which (Weber St) didn't go exactly as planned! Great game played by Weber State.
That is how much respect our Athletic Department, Athletic Director and Head Coach has for the Montana Football program. They passed on a Prime Time, FCS Showcase Game because they didn't feel they would be ready to play. ESPN also told them that if they passed, they would get to be showcased in 2015 because the Griz/Bison game was already scheduled for the first week of the season. Making it easier to move vs moving a game from the 3rd week in September to the end of August.
To think NDSU fans actually think the game wasn't played/aired on ESPN because of a concert is embarrassing.
These are the same fans that have never been to a Team Maker luncheon, aren't Team Makers, or donated $50 to Team Makers thinking they would get season tickets. We like to call them "new fans". Which every fan base has. However they are the most uninformed, and unfortunately, they are the most vocal on the internet.
Sorry about that, but I literally had to create an account on eGriz just to clear that up, I'll probably never post again. I'm looking forward to the roadie to Missoula more than I was with the last trip to Frisco!
