Other than Tru.. Who from UM has had his opportunity and made the most of it? Dave D was the Man, and a Montana Boy, but didn't do his magic in NFL? All the rest of the Montana boys have been great, but not on that level?? Casey Fitszmons from Chester never even got a sniff from Um or MSU, but Carroll made him a Pentioned Nfl player? Enough of the Montana vs Out of state crap. You need both to win, and you are close to making this a race based issue, which the UM is not. My God really?? Tru is our most productive NFL player, show some respect?
This post doesn't even make sense
Keena does seem to to be somewhat "all over the board" and he does ramble a bit. But I think the gist of his post makes some sense. Tru does appear to be on his way to being the most productive Griz NFL'er. Many of the Homegrown Griz players that made it to the NFL have been "fringe" players.The argument that Homegrown players are better than out of state players is just an emotional issue for some Griz fans and is certainly not
fact based. In addition, and I'm not saying that I agree, race has been mentioned a few times on egriz as a factor for some fans holding on to that homegrown vs out of state player point of view. So in his own peculiar way, Keena makes some interesting points IMO.
