And yet you watched... you watched the Cats play in a Nationally televised game, and even though they were beaten, much like the Griz in the vast majority of their "hay-day" seasons, at least they were there leaving it on the field... And yet you watched... green with envy, jealous beyond belief with your only excitement that day when a 30 second ad that cost the UM 100k plus came on trying to highlight the 2nd biggest university in the state... :thumb:

I can see why Bubcats would have such a defeatists attitude toward the move-up topic like this loser. Can you imagine getting smashed by the same team to end your season three years in a row and each game being at least a 4 TD blowout? And each game getting worse than the prior one?uofmman1122 said:
After getting trucked by the buffaloes once again, it is clearly evident they are obviously not at that level yet, not ready for the big time, and really light-years away from moving up.
The best part is, after each year’s annual trucking, bubfat fans think the next year will be different. :lol: When in reality, the gap is widening, the cats were actually worse this year, and the only difference was the buffs took their foot off the gas

Conferences don’t make money on your ability to fill the stands. They make money on broadcast revenue. Montana isn’t exactly heavily populated.
OR… they accept you if they’re desperate… which was Boise State and Idaho’s ticket into the Big West, then into the WAC. The loss of both conferences means the Mountain West has to be plundered by a lot more than two schools to be desperate. (Things could have been interesting if Colorado State and Air Force had accepted an invitation to the American, alas…) Then there’s the matter of Sac State, a big enough underserved market with larger markets around it, and while the facilities are generally crap, their bigger problem would be getting Fresno State’s buy-in. But with Conference USA in trouble, the Mountain West doesn’t necessarily have to be desperate if 2 schools leave.
But if you want Conference USA, don’t expect a football-only invitation. That will cost more money than it’s worth (all the other sports). Good luck with that.

Dude, I’m not even convinced MS-poo was the second best team in MT. Probably third behind Western. cat/Griz was never close and wasn’t even competitive from the first play of the game.Butte5518 said:
Thus, the Cants were the worst FCS runner-up in history and the worst team to ever host a semi-final game. Fact!
Yet here you are to crow about it.
And you have the gall to call us arrogant?!?

What the hell is that jackass doing back here? Did someone order a pastel T-shirt with a floral pattern on it for their grandma?
And you got BTFO against us head to head. "2nd" in the nation and 2nd in the state. Congrats.Butte5518 said:
But again, conference titles have no correlation to move-up success.
And there aren't interesting, contentious threads on that site because the mods lock everything that's even remotely fun to talk about. "You guys are obsessed! There aren't any threads about the Griz on the Bobcat board!" you guys constantly say, meanwhile every time someone mentions the Griz on there, they immediately lock and delete the thread. :lol:

I couldn’t help it; I went to his website and I’m pretty sure he is too cheap to hire apparel models, so I bet some of the pics are of him.Ursa Major said:garizzalies said:Dude, I’m not even convinced MS-poo was the second best team in MT.

Wonder what his Bubfat buddies would think if they knew he was slinging boutique soaps including one called the happy hippie which is sold out of stock:
Normally, I’d add the link but I don’t want to push clicks on this site because of this dbag troll—even if it’s not the same guy. Why would bobcat fans purposely alienate well over half its customer base in the state? I don’t get it; this is like the 20th example of this crap business plan from one of them.

Interesting article, SDSU AD Justin Sell suggests a 70 scollie football league. Geographic challenges will always remain for UM, but would improve competition over current Big Sky.
Sell suggestion at the very end of the piece.

Thanks for the article RVF.
I like the idea of a 70 scholarship league. But I think it may be a difficult sell to many in the Group of Five. Leagues like the MAC would love it, but if, say, MWC teams don’t buy in, it’d still be a glorified FCS.
Chase Reynolds did that against MSU in '08 and when the defender thought he would retaliate, J.D. Quinn was right there to remind him of consequences of such a stupid reflex. Rob Ash whined all the next week to the press and the BSC about such nasty intimidation.fanofzoo said:
