The Holsinger/Haslam Massacre

Those Shannon LG supporters left the program a year ago. If they were financial supporters before she was terminated, they stopped at that point, and they wont be in the future.
Can someone please explain how all of these players leaving that couldn’t contribute to a bad team, and were only given one D-1 offer out of HS is a big deal? Perhaps they shouldn’t have been at this level in the first place? And would you rather have Holsinger keep the players for a year knowing he has no intention of playing them just to move them on next summer?

Wouldn't be a mindblower if Holsigner cleared the end of his bench, so that he could replace them, on the bench, with the current Lady Griz. And bring in a whole bunch of better players to take their minutes?? :lol:

Whether it is unprecedented as far as you know has nothing to do with whether it is a massacre. And you know it. For someone who consistently plays the Native American card, this terminology is tone deaf, to put it charitably.
It appears things may not have been handled in the best manner. However, I attended UM, obtained a degree there, and will continue to support the team (just like I did during the Stitt clown show). You can do whatever you want, but calling it massacre is total horseshit.
I’m out.

Most of the people you talk to must not post much to this forum because you seem the only poster calling this an "unprecedented massacre". Most other supporters and posters are probably a little surprised, but also a little excited, thinking we've got a new coach who understands what it will take to return this program to the top of the conference and into the NCAA tournament.
Why don't you and the rest of your "historical" Lady Griz boosters go bitch and moan with each other at the Senior Citizen Center? Or Fort Missoula "Historical" Museum?

Yup, I agree. I think the new coach will bring in some good players, but that doesn't assure things will be good in LG nation. How will the remaining players react? How will the LG fans and former players who liked Shannon (and her daughters) react. How about the ones loyal to Petrino? How about various MT high school players, their parents, and some MT coaches? How about fans like myself, who believes that sport, especially at UM, should be better than slash and burn, and cut via zoom? (Who's going to support the dance team?). I've told Krista Redpath what I think (and have known her for decades). I've weighed in with Bodnar. I will be curious to see how loyal LG fans warm up to the new LG.
Which of you are weighing in with Bodnar and Haslam, saying great job on cutting 6 players via zoom. That's what we're all about here at UM. Who cares that Selvig gave many women a chance, including many Native Americans, and those women responded and became very good players. Are you glad that the House that Rob Built is falling by the wayside.

Massacres are not a Native American thing. Massacres are international and involves all types of people and races. I certainly didn't choose the word because there was a Native American on the team. I can see by your comments that you are ignorant and probably borderline racist,. I have seen that in your posts over the years.

Actually she did not play in CDA, and I live within 10 blocks of where she did play at Mead. So you quit being a pompous dick.

She wasn't in Idaho you moron.
From a Missoulian article last Nov:
"The difference from last year's practices is we play a lot more," said junior forward Abby Anderson, one of three returning starters along with guards Sophia Stiles and Madi Schoening. "We're doing little competitions all the time, and it's building everyone's competitive side up.
"Then at the end, when we are scrimmaging, it gets scrappy and words are exchanged. That's different for us, but I like it. We're learning to be a lot more gritty. We're going to need grit and sass to make up for the players we lost."
"All of our five true freshmen are super competitive and they don't back down at all," Anderson said of a group that includes Montana natives Willa Albrecht, Kyndall Keller, Joelnell Momberg and Karsen Murphy and Portland's Bria Dixson.
"They're super vocal. It's a different freshman group than I've ever seen. They're confident. I think that's really cool."

The irony of you calling literally anyone a "dick" is outright hilarious. You are by pretty much every eGrizzer's standards the King Kong of dickheads in entire the history of this board. You come on here daily to argue for sport with strangers simply because you enjoy the fall sense of superiority it gives you.
I wonder what would happen to your mental health if this board was somehow taken away from you.

It is just funny that you call me a liar about seeing her play, yet you didn't even know where she was playing until I corrected you. You are a clueless twit and are just complaining to complain. Such a moron.

I found this funny. I have seen no truth in a single post of yours in this entire thread. Just conjecture that pretty much every single other poster has disagreed with you on. You’re assuming that the cut girls are D1 material. Besides UM offering them, what other D1 schools offered and where are the current D1 schools offering these girls now that they’re free to go wherever they want?
