Did you get your ass kicked in college by someone from NDSU? Give it rest, if you have any objectivity in your football prowess you should realize they are still the dominate force in the FCS and will continue to be so since JMU and SHSU are leaving. Griz and Cats need to step it up and fill the vacuum left and take them down. Friend of my from UM days pointed out that the Griz started their rise to dominance in the bsc only after Boise, Reno and Idaho moved up. Same thing here. What is with the blind hatred of the Bison about other then they have dominated for a decade. You look foolish when you constantly whine about them because they were mentioned “every second sentence” in an article about the brawl and the future of the fcs. Still really liked the article thought it was great how he called Wagriz the Mecca of the fcs.AZGrizFan said:Jesse said:So where was he out of line about NDSU? They have dominated for a decade and they are still the team to beat and they aren’t going anywhere. You remind me of the dweebs over on bobcatnation who were just shocked I say, shocked by Frank’s last question to Vigen about Junior Bergen after the brawl. I thought the article was spot on and really hyped up the Griz program even if he mentioned the bison every second sentence. Good job Sam and thanks for the recognition.

By his own admission this was his first trip to WaGriz which if you’re going to be an FCS reporter you should probably start your career the first year with trying to make it to the best venues and fan bases to actually get a feel for what FCS Football and it’s rivalries are all about...
Haven't you heard? "Modern" journalism considers objective impartiality to be passé ... old-fashioned, almost antediluvian. "New journalism" considers the story to be the most important part, with the "reporter" taking an active role and perhaps even being the center of story (i.e., his/her personal reactions to what he/she thinks is going on).

I’m not making excuses, just that the….tone(?) of the writing isn’t surprising to me.
Holy hell, are you saying his piece was “fake news”? That rat bastard writing an opinion piece and including his opinions about his first brawl of the wild experience and the FCS. Why are you all so sensitive about the shit that doesn’t matter? Griz dominated, end of story. Oh yeah NDSU is still a level above everyone else until they aren’t which we might have a chance to prove it. Until then quit complaining like the fellas over at bobcat nation who think colter is a complete hack because he graduated from UM and treats Bobby nice and Vigen bad.

What's wrong exactly with this article? He's right, UM & MSU aren't tier 1 programs over the last ten years at all. NDSU, Sam Houston, EWU, James Madison would be my picks based on semifinal appearances. MSU, SDSU, Weebs & UM are all fighting to get into the top tier. I like UM & MSU's progression & believe they'll both be there soon. It's too bad we're losing JM & SHS though. Hope both programs get to send them off with a big L.
get'em_griz said:Good write up overall, but if he truly wanted to compare the noise level, he needed to be at field level to do it. The noise on the field is much, much louder than it is up in the press box.
In the fargodome, it sounds the same everywhere because there’s a thing called a metal roof keeping the sound enclosed.
Actually, I have absolutely no problem with the article. In fact, I rather enjoyed it. I was simply reacting to the comment about "impartial" reporting (or lack thereof).

Like our 54-28 beatdown of BSU in 1995 on our way to the NC.Bear Spray said:CDAGRIZ said:I’d love to read his “tier 1” of FCS programs.

Your friend knows even less about football than you, a truly remarkable achievement.

True. Our first championship in 1995 was before Boise or Idaho moved up.
grizingatorland said:I'm not really a fan of Sam Herder but in this case he was correct. Neither UM or MSU are currently in the top tier of fcs teams. It's basically NDSU, Sam Houston and JMU. Not sure how anybody can argue that point. I expect the Griz to join NDSU as the two main powers in fcs within a season or two.

I think the fellas were butthurt because he mentioned them in our brawl article, it was our time not ndsu and because he’s a journalist from ndsu.
