Scott Gurnsy on bobcat players behavior after the game...
- Thread starter Brother Bear
- Start date
For Saccat and his brethren,
Do you support the behavior, or the more extreme behavior, of some of the Cats after the last Griz game?
If so, do you find that the behavior is what you want Cat football, and college football in MT, to known for?
In the athletic codes of conduct, there is language that essentially requires acceptable or good behavior.
Here's the first line of the MSU code of conduct for students:
"Montana State University expects students to maintain acceptable standards of behavior on campus and in the community"
From the UM Athletic Code: "Sportsmanship
On and off the field of competition our staff, athletes and fans will respect the sport, themselves and others. "
More from UM policy:
"That being said, participation in intercollegiate athletics at
the University of Montana is a privilege that carries responsibilities. Because of the public nature of competition, you are more visible to the community than your non-athlete peers.
Through your participation on an athletic team, you become a representative
of the University of Montana and Intercollegiate Athletics. It is expected, therefore, that you will conduct yourself in a manner that brings pride to your team, the department, the campus, and the community. In general, the University expects you to train and
strive for athletic excellence, to demonstrate academic honesty and integrity, to respect your fellow students and athletes, and to conduct yourself as a responsible citizen."

Wait! Pr, you have on multiple occasions vehemently posted you believe that players shouldn’t be held to a higher standard than the average student. Why the apparent sudden change in heart??

My view hasn't nothing to do with holding athletes to higher standards than other students off the field. It has everything to do with with respecting the game generally .
So, nothing has changed. I still believe that it is odd that so much emphasis is put on athletic behavior off the field. However, I also know what reality is in this day and age, including in Missoula and Mt.
That being said, I would have the same view on the recent Cat behavior and any similar behavior by the Griz or any team regarding of codes of conduct or expectation in the community for athletic behavior. I believe that the recent Cat behavior disrespects the game of football, the school and the state. I am not trying to hold the Cats or Griz to any higher level of behavior. I want them to respect the game.
My family had opportunity to watch our Air Force nephew play against Navy, at Air Force, and against Army at West Point. Those teams respect the game and their schools. I loved how the winning team went with the losing team to the stand before the losing team's band and fans as the band played the alma mater. Then, both teams went to the winning team's band and listened to the winning team's alma mater.

I did not. And I didn’t support the cat’s behavior. And I don’t support it when GRIZ players do it.

Too many Griz fans on this board with entitlement and drama queen issues. And yes I played the game. Get over your pussy selves to whom it applies. I will be a Montana fan this coming weekend although not expecting a positive outcome.

He's right. So how do you feel about Hauck's comments and actions towards the Bobcats? Like refusing to call us Montana State because we don't deserve to have "Montana" in our name. Saying he wished there were five quarters so he could kick our asses some more. Making the team stay in Livingston so they didn't spent the $$ in Bozeman. Saying he was going to kick the Cat's asses and then smoke a cigar on our 50 yard line? There are many many others.

I'm sure I'm not alone among Cat fans in saying that I don't support this behavior either. I don't care what the jersey color is. The only reason any of us are on here defending our kids is to point out the massive hypocrisy in some of the fans on here. I personally want to see FTG-FTC DIE A QUICK DEATH. It's not really that clever or imaginative. It's just vulgar..
BTW, POOOR GRIZZLIES!!

Hey, I have no problem with any of that! I absolutely love the rivalry and Bobby is good for it because he hates the Cats so much! Granted, I can't see Choate ever making comments like Bobby has made in the past but he definitely understands the rivalry and knows how important it is to win that game. I also have no problem with players dancing around and celebrating the win, flipping off the crowd, parading the Divide trophy around, whatever. Sure it's kind of immature but these are college kids having a good time and blowing off steam after putting their blood and guts, sweat, and tears into this game. IMO teams cross the line from time to time and they need to be held accountable for that. For example the NAU player that literally took a real axe to our new turf in Bozeman. That's a bit overboard IMO and they did have to pay us for it. :evil: :evil:

That's great. I like what Hauck does and how it gets into the heads of people like you.
Dehumanizing? Now that is pretty funny. You guys sound like democrats. Bobby dehumanizes us Cats. This makes our players, or some of them, misbehave after games when we win. It's Bobby's fault, not ours or our players. Jeez, take some responsibility.

X 1,000. I agree, class on both sides has been gone for a long time now. I miss the good old days when you knocked them down, helped them up and lined up and did it again. Respect!!
