Would be really disappointed if he went to another FCS school. Especially NDSU, who has also offered. I’d very much like to see him at UM

I hope it don’t. I definitely don’t agree with 3rds take on Bobby and the state of Griz football but at least eGriz is active. If 3rd and bush weren’t here, we’d have like 3 peaceful posts a day. What fun is that? I’m against it but you could always ignore them if you think it would be better if they were banned.

Oh, he wants me banned. He can't the heat when schooled, so he runs to Payton.

When does the “schooling” start? Because the only one getting repeated spanked on here is you.

Same. We are still after DE and LB too.

Same. We are still after DE and LB too.

Do we really need to bring in another LB? I think it's a pretty solid position group.

We are definitely solid at LB, but I will always take someone that improves the position room. Plus, our LB’s run like they’re possessed, so having depth helps our scheme.
