Montana In Championship

yeah, it's kind of weird like that. even though both montana teams have so much attendance and are so big in montana, no one outside of montana and especially outside the Big Sky cares too much. Everytime I have to explain to someone who doesn't know much about the Big Sky that Montana and Montana State are in the conference, I hear a lot of crap about how lame the Big Sky must be.

True the montanas may have big football programs but that doesn't change people's perception about how lame of schools they are.

not so much we left the site. as that the fcs season was over. we moved on to recuiting and your site doesnt hold much when it come to that so we stay put on a board that has good info. :shock:


Uh, its called basketball season...screw recruiting.

Thats why you guys come in and are good for a season or two and then your gone again..... Go look at our board. our football section is still booming. Thats why we are the best fans in FCS and your not. Thats why griz nation is just that griz NATION.

by the way you dont get to say weber nation or wildcat nation.......first you have to get 5k to your football games.

It sounds to me like your the most insecure FCS fans in the nation. I've been on that sausage party board that you call griz nation and its stupid, every thread is about the same thing "Why we're to good to be in the Big Sky". Get over yourselves and come to grips with reality, no one really cares about Montana.

really even the threads that are new recuits....or even other teams new recruits. WE DO OUR HOMEWORK. WE KNOW TEAMS BEFORE THE YEARS STARTS. we have other teams sched. WE talk about football all around the nation. we talk about App. st recruit class. we talk about how our players trend from state to state. what 40's they run. we watch their highschool videos. Its not us saying we are too good for the BSC. however i think you guys are the hidding ones. o we lost time for basketball.... ha ha ha we have an active bball section and still talk about good football.

Isnt that what Mcbride said, mostly because UM fans get high on themselves about "big crowds" 25, 000 yeah thats sure alot, to a Montana fans, but to someone like McBride who has coached in stadiums that hold 60,000+ 25k is PATHETIC. all montana fans need to know that NO ONE OUTSIDE OF BROKEBACK MONTANA GIVES A RATS REAR END ABOUT THE GRISSLYS

we arent loud at all is that why you guys have false starts??? is that why coaches from big schools have said we are one of the loudest around. is that why ESPN says this is the most electric and hostile stadium in 1-aa. i mean HELLO....now saying we give our team an AMAZING advantage. but we put our team in the best atmosphere week in and week out. your 8K fans cant say that

Weber state doesnt have too good of a rep. when it comes to football. what i hear the NCAA calling......AGAIN!!!!! o your player jailed after the season is over??? even though the act happened mid season??? 8 k is not impressing ppl. and this is the first year you have really shown up in forever. So once again. who is the lame part of the BSC???/ its not the team that has the most consecutive playoff app. or the most bigsky championships. ....NOT TO MENTION IN A ROW!!!

There is the key words, in the 1-aa, we arent talking about Weber's pathetic crowds, we are talking about Mcbride when he coached at the U of Utah, when he played in atmospheres of 60,000 or more. A Montana reporter comes up to him and says do you think that the large crowd had anything to do with your teams loss today? and Mcbride simply said "Get Over Yourselves" Weber had 1 false start that day.

Good for UM to bring in the fans, but like mentioned before, NO ONE REALLY CARES.

Oh, well that would explain why UM had 3 more false starts than Weber. Look we know that UM gets a lot of fans to the games. And who can blame them they have a good tradition. Right now Weber's coaches and players are trying to build a good program unfortunately it's going to take more than 1 Conf. Championship to do that. But UM fans need to keep in mind that everyone else in the Big Sky has to explain people who you are, NO BODY CARES WHO YOU ARE, you need to repeat that every morning. Trust me, as much as Bobby would like to think that Big Sky schools recruit on the fact that they'll have a chance to play against Montana in WA. Griz is completely ridiculous. Just please do everyone else a favor and get over yourselves.
 
Why are we talking about UM football in February...who cares? Bball season is what matters from Dec-Mar.

Let UM talk about the 40 times of Appy St...Weber could care less. The sad part is UM is very good at hoop this year and he could care less.

co- championship.....and actually that is why ppl get recuited. it wa stated in alot of EWU players and NAU and MSU players. that they would love to get a chance to play and beat the griz in wa-griz and they would rather get a chance to do that then go somewhere else.

Like i said before.....we cover the bball threads AND still are caring enough to get to know our new football team. i mean maybe at the beg. of drills we will die down a little. BUT now you just got new recuits and we get pumped about it. you however dont really. you couldnt give a dam.

How did you know we dont give a dam about Montana??????
 
I would like to compare Montana fan to that girl you met when you visited your cousins (or something like that) in Panguitch, or Monticello, or even Malad, Idaho that thought she was the hottest thing on the earth because she was remotely good looking in a town of a couple thousand people. She had never taken a step outside the town of a couple thousand people to see that she really wasn't that hot, but that she just was a bigger fish in a tiny pond. Meanwhile your elementary school had more students than her high school.

Montana fan is like that. Weber fans reside in a state where there team could have the tradition of Montana and it wouldn't mean squat because they don't get to beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, or Kansas St. in the Cotton Bowl. SEC fan does the same thing to MWC fan. It's called big timing. Everybody wants to think they are big time because that's what they are told and what they want to believe, even if it isn't necessarily true. Just be happy for Montana fan that they are breaking down recruiting stats of Southwestern Northern Dakota College of Mines A&M and be happy for BYU fan breaking down the New Mexico coaching change. Just be happy for the kid who thinks it is a big deal to play in Montana's stadium because up to that point the biggest thing he has been to besides a UM or MSU game is probably that ongoing nightly rodeo that they have going outside of West Yellowstone. IT'S ALL RELATIVE. People in NY think that Utahns are backwoods hicks too.

When Montana fan was in Ogden last year and they figured out they were going to lose the game, they began the old, "Yeah, but you guys still haven't won anything and don't have any fans and have stinky socks (i.e. really mature)" talk. I wanted to look at them and say, "Do you think anybody here cares that you are big timing us?" Really, do you think Weber St. fans are fans because Weber is the greatest game in town? No. They root for them because they are most likely alumni or Weber County residents and really like it here. If we wanted big(er) time, we would go and sit in a stadium to the south with 66,000 cotton heads. BTW, on the topic of McBride, remember that he really did play in the BIG HOUSE when he was at Utah with over 100,000 people- so I highly doubt that 25,000 in Montana was a big deal to him.

In the end, Montana fan is going to think they are the greatest thing since A River Runs Through It or Legends of the Fall because within there sphere of life they are. Good for them. It still doesn't mean they are good looking... but in their minds it does and that's what really matters, isn't it?
 
actully what matters is winning. and it about a above 500 record. maybe 25000 fans that SI rated in the 25 gameday antmospheres in the world. also it matters when a team makes the playoffs. And it matters when a team gets it done when it matters. It also matters that montana atleast has been reconized by bigtime universities. when when we start winning, on every fcs thread ppl dont have to ask about where is weber? are they new? ESPN knows who montana is....weber even with there little bit of basketball credit...espn and everyone knows nothing about them. If it doesnt matter to them............IT MATTERS TO US! WE ARE HERE TO WIN. WE ARE HERE TO SHOW WE ARE THE BEST, WE ARE HERE TO PROVE WHO WE ARE. You guys are nobodys and will remain nobodys unless you try and make something of yourself. You seem like just cause you dont think you get much respect there is nothing you can do about it. get out to the games. When you get chances to show who you are SHOW IT. BE LOUD AND PROUD AND purple in your case. at the end of the day WE matter because WE make us matter. you accept not mattering and thats the difference between us. You wont find a good FBS program that doesnt think that they matter or that they dont care. You guys are getting all the pieces.....Make it happen
 
You dont speak for me mtgrizfan, I always get hyped up about Weber's football.

And once again, yes you have a nice stadium, and you get the crouds, but honestly, Montana is the only show that goes on in Montana, unlike here in Utah, Weber has to compete with fans with BYU, Utah, and Utah State, just imajine if there was no BYU UTAH or USU, Weber's crowd would most likely tripe what Montana gets, and our Stadium would most likely hold 60,000 just like BYU's.

When you talk, you need to step out of your stadium first.

Hey I can respect the die hard fan but this is getting a little suspect. Really? You're trying to tell us that we're nobody's and you're a somebody because you're more dedicated to your team. HAHAHAHA. How many stuffed animal grizzlies have you had your way with lately. Cause from the sounds of things you don't have much else going on for yourself. But hey to each his own. Don't take this the wrong way. I consider myself a fan but not a lifeless loser who bases their worth on how dedicated they are to their team. I'd like to think that wildcat fans are a little more well-rounded than that. And maybe not but at least we don't cement our worthlessness with post like this.
