more trouble at Montana

Oh, there's no trouble. The two players who have been charged with rape have been wrongly accused and charged. The fired AD and head football coach were just scapegoats. The NCAA, Department of Education, and Department of Justice are conducting witch hunts that will turn up nothing. The Griz have lost 3 QBs this offseason, but their 4th stringer will lead them to a national championship. Nope, nothing to see here. It's terrible to see what's happening to the Griz, but too many of their fans deny that their problems are systemic. Instead, they blame the victims, media, liberal government, and anybody else they can. And where are all the sanctimonious Griz fans who demeaned their conference institutions? They demand to be aligned with "peer institutions" that share their University's supposed superiority. Eastern, Idaho State, NAU, and the rest just aren't good enough. Well guess what? Payback's a bitch.

Unbelievable. His argument is essentially "well, he didn't rape her violently enough, so he should be given a pass". As if I needed another reason to hate Montana. Hopefully somebody set him straight on their board. Further, I hope that guy doesn't have any kids to pass on that bullshit thinking.

No, this guy has a real problem with his Grizzlies losing their star QB resulting in a less than stellar outlook for his football team. Get over it bud, do the crime, do the time. FTG
Unfortunately this kind of stuff happens all over the country on college campuses, including EWU. Especially when alchohol is involved. I don't wish all this on the UM program, but in a sense, you reap what you sow. I'm not saying Johnson did this or anything, and he will have his day in court, but when you add up all the crap that's gone on over there the past several years it doesn't paint a pretty picture. It's hard to know the exact character of all the kids your program is recruiting, but geez man. Seems like there's a definite trend there in regards to all the kids they've had getting in trouble.
This is sad for all parties involved. Hopefully the Griz won't use it as an excuse when the Eags hand them their asses this fall.

Yikes, the Griz can't seem to buy a break.
This will have an impact on their season next year, but most importantly, hopefully the girl in this matter is ok.
I don't think this will have any impact on their NCAA investigation, but it probably won't help.

The Griz haven't been a QB-dependent team for quite a while. I think they'll come out of this fine. I seriously don't think they'll suddenly become a 6-5 team or worse because of this. Thier defense is still good and they ran the ball all over our defense last year even when we were healthy.

The Griz will have 8 or 9 new starters on defense. Also, pretty much everyone ran all over us last year.

Good luck to them in that regard with their 1 returning starter on the OL.

To All Griz Haters,
This morning on National News, (CBS)Griz QB #10, was mentioned on charges stemming from party life. They had him in TV, along with Victim. This will be a Jury Trial, according to some of the reporters, they are going to have problems finding Juries from Missoula. Little Football Town. I don't wish the accused or victim anything bad. Partying is a "B====" leads to bad things if you are caught :nod: :nod: :nod: , alcohol doesn't help either. especially if you are under age. :nod: :nod: :nod:
Hope I didn't leave any of you hanging. Vic Wallace

WOW this is about to get really ugly when you have a U.S. Rep who is on the board calling out his own program. One of the things that came to mind was the movie The Program ie out of control (obviously not small town USA since it seemed to be depicting Florida State).
My guess is that he is going to recommend to reduce the scholarships allowed to be given and raise the GPA level/standards allowed to accept said scholarships (if that could be done).
Basically tear it down and rebuild.

Geez, what a shit-show. As much as I dislike the Griz football program, I think it's kinda BS how political this whole thing has become. While I do believe that somewhat of a "win at all costs" culture has existed there for a while, all the sensationalism and politicizing that the media has done isn't fair to the majority of their student-athletes that have been doing the right thing.
The law says no means no, but this deal really pushes it. By the "victims" own admission she was not sure if JJ had done anything wrong. It seems he is being held accountable for all the wrongs of the athletic dept over several years. We are talking about a mans life here, not whose politics are right or wrong.
