I think Ash's lack of internal control leads to players destroying property and breaking into the homes of elected officials....

Re: Big Sky Conference football Coach of the Year
Oh yes, and that happens year after year after year with coach Ash, just like in missoula...... 

The State of Montana is Bobcat country.
missoula....still just 20 miles from Montana.

Re: Blah
It's worked out great. It did hurt when Ash wouldn't let them start our DII game, but you have to enforce some standards for the team...wait...what?..oh, nevermind.catsack wrote:Well I'm sure glad you guys got the Thomas brothers. How'd that work out for you? You probably could use those big nasty linemen .

It was the Weber game should have left them on the bench , it was over before they got on the field . Nice try !catbooster wrote:It's worked out great.

Re: Blah
You're right, my mistake - it was the Weber game. That changes everything. I'm surprised the ACLU isn't suing UM for violating their constitutional rights with such a cruel punishment.catsack wrote:It was the Weber game should have left them on the bench , it was over before they got on the field .

Since the game was going well for the Griz, and they didn't need those players to win, apparently you think they should have kept them on the bench. I guess if they might be needed for the Griz to win, the punishment should be one quarter. That allows the coaches to see how the game is going before a final decision is made on the punishment? Is that what you're saying? Sure looks like it.

I think the punishment was weak! I think it probably should have been a game suspension, bu t have to assume the coaches did what was appropriate .catbooster wrote:You're right, my mistake - it was the Weber game.
