Could this be true

Post by Eastcoastgriz » Tue Feb 28, 2012 8:08 am

That makes it 7-0 MONTANA. (2-0 VB, 1-0 FB, 2-0 WBB, 2-0 MBB) Tell me the world isnt headed in the right direction.

But its ok you have rodeo to look forward too.

We play for national championships, not just to beat UM. Football: 3-2; Basketball 1-0; WBB 0-0; VB 0-0; Rodeo 8-0. That makes it 12-2 MONTANA STATE. Yes, the world has been going in the right direction for a long, long time.

But its OK, you have more front page Missoulian articles to look forward to.

Oh yes, Rodeo, the sport that has no roots in Montana, after all we are an Urban state chalked full of Caffelatte sipping, soccer playing, lacrosse groupies. Perhaps you have been taking in the sweet smell of subway bum urine for so long that you have forgotten what Montana outside of the Missoula urban Portlandia belt is really like. The number one industry in Montana is still Agriculture. That is farming and ranching city boy. Now run along to your feminist book club meeting eastercoast, or you will miss out on those warm comforting scones with tea....

That sounds just like bozo. Use to be a nice little cowboy town but not any more. Just look what they did to the Rockin R.

Now its a nice little cowboy and cowgirl (2011 national champions) town, which beats being a mean little daterapedrug/curb-stomping town. When football players get in fights in Bozeman its one-on-one, not 3-on-1. Try again loserville.

There is still plenty of farming and ranching going on in the Gallatin valley. Whereas Missoula county remains the bastion of spotted knapweed, carhhartt wearing posers, and transplanted metrosexuals. :sick: Rodeo has deep roots in the history and traditions of the agricultural landscape that dominates the State of Montana. I suspect that the only thing in your roots, eastercoast susan, is peroxide.

Don't let this distract you from the fact that the griz blew a 22-0 lead.

FINALLY a sane man! I am constantly trying to explain to Boise State why the Griz are superior in football based on our 2 National Titles to their 1. They just look at me like I am an asshole, but you see the logic.

No, they don't look at you like you're an asshole, they look at you like you're really stupid. The problem you're having is realizing that MSU got most of its championships competing at the same level as UM. The lone exception being the 1956 NAIA football title. You've had a rodeo team since the 1940s, but you've only had six individual national champions and no team champions.

In your post your ratio says 3-2 in football thus implying you include the NAIA championship; an athletic association you said yourself in which we never participated. I used YOUR standard for comparing National Titles, NOT mine. Gosh I must be really stupid because I can't figure out which ratio to count our 2-1 against Boise State or our 3-2 deficit to the Bobcats. Let me know, I was never good at double standards.

You will never hear me claim superiority in rodeo programs. I have on several occasions claimed MSU alum Dan Mortensen is the best/most successful athlete to come out of Montana.

Have a fantastic evening!

No, in my post, it talks about all sports.

When MSU took the 1956 NAIA national championship they beat NCAA UM in football. Soundly. Therefore, even if you were in the same divison that year you would've been sucking hind tit. Did UM beat Boise State when the Broncos were in the WAC and UM won the 2001 NC? No, but they lost to a WAC team. Soundly.

You do hold the record for losing the most championships, though, so go suck on that.

I don't care if you beat us when you got your "Championship" (I don't know if UM counts ties), but go on and speculate how the Griz would have done in NAIA. Who knows, maybe the year we embarrassed you 38-0 (1951) And lost the small college Bowl game we could have tied for an NAIA championship too, but we'll never know. Maybe we can drop to NAIA, continue to paste you guys, win a few championships, and then finally put this one to bed. That is your criteria afterall.

Championships are absolutely weighted in my opinion, and an NAIA TIE and D2 Championship do not equivocate to a Division 1 championship. Yep, you guys went further than us at a lower level of competition AWESOME. At the highest level (and current might I add) both teams have played it's advantage Grizzlies. The Griz have a winning record in YOUR stadium Mr. History. Let's throw that in for kicks and giggles.

I will not deny the Cats have more National Championships, they are in the books. But you might want tell the last three decades worth of football teams you play for them because they appear to have forgotten.

We'll probably never see eye to eye on this, but I'm fine with that. Up with Montana, good luck Bobcats.

Going to agree with Bracket here, not surprisingly.

It's amazing to me how some griz fans will parse out which championships mean something, and which one's don't.

No matter how much griz fans protest and nitpick, the fact is the Cats were winning a championship that year, while the griz were sitting on their asses. How that is somehow better than participating in, and getting a national championship is beyond me. ](*,)

Go ahead and say it doesn't bug you that we're ahead in National Titles. Cat fans know the truth.

Truthfully the NAIA Tie-tle does not bother me. Nor does it bother Boise State fans that the Grizzlies are ahead in titles because a great deal of their success came at a higher level of football. I have no idea what the Griz would have done in NAIA, but it is certainly not ridiculous to think they would have won a Championship at that level.

If it's titles determining Montana's best, than Carroll takes the cake no argument; however I know, and so would most unbiased opinions, that the Griz are Montana's strongest college football program. Both past and present (looks good for the future)
