Trash Can Tip

[NewEra]

I saw it and didn’t think it was a very big deal. You can’t take the Butte out of the boy after all. But I will say, with 100% certainty, if this was Robby Hauck who did this same thing you guys would lose your gosh damn collective minds over it and there would be a 15 page thread on it.

That’s a fact but he also would have been credited with a tackle..so there’s that

Now that is funny ******. Well played.

I have no idea what this is about, but if the Gris are pissed and also @BelligerentBobcat is taking shots at this board’s posters over a strawman he posted, I’m guessing it’s no big deal.

I did see Tommy stay on the field longer than I would have and congratulate what seemed like the entire Bison team. That’s what I saw.

I loved that he did that. A low-key FU.

Nice to see I’m always on your mind, Greg.

You aren’t the only one that saw Tommy doing that. My sister-in-law, who’s never seen a ’Cat game, sent me a note from Iowa after the game. She said she was impressed by the whole team after the game, but particularly the quarterback. Said she wasn’t used to that kind of sportsmanship — and after a national championship game, nonetheless. We are lucky fans. Thank you Tommy and all the guys for an unforgettable year, done the right way.

You posted and I replied about the post. Nice of you to remember my name. I wouldn’t give a crap about yours nor recall it had I saw it two years ago (at least?).

Exactly who’s always on whose mind here, what’s your face? I’m not sure whether to be flattered or worried.

I thought it was absolutely hilarious...you could see he had pretty well came to a stop...the wheels start spinning in his head...and then...why not take an extra step and a half...I also would have thought it to be hilarious if Miller did it on the Cats sideline.

I do think this clip is pretty funny, with the music, lol.

Let's go into Missoula next year and give the gris lots of reasons to whine and complain.

In fairness, Robby Hauck also had a LONG history of cheap & borderline dirty hits in his storied career. He also was inexplicably credited with partial sacks for jumping on the pile well after the play was over...so his stats were pretty laughably overblown.

Mellot just laid down the best ever single year by a Montana born college kid (and I include football greats like Dave Dickenson and Troy Anderson) or Adam Morrison or Todd Foster...and by all accounts he's been a model leader on every level. Who followed that up with the least angry or violent trash can tip in history.

Its a pretty weird comparison.

I actually don’t think he did it on purpose. I think he went to run into it and his footing wasn’t good and he just kind of went to flip it out of the way in the process of catching his balance. Maybe I’m wrong. Didn’t think it was a big deal.
As I rewatch it. I don’t really know.

That is blasphemy. Dave had 5600 passing yards in a single season, 51 passing touchdowns, won the Walter Payton Award, and won the national champion. That is the best season any Montana born player has had. Tommy had a great year, but he’s not Dave Dickinson. Vince Huntsberger had 145 tackles, 3 interceptions, and he received a Heisman vote in 2001. Vince was from Libby. I can see your argument for third-best season, he had a greatseason though.

ndsu fans laughed at it. #8 just reached over and picked it up. I do like the trashcan tommy action figures or calling him oscar grouch!

[Cataholic]

The UM and NDSU fans think the trash can tip is a big deal.

If it got eGriz' panties in a twist, all I'll say is that I wish Tommy had gone further and hurled the garbage can into the stands.

Can you imagine if Tommy stopped, dug in the can and looked for human feces to throw on their players? (Reference to incident at WashedupGris stadium).

How does Tommy’s actions compare to constant late hits, illegal chop blocks, punches on the ground, cheap shots and ankle twists in a pileup. I would say Tommy’s trash can tip is way less harmful that the regular actions of Gris players.

But people would rather talk about the trash can tip. Tells you a little about those people.
