I’m fully prepared focus on the players who want to come to Bozeman.

I’m only quoting this part of your post because I don’t know why everyone isn’t doing this.

[SparkCat]

Getting some news.

That’s awesome thanks for sharing.

It’s hilarious, you share the first positive portal news, yet lots of squabbling.

Was originally recruited and committed to NAU in 2021. Only other interest looked to be from Cal and San Jose, however no offers from them. From his highlight film, which is hard to judge from as it’s highlights, he plays the ball well, gets turned around and attacks the ball, not the receiver. Also looks quick to get up and hit on runs.

My contention is that if Cal is going to be poaching many of our best players, they should try not being so pathetic.

I hope Polidore enjoys being another player who no one is aware of at an irrelevant program at a school that is far more passionate about communism than football.

That said, I’m fully prepared to forget about him and focus on the players who want to come to Bozeman.

I apologize. I will try to be more excited about the players whom MSU develops and then leave for money, as well as the institutions that hire them away in order to maintain their sterling mediocrity.

It’s fine, I get super fired up about particular issues, my wife already chewed me out for a rant I had earlier today about someone’s driving.

Anyhow, they gone now. On the bright side, looks like we offered a new dude in this Meredith Cat. Red shirted at NAU, played two years at a Juco, now has 4 years to still play, it’s like we landed an experienced freshman. Also, he seems beyond thrilled to announce he got an offer from us, and is getting a lot of excitement from others on his X, so if he commits let’s be excited for him!

Vigo is right. Why celebrate players who don’t want to be here?

With my extended family and I having had many very positive interactions with Dru Polidore it is painful to see him leave at this time. All the same we feel very blessed to have had him here as a student and player who always gave his best. We will always wish the very best for him, and his decision will have no effect on how much respect we have for him.

I’m sure he’s a great guy and I’m sure if I knew him, I would be excited for him.

But I’m just tired of and reject this notion that Cat fans (or Griz fans or whoever) ought to feel so honored that some kid came to MSU to use it as a stepping stone to a payday.

I think that’s being content with taking on the mentality of a JUCO or farm system and MSU is better than that.

Agree. I can't blame a 20 year old for jumping at the chance for a 6-figure payday. But I certainly don't have to cheer about it when they bail, or be happy about the current free agency farm league we're in. I'm tired of watching it, and tired of the posters here who wag their finger at me for not embracing it when our best players get picked off by richer FBS schools.

I can't speak for others but I'm just happy and proud that MSU attracts so many high quality student athletes and good people. I'm definitely not thrilled with everything the portal and NIL has done to college sports but that is the reality of the situation.
If you think it will help attract and keep athletes at MSU you go right ahead and make sure you show no honor or happiness to any kid coming to MSU to play sports. Or do you hold these feeling only toward out of state kids?
The frowns and scowling faces will surely stop those student athletes from leaving.

[iaafan]

I think a good rule of thumb is to root for the players that are playing for MSU. That will eliminate the confusion. Keep it simple.

Agree, Damn well said. Im tired of questioning anything to be told to “you do you”, move on, trust, or have the ol finger wag… Cheers

[tetoncat]

Cheer for players playing for the Cats. Make no comment for or agai.st someone who leaves. Judge their career on time here.

[profisme]

I guess my opinion is that I will cheer for the guys who play for MSU. No need to denigrate them because they got an opportunity or payday greater than we can offer. The Cats still will field a competitive team and I will root my ass off for them next year. Life goes on.

[AFCAT]

If a player had offers from Cal and MSU coming out of HS they are going to Cal. If that same offer is available 2 or 3 years later why would they not still choose Cal.

Posters on here don’t like it because Cali is bad and scary to them.

I know, right.
