I mean this in the kindest way possible, but the choice of players here is baffling to me.

Those three players have the biggest total "stake" amounts so far. I'm guessing most of it is coming from family members and friends, so the best players might not be the ones ending up with the highest amounts. I was originally skeptical of this but if players can use it to raise a few thousand extra bucks, then good for them!

I guess this site is kind of like a go fund me for athletes, but if I’m a family member, I’d just Venmo them some money and save the 25%, or whatever, fee that this company charges.

I imagine there’s a fee for using that site? They gotta make money somehow.

But yes, awesome for the players. Got no issues with that at all.

90%+ goes to the Athlete, 3% to teammates, and 7% to the company. I thought that was reasonable.

Four September games at home and only one in October. It's going to be sunscreen 4 times and then coats and boots in November. Not alot of mid temp games. I'll take it. The scenery is better at the warm weather games....

It is Montana :shrug: Hope MSU opted for the extended warranty. The current screenshot looks like they colored it in with a marker

What the!? A time lapse video of MSU building something, sponsored by a company. Great idea!

I’m surprised ‘Taco Time’ on Main Street hasn’t jumped on this.
Seems Taco Time closed. Building was available to rent last time I drove by (I think? idk I was driving and only caught a glimpse of a sign)
I know the family that owned them worked their tailgate off and I'm sure it caught up to them with the difficulty maintaining a steady workforce. I want to say dad owned Bozeman and one son owned four corners and another son owned another one.
They ran good places. Only one son that I remember — I bought my house in Bozeman from them. Only one child at that time, but you can grow additional ones at home. I agree, really nice family. Did the house sale without a realtor, bank did the closing stuff, easy-peasy.
