Let me ask you Griz BandWagonHomos a question... Whats better?

Up untill this point UM has had a pretty good hold on the BSC's neck since the big boys left, however, up untill this point EWU was a tiny school, with tiny budgets resting 3rd on the food chain behind the TWO in house pac 10 schools. (which montana doesnt have to worry about bc they are first on the food chain) Now that the EWU heads have realized the team is worth investing in... UM has a 3rd contender to worry about.

Montana State

If you Griz BWHs cant stand the sight of your team catchin a L, dont come to that Governors Cup game in Cheney this year. It wont be pretty for you griz BWH watchin UM lose. Fair Warning.

As a student of Washington State University I can easily answer this question. Wulff is a garbage coach. He inherited a very bad situation here (Hauck inherits more talent at UNLV this season than Wulff did at WSU in 2008) but has done nothing but blame the previous coaches and not shoulder any responsibility himself. I love Cougar football, but we're the most pathetic football team I've ever seen under Wulff, so, like everything else you've posted in this thread, that argument holds no water.

As for Missoula County vs Spokane County, I'll probably give you that one, there were enough hippies in Missoula that I just had to get out, although Spokompton isn't without their problems.

Im still waiting for someone to give me a solid reason why they think the THE GRIZ REIGN IS OFFICIALLY OVER prediction is wrong. Ill even throw in a Griz tshirt for the winner. In the mean time Ive got some good and also bad news for all you griz fans out there. The bad news is THE GRIZ REIGN IS OFFICIALLY OVER, the good news is you can save 15% on your car insurance by switching to Geico.

It's real simple; I'm surprised you missed it; wait, no, I'm not surprised. The Griz reign will never be over when the best competition that can be offered is EWU. The Griz have won four in a row and 14 of the last 17 against EWU, have lost one BSC game in the last four years and have been to the NC game the last two years. When was the last time EWU was there? Right, never. With that kind of consistent domination, the monkey is on your back to give evidence that bucks history, that the reign is over. You can't do it, because it isn't. Red turf is best you've offered. Montana is getting progressively more dominant in the BSC. Hard pill to swallow; I understand. It's getting somewhat boring for us.

Not at all. I'll even go on to say there are at least two Griz bars here in Spokane, and I believe one in Seattle and Phoenix.

That doesn't change the fact that EWU is located in a more competitive market than the Griz. :coffee:
If you (as you readily admit) are competing against a team that's located over 200 miles away, then the issue is NOT "the market". The issue is "the product". You've got a city of 225,000 less than 10 miles away and they'd rather drive 2 hours to see a 1-11 team play, or drive 2 1/2 hours to see ANOTHER FCS team play, than 10 minutes to see your product. If the GRIZ are out-marketing you, perhaps its because of an inferior product.

We always hear that one of the big reasons for the Griz success is because they have no competition. Apparently they're doing BETTER THAN YOU IN YOUR OWN MARKET! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Lets put that idea to rest and try and spend your precious energy on what REALLY matters....improving the PRODUCT. And that AIN'T gonna happen by changing the color of the field. :rofl:
The Montana interest in our market is almost entirely alumni oriented. A few hundred people going to the Swinging Doors or driving to Missoula is insignificant.

The product is entertaining/winning football - which we already have. What we lack is exposure and a better facility (the importance of which I think you admitted to earlier). A deep run in the playoffs and a NC would certainly make the product even more appealing. Still doesn't change the fact that we are at an obvious disadvantage to Montana when it comes to competition. Or do you think those Eastern Alumni we lose to WSU games are going there because of all the victories?

Compared to the size of the Spokane marktet and effecting our draw.

It is significant and a sign of how tremendously successful the Montana program is from a general point of view. But there is something like 40,000 EWU grads living in the Spokane area, so the competition from Montana for butts in the seats is not significant.

Sorry, I should have clarified.

Again, I'm not quibbling with yours and Z's points that Montana's formula for success is pretty much what EWU needs to follow. But we have some different challenges and need greater exposure. Nearly every person I've brought to a game at Woodward enjoys the product and ends up becoming a repeat customer. This includes Griz fans, Cat fans, and WSU fans. We just need to get them to that first game. The red carpet and the press it has already created will help.

BF, I'll take a Griz Cap and make it easy on ya. You have been a broken record on your Montana predictions when it comes to anything EWU related. Here is the quote that you made on the game in 2008 before we played you:

montana has a weak group this year, :D
all montanas games have been close aka close to losing. normally they are very strong. not this year! :D
they looked bad against weber,beat up & sluggish. Another road trip to 10,000 angry fans won help either.
Here is the actual outcome in spite of your prognostications:

:roll: :roll: As BF would say, get the fuck outta here. :coffee:

1995-2001: Montana has 6 outright titles in 7 years.
2002-2009: Montana has 3 outright titles in 8 years.

Seems to me that Montana is becoming progressively less dominant in the BSC. There's much more parity now. A lot of Montana's wins over top-half BSC teams in recent years are eeked out in the final minutes. I'm not saying that Montana isn't still at the top, because obviously they are, but it's just plain stupid to say they're "getting progressively more dominant in the BSC."

As per BF's claim; outlandish yes, but plausible. The Griz are ripe for the pickin' in 2010. :nod:

As my boy SE would say UM is ripe for the pickin in 2010. & remember what i said about facility upgrades & team performance. Montana has by far the best fcs stadium, and a good team for years. Now that UM's upgrade frenzy is over the GRIZ REIGN is over.
