[Ursus A. Horribilis]

BOZEMAN — As the NCAA gets ready to lift a moratorium on schools moving up to the Football Bowl Subdivision, Griz football fans are debating the pluses and minuses.

Ah, who gives a fuck what that ol' blowhard thinks....

I didn't know that Musburger is from the Big Sky country. I'll try to think better of him in the future!

If Wyoming can support a team, why cant UM. If UM expanded their stadium to 30k the fans & community would love it and support them through through the transition.

Is wanting to be Wyoming in football something you would emulate??

Good point.

One difference - there is only ONE four year school in Wyoming. Besides Montana, there is Montana State, plus several smaller state schools to support.

IDK anything about Wyo football, the point is *IF WYO CAN SUPPORT A FBS TEAM, UM def can! UM has a 25 k stadium already!! 5k more and theyve got a 30k fbs stadium with the fans to back it. Of course unless their bandwagon fans... then youve got a problem. i dont believe that tho, UM's fans are loyal and they *WILL* SUPPORT AN FBS TEAM. End of story.

Montana moves to FBS, Game.Set.Match.Irrelevant in 49 states.

[AppStateAlumQC]

IMO Montana is one of the few schools that could move to FBS in the near future and be successful right out of the gate if they decide to go that route.

Because Wyoming has $$$$ and Montana doesn't.

Northern Colorado Football, Irrelevant in all 50 states. Go back to D2 you weak b@stards. Check that sig while you're at it you co-signing b@stard.

BF needs some serious consideration for humorous poster of the week. Dude is funny as hell in his understated fashion.

Yes, because EW is so much more relevant than UNC.

Pal, quit while you're ahead.

Ah, who gives a fuck what that ol' blowhard thinks....

Are you talking about yourself or Musberger?

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Yes, because EW is so much more relevant than UNC.

I'm not so sure he's ever been ahead, BF. I think he should just quit.

Correctamundo.

[BlackFalkin]

Exactly SE, UNC's program is so fragile, it wouldnt take much to dismantle it. First off.... NEW BALANCE JERSEYS?

[BigSkyBears]

way to de-rail the thread by bringing smack BF.

My point is that I agree with Musberger that moving up would be a bad move for the Griz. This thread has nothing to do with UNC.

Awesome British Knights kicks though.

He has no problem quitting. He gets his teeth kicked in when he starts his verbal shit and then can't take it and leaves.

Whatever. You'll see me more on the board now that summer is here. I'm a teacher so my 3 month vacation just started!!!!!

Don't worry about it being derailed, it's cool.

You jumped on the "irrelevant in 49 states" comment. Probably true, I couldn't care less if it is or isn't but you do like to jump in with a shot or two every chance you get. So BF had a good retort with Irrelevant in 50 states and you see that as HIM starting shit with you? You really gotta get your shit together Pyle cuz you're fucking it up by the numbers again.

I've said it many times to ya but I'll say it once again...

If you're gonna dish it then you better be able to take it.
