I can not even imagine the atmosphere in Wa-Griz on Aug. 31st if #10 leads the Griz out of the tunnel for the season opener against App St.

A shirt company needs to start running their #10 Montana jerseys now to keep up with the demand.

With all these nice homespun similes, it's becoming quite apparent that BF is really Keith Jackson in disguise.

Whether it's too early to talk about or not, the question is on everyone's mind. We already know Jordan Johnson wants to return to the Griz football team. It’s just a matter of if he will.

Johnson, of course, was acquitted of a rape charge Friday in Missoula. The high-profile trial lasted 12 days, and the jury returned a not-guilty verdict after about two hours of deliberations.

As Missoulian sportswriter Fritz Neighbor wrote following the trial, Johnson must appeal to the university to return to the football team. When Johnson was officially charged last July, he was indefinitely suspended from the football team. That suspension must be reversed for him to return.

If Johnson is reinstated -- provided he doesn't take any legal action of his own -- it will probably mean the university's controversial decision to expel him last spring will disappear in the wind.

After Johnson was initially accused of wrongdoing, he was voted expelled last May by a 7-0 university student-conduct court, which ruled Johnson guilty of misconduct based on a "preponderance of evidence." In turn, Johnson and his legal team tried to get that vote reversed during an attempted injunction last summer, but the request was denied because the vote had yet to be decided on by the Board of Regents.

As a result of those proceedings, a judge unsealed pages and pages of court documents detailing Johnson's expulsion. After months of speculation, we finally knew, despite university denials, that Johnson was indeed voted expelled. But what happens to that decision now that he's been found not guilty in a criminal court of law?

It seemed last spring that UM administrators -- especially president Royce Engstrom and dean of students Charles Couture -- were bent on kicking Johnson out of school. And that aim also probably had much to do with football coach Robin Pflugrad and athletic director Jim O'Day losing their jobs simply because they stood behind the quarterback.

One year later, Couture, who sent Johnson his expulsion letter, has retired and is out of the picture. But Engstrom is on record saying the the athletic conduct team will listen to Johnson's appeal and make a decision. "And we’ll attend to that as quickly as we can, if that’s what Jordan wishes,” Engstrom said.

It's a much different tune from last spring, isn't it?

During his trial, Johnson (oddly) testified, "I admit I'm not a good person." And you can take that statement any way you want. But he's always been considered a good quarterback. And the Grizzlies appear poised to get him back.

You're def gonna need all the help u can get and if gobbling a bag of baby dick will help you in some fantastically homosexual fashion then Go ahead. U guys embrace the man on man ass pounding like a badge of honor and u wonder why the griz reign is over.

I agree and it's amazing how many griz fans have a hard-on for this kid.

I agree and it's amazing how many griz fans have a hard-on for this kid. You can be the starting QB for this program and be called "Messiah." If any story exemplifies the messed up culture and backwardness of the state of Montana, it's this story. If you read some of the testimony from this trial, would you want your daughter dating a guy like this? And please, don't use the sorry-ass excuse that boys will be boys and he's just being a college kid. You know what? There's many,many, outstanding young men WHO DON'T DO THIS, AND DON'T PUT THEMSELVES IN THIS SITUATION. You want this kid to be your QB, by all means worship him all you want. You'll just continue to be known as a bunch of hicks.
