Bob's Titt's Grizzlies

....is apparently the only football team in the state of Montana... What a joke. The arrogance is only rivaled by the hypocrisy....the "Pride of Montana", that ends up being the villain in a best selling novel, and the focus of a 60 Minutes Sports feature expose. When was their last conference championship again? I forget...like 8 years or something?

If that article gave you that much anger, you must have a lot of issues. I guess you probably were angry at Mac Bignell for his tweet about hating the grizzlies and wanting a hunting season. Are you mad about #own the state, r is it just when an opposing team does it? Relax. It is just a game. That rage is going to eat you up.

what the hell are you even talking about?! this thread is about griz basketball, and a game they may or not have lost to Syracuse years ago. please try to stay on topic. that crap may fly over on egriz where no one talks football and instead enjoys cdagriz's comedy hour, but over here, on this board, we discuss relevant things and stay on topic. so if you don't have an opinion on griz/'cuse basketball...please STFU...

Oh, probably not elated. I doubt they have a real strong feeling about it. Syracuse fans aren't especially proud of their teams during that era. No one can get too excited about their team when they find out they were cheating. I know I'm not proud of my 2011 Griz and I would never claim a win or a championship if they didn't play by the rules.

They have to have strong feelings about it. It was a post-season game in the NCAA tournament. Look at MSU fans regarding the 2011 Brawl. They feel very strongly about that particulars of that game and it wasn't even in the post-season!

The main thing anyone feels strongly about is the cheating. I don't think it really matters a whole lot that the NCAA struck the wins out of the record books. Whether they did that or not, fans everywhere (not just at MSU regarding UM or UM regarding Syracuse) feel cheated whenever anyone cheats. And we are, in fact, cheated.

What's more bothersome to me is that people don't seem to mind the lack of integrity. A team cheating is bad enough, but then there are people that don't even want to acknowledge it. In my opinion they don't care about the sport and they consider their school and themselves bigger than the sport and if cheating will get them to No. 1, they're all for it.

Well, so far you're the only Griz fan I've encountered that feels "cheated" out of the Syracuse victory. All of the Griz fans I've spoke with don't think it really mattered and that Syracuse was a far better team as indicated by the score. But as you and I've established the Griz lost that today but Syracuse didn't win. So that kind of takes the sting out of the loss. And while the Griz lost that day, we aren't sure to whom they lost.

Well you're not the first Griz fan I've met that's tried to make a discussion about this frivolous. But you're the worst at trying to disguise it.

There's some irony. Thanks for that.

In an earlier post you said, "And we are, in fact, cheated."

Yes. You, me, everyone is cheated when we spend time and money watching something that involves someone cheating. We are therefore cheated.

Now you're saying we weren't cheated and that we would've likely lost the game anyway.

We most likely weren't cheated out of a win. Just cheated out of our time and money.

However that isn't the greater issue. The greater issue is that fans are trying to sidestep the fact that our team cheated because they think we would've won anyway. That just makes us look that much worse because it lacks integrity and makes our fan base look bad. It's better to just own it and move on. People respect that.

But I think you probably already knew this. Please write back soon and let me know if you understand now.

Tampa,
Quit messing with the poor girl. She doesn't get that you are yanking her chain. We all appreciated the humor at first, but now it is just mean.

Well if that's the case you're even meaner than he is. You could've just told him that in a PM.
