Has nobody seen the Billings Gazette regarding Sanderson?
Posted on page 1 at the bottom.
I've been away all morning and just now got a computer turned on and started making my normal sweep of frequent websites. I thought this would have blown up on here. I'm surprised by the muted reaction.

Those text messages the Gazette quoted don't seem like they could have any other context.
I mean it has blown up. The article was shared by Hawks86 as the 20th post on this thread. We are now on post 40.

Yes, you are right.

I clicked on the most recent post, which didn't mention it and so I thought I was caught up. I didn't read the previous posts. I'll show myself out. :bag:

Well we wanted more coverage from Lee newspapers. Careful what you wish for.

This is really sad to read. I considered Jay to be the best announcer, especially for football, we have ever had. The previous announcer always referred to us as "MSU" over and over. I loved hearing Jay scream, "TOUCHDOWN, MONTANA STATE!" Frankly, I think that whomever replaces Jay should continue that.

As for the other stuff, it doesn't sound good. I know there's always two sides to every story, but I'm not going to pass judgement. Jay's gone. If he screwed up, I hate it for he and his family. I wish them well.

Just waiting on the griz fanboys to chime in about how this is a disaster for the university and the football team.

This is a lot bigger problem than a Cat problem or a Griz problem. Hell. Most of the rest of the nation doesn't know the difference between Montana and Montana State.

One thing that really bothers me about this is Sanderson resigning knowing this hurricane was about to make landfall and not saying anything.

I love that final play of the Cat griz game, but now this accusation takes some of the luster off that particular audio/video clip.

He has officially made MSN news also. Thanks Jay. Unfortunately MSU will take the brunt of it since MSU's name is on everything, but isn't this a Learfield sport matter more than a MSU matter.

At least we don’t have to vacate any of our wins. Though I am sure griz fans will say that it is only fair that we have to vacate the Miracle in Missoula, since Jay made that fumble even better then it was. When will these guys realize that this crap isn’t worth it. It will absolutely destroy you and everything you have. Start thinking with your brain, not your......!!

Talked to a former broadcaster / buddy of mine. He knew of few marital relationships that lasted due to the nature of this business. They're away from their families a lot. This is not to excuse bad behavior BTW.

I took a look at her on facebook. Yikes! Just how drunk was he? I have a feeling there's more to this story. I will say this. Married people who cheat are my pet peeve. Zero morals.

On the issue of the texts, both Jay and Amie's texts need to be seen in full conversation strings to see the real context. The article mentioned that one of Amie's replies was "I f***ing hate you." That could be taken a couple ways depending on the rest of the conversation. I've heard people playfully say they hate someone when they are being given a hard time, and I've heard people say it and obviously mean it.

To be clear I'm not sticking up for Jay or saying he did or didn't do anything wrong, just saying that not everything is out there and there's always more to things. Just a bad deal all around though.
This. That one struck me as very odd, and to be fair to Jay, the entire texting history between he and Just needs to be looked at. That seems like a "That escalated quickly" exchange if he's flirting with her and she texted back literally that she F'ing Hates him.


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

Yep context will play a big role in whether it’s harrassment or simple bone headed flirting that will affect Jay the rest of his life.

He’s a married man texting a girl who’s not his wife at 3:19 am. I can’t think of a single context in which this is good, or can be brushed off.

The context will help determine whether or not it’s harrassment or a marital affair that both were complicint in that’s the difference, which is a huge difference. So yeah context is big in this case.

The administration of these things always confuses me. If Jay is a Learfield employee, why is MSU running the investigation? And how does a "final draft report" end up with the media?

The Title IX office at Montana State is who the complaint was filed with. The investigators are not state employees I do believe. The final draft is public information and can be obtained by the press through a Freedom if Information Act request.

I was typing some really bad stuff about Jay and what he has done but chose not so post it because too many people have gone soft to this stuff and would have gotten butt hurt by my comments.
