Former player Andrew Schmidt tweeted this week that he suspects there game against Idaho St will (for whatever reason) be a black flag game. Apparently his guys need to really get up for this one. The part I found especially interesting was that Andrew said that these games the players were to do whatever necessary to get the win and that class during these games was "more or less out the window".
I recall many games during the last stint with Bob where class appeared to be out the window. Particularly brawl games. Jumping on top of the piles, late hits, etc. Many of us called foul and labeled these teams classless. Of course we were labeled babies, whiners and were making stuff up. Bobby's team always played with class and respect I was told.
It appears we were correct all along. Not that this is earth-shattering news on this side of the divide. But it's nice hearing from a former griz player validating what we already knew.
As a fan I just love this kind of stuff. I love the rivalry. As long as our guys stay healthy facing a team that will do anything to win I'm all for it. Just something I found interesting this week.
On a side note I'd love to hear from Griz fans why on earth this game would be a "black flag" game if Schmidt is correct?
