I'm rooting for this thread to be moved to College Athletics where it belongs. 
I love the Bobcats and the Miami Hurricanes an unhealthy level

Re: Griz/Eagles--Who are you rooting for?
Eagles, 100% Not only because I know they're the better team and they have the best chance of winning the Chipper for the Big Sky, but for the life of me I don't understand how any true Bobcat fan could pull for the Grizzlies here just because they're from Montana and have good Montana kids on the team. Who cares? Why would we want them to win it all again and then listen to them brag about having Three national championship trophies at the FCS level forever?
Great time to be a BOBCAT!

Eagles, the grizz make me puke.

Doesn't really matter who you're rooting for. The Eagles are going to blow out um. VA is 100%, so is Forte. The grizz are 2-4 on the road. EWU is 6-0 at home and hasn't lost to a BSC team at home since 2011. 20-2 since then. Only losses were to #5 Towson and #5 SHSU in the national semis.

Don't think Forte is 100% from what I hear.
I have usually pulled for the Montana team 1st and the BSC team second. In my perfect world, Catgriz for conference champs every year doesn't scare me any.
However this year after listening to the UM football team chant ftc after half time outside the tunnel turned my gut. I know and have read all the arguments, but crossed the sportsmanship line for me. I do hold players and coaches to a higher standard than fans. Its probably just me, but that's ok.
My comments on BN earlier sparked a few pages immediately on another forum entitled ftc. Some said it was bs while others confirmed. It was pulled down pretty quick by mods. I know I am probably antiquated, but see myself pulling for EWU all the way through along with SDSU.(a tall order)

Re: Griz/Eagles--Who are you rooting for?
I have no problem with cat fans rooting for EWU. It is a rivalry. It doesn't go that deep for me, but I don't begrudge anyone that it does. Hope the griz win, but I really think EWU is better than everyone else this year and as long as VA is there. The guy knows how to win and seems to have fun while competing. I respect that. I also think Baldwin is the best coach in the big sky by far. He has no fear and it rubs off on his team.

Game outcome dependent on which UM team shows and I think Forte is a difference maker if healthy.
Could be a fun game to watch.

Re: Griz/Eagles--Who are you rooting for?
I hope the Eagles win. Not because I like them any better than the griz. Just that I can't stand so many griz fans. I just talked to a guy all dressed up in the gear and he doesn't even know who they play, nor when or where. I see this all the time. I've got time and respect for the team and institution, but loath their jerk-bandwagon fans; the ones with no affiliation to the university, and most of all the so-called fans that got the team into trouble with illegal contributions. For them, I hope the griz lose badly. Oh, and their radio announcers too.

I think you don't get it. Sleeping in until 6 won't get many people very far in life, especially if they want to play on Sunday.

Those guys are great reason to root against the griz. They're horrible.ImagineSanta wrote:Even my dad, UM alum, can't stand Mick and Gurns. Touchdown "Good Guys."Walk-on wrote:I hope the Eagles win.
