Re: Gris punter enters the portal
Interesting that he doesn't thank the coaches. He must have wanted to get out of there for more than just the opportunity to play at the FBS level.

Re: Gris punter enters the portal
I find this interesting in lots of different ways! As a punter you probably aren’t going to get drafted, so being in the FBS probably isn’t that big of an advantage. Also being a Montana kid makes this move even more curious. It does make me wonder about the culture at UM. I saw he is married and probably a mature adult. It doesn’t seem from the outside that the culture that hauck pushes would be encouraging of a student athlete having other priorities, such as a wife. I hope I am wrong, but something about this just seems to scream bad things about the grizz coaching staff.

No huge benefit in the draft. But a full ride with cost of attendance, and whatever other bonuses FBS can offer, sure would help out a married kicker.

Re: Gris punter enters the portal
AFAIK, he’s leaving because he wants to play in the FBS. It’s not about the coaches or the culture.spring creek cat wrote: ↑Mon Dec 13, 2021 12:08 pmI find this interesting in lots of different ways!

Re: Gris punter enters the portal
The timing is kind of suspicious. There wasn't a lot time between when he announced he was transferring, he got the offer for Nebraska, and he accepted the offer. Make me wonder when Nebraska started recruiting him.

Re: Gris punter enters the portal
Yeah, he was a walk on no scholarship at um who desperately needed a punter. Guess they had to many wide receivers on the payroll.

One of the comments sounds pretty scathing...

Re: Gris punter enters the portal
Sounds like it’s always been his dream to punt in the big leagues and he’s planning on buying a house. Hard to compete with the Power 5 and their boo$ter$

Re: Gris punter enters the portal
You don’t actually think he’s getting money from boosters to purchase a house, do you? You think they’d do that…for a punter? Please tell me you’re joking.GRIZFNZ wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 11:30 amSounds like it’s always been his dream to punt in the big leagues and he’s planning on buying a house.

Check out the first 10 minutes or so of today's Jason Walker show for some interesting info on this, as well as thoughts on the transfer portal and NIL and an interesting note about Ifanse at about 6:20.....
