I've said I'd be on board with Crews on the team if the team, coaches, everyone involved signs off on it, etc.

I feel like MSU needs to put out some sort of statement or have some transparency on this because right now it feels like they are sort of sneaking him onto the team and that could bite MSU in the butt. I think there are plenty of people like me who would like to hear some of the details that lead to him being added to the team.

I don't care about the details but I think they should have at least acknowledged he was joining the team during the last signing period (even if he didn't have to officially sign since he was already a student). I assume the local sports reporters will ask about him when he plays in the spring game and Vigen can confirm at that point. The only reason to issue a statement is to get out ahead of the coming performative outrage.


Eastwood, did not make it. Ball out! Recovered, by Montana State!! The Bobcats hold!!! The Bobcats hold!!!

Sneaking him on? He wouldn’t be in pictures or tagged if they were sneaking him on.

I’m sure it was discussed with the team, before and after. I don’t think it’s anything the fans deserve to know.

Maybe not quite the right word but there are going to be questions about it from the media, deserving or not. I think MSU just needs to get ahead of them is all.

Zac spoke to the team and went through the story. I guess it was well received and went well. We have great team leadership, coaching leadership and great culture. I completely trust the team and the process. I, for one, am glad he is on board!!!

Probably important to mention that he is walking on to the team this spring. No scholarship involved.

Whether they make a statement or not, there’s going to be questions about it from the media. I just don’t think it matters at all, personally. They don’t make a statement every time an athlete does something stupid, I promise you.

Yeah it’s a fine line and a line I think is ******. The journalist core is inherently woke and will undoubtedly ask the question, but if Vigen and players handle it up front they will get tired of asking the question. I’m fine with them asking the question, because it’s the world we live in. It seems right now words hold more weight than actions, which is a shame. I remember when Yates got a DUI in the summer and Choate suspended him for a few games and made it clear he made a mistake and has learned from it, and that was then end of it. A DUI or actually breaking the law is a more serious offense, but the media doesn’t care about that now anymore. They answer to the woke publicists and editors, so they will treat Zach’s joke like an actual crime, which it is not. It was a mistake by him and he has more than paid his dues. I’m glad he is getting a chance and I hope he kills it at MSU and makes Bobby look like the dork he is.

The sports reporters have picked up the story on twitter. Expect multiple articles rehashing the story.

F-u-c-k the reporters and the horse they rode in on. This is no longer a story. It's a bunch of woke bitches beating a dead horse. And for anyone who thinks they need some response, as to why he's a Bobcat? Go pound sand!

You would like Bobby Hauck if you knew him. He’s your kinda guy. I can tell.

The storyline coming out now from the reporters is about how UM/Hauck screwed Crews over. You and HLC are so wound up about who’s woke that you can’t take the time to even understand what the actual issue is. Which is probably par for the course.

The big story will be how UM and Hauck mishandled this.

Hey grizjiz girl. When I got married, I had three brother in my wedding. In the state of Montana on that day. There were most likely more brother per capita, in attendance, than any other town in Montana. Granted, it was Gallatin Gateway. You should of seen Stacey's, after the open bar was finally shut down at the Gateway Inn. You see, I don't give a flying flip anymore about this crucifix the woke crowd is still try to nail this kid too. So, like I said. Go pound sand!

And it won't go anywhere if they do. I think the large majority of both Cat and Griz fans agree that he made a bad mistake but has apologized, paid significant consequences, and now deserves a second chance. If any Griz fans are upset it will likely be because Crews didn't get that second chance with them.

MSU has nothing to address. A 17 yo kid made a dumb mistake at another school in another town that got blown out of proportion. He explained it and apologized. He is older and enrolled as an MSU student in good standing and is now trying out for the FB team. End of story.
