Was it conditional on winning the NC?
IF it exists, I can’t imagine it being contingent on winning the whole thing. That’d be quite the carrot to dangle out there and then pull back if a team falls just short.

The prospect of a big gift is exciting, but I’m not giving it too much thought, I’ll believe it when I see it. Sure would be a nice boost to the fanbase morale after these last two days though…
It could be contingent on winning the whole thing, just like Sac State's $30M pledge seems contingent on moving up to the FBS. I don't know what that kind of pledge accomplishes though. It really only makes the donor(s) look bad unless we actually win.


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

I’m thinking that Arch Manning is going into the portal and going to come play for Montana State.

The circus can stay in Texas where it belongs, even if it’s hypothetical.

New rule. No more posting in this thread unless it breaking news about the big gift. My heart jumps eveytime I see this pop to the top. Dang, I just broke the rule by posting. Ugh, it's Monday.

:D :lol:

*I'm not serious about not posting on the thread unless there's news. Lighten up.

I don’t know, but Gregorak hinted at something multiple times this season on Colter’s podcast.
Hinted how?

If my memory hasn’t failed me, he said something along the lines of, “A little birdie told me more stadium improvements are coming very soon.” I don’t want to re-listen to all the podcasts, though.

It was in one of the big sky breakdowns mid season, don’t remember which one, and it was just a passing comment and they didn’t expand on it. I made a comment on one of these threads at the time to see if anyone else caught that.

May have been absolutely nothing or he misspoke, but he definitely said it.

Could it have just been the gift the couple gave to get the band to Frisco? Holter hinted it was from the other side of the Bozeman pass. The couple was in big timber right?

Exactly what I said a week before the chipper. Very well could be.


If your left, you aren’t right.

Not football related, and isn't mentioned as "a gift" but seems like a big deal.

That’s not the game changing gift. But it’s nice.

Awesome line though:

The problem is can’t move up without bringing Missoula with. Not sure if that is possible now.

What are your predictions on the dollar amount for this? Millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions?

Which will happen first: the mythical game changing gift or the mythical QB transfer?
