Re: Redemption Time

Ok..my bad. The "their fans are really mean" posts are much more meaningful. You like your wann-be program? More power to ya. At least have the janitors standing in front of the garage doors string some Christmas lights....

I guess your response smack makes you the tallest midget then? Congrats. Get back to the round woman & rabbits.

@LordGriz

haha Montana is not God's gift to football. Settle down. No one's posts on any sports forum has any bearing on a game we know all that. You're proud of your program do you want us to pat you on the back and say way to go? What did you do to help get Montana to this point? Are you in the program or something? It sounds like, from the way you're talking, you had a large part in this rise in Montana football? I'd be curious to hear the tale.

I'm nobody..and I was actually trying to make "real" point regarding the FCS..(while jabbing ya a little) These half full games are killing a "brand" I really like. I'm a big fan of the playoff format and FCS football. My "jabs aside" was: that building that stadium changed our program..the school and the town. ..and if we can do it, anyone can! And I think the rest of FCS teams really need to look at how it came about and do the same thing..or the FCS is in trouble.

Anyone can? Montana and Montana State are the flagship schools in their state. The closest FBS competition is Wyoming, and maybe Boise State and Idaho (although there is no easy route from Missoula to those schools).

The only competition we share is hunting season.

Ya lost me. I don't want, nor could we afford to go to the FBS. I'm talking about building the FCS brand nationally...and it starts with building the facilities..in my view.

I think it starts with FCS teams getting wins against FBS teams and showing the nation the quality programs FCS schools can offer. You can build the best stadium ever, but if you have a subpar football team the stadium doesn't mean anything.

Re: Redemption Time

UNI is the last FCS school, other than Montana, you should be b***hing at about facilities.

True..but what do you think will draw the quality athletes to your program you will need in order to beat FBS schools? Half empty cracker boxes?..they'll pass on those schools if they can at all do it. No, you build it..the athletes you need will come...and then you'll be beating FBS teams...first things first. and sorry to say, Montana is an example. Not that we are going to be beating up on alot of FBS schools, but we do have a sold out, beatuiful facility and are in the playoffs more often than not. And THAT was the key. Boise is undoubtedly the best example. Build a first class fasility and boom! You're in the show.

What a joke. You come on here and try to lecture UNI on how to do things? lol

Montana has a great football stadium and a good football program. The rest of your facilities and entire athletic program absolutely pale in comparison to what we have at UNI. Night and day.

There's alot more going on than the stadium Einstein. But I can't speak to that. I've never been to your institution. My guess? We can "hang" all day..but I'll let you be the keeper of the "hot air out your ass" statements. We were talking about football facilities and what they can do for the FOOTBALL program. Try to keep up.

That tells me a lot about either your age or reasoning ability.
