I could not care less whether colter likes or dislikes the cats. I read his coverage because it's excellent and informative.

I imagine his readership is growing to include more and more griz fans, so he's spreading his coverage around.

Colter is a grizzly and as such deserves to get ****** on this site. Of course he said some snarky things about MSU. Just like every other UM homer he is sad about his alma mater's awful coach, disabled QB and falling enrollment numbers.

If the guy knows as much about football as some of you think he does, then he knows what's coming. Him picking UND is a last ditch hope, by a tried and true maroon lover, to deny that MSU is light years ahead of his beloved program. When we dominate UND on Saturday hopefully everyone will realize that Colter is a journalist and not an analyst.

This. He's trying to grow. And the griz fans need their coverage too.

IMHO Colter trying to expand his business is a wise business decision and I wish him the best.

He is usually pretty dang accurate, fair and unbiased in his reporting.
Edit to add: He knows the BSC better than almost anyone.

It seems like there are times when he is over at Missoula and talking
with true Griz homers that he does seem to show some Griz bias.
Whatever.

Colter, don't drink the water over there, it has Grizz pizz in it and it dumbs you down.

Week 3 this year, huh? Seems early for this thread. I guess it is a tradition. ](*,)

Everyone knows where Colter and his brother went to school. I think he does a great job on the Cats. As someone who doesn't live in Montana anymore Colter is the only person I read when it comes to MSU football. He puts in a ton of effort and it shows. It is disappointing to see so much Missoula content on Skyline these days but I can easy scroll to the Cats articles/videos.

ESGGCG!


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

Yeah, I've seen that too. Drives me nuts when Stitt's face show's up in my Twitter feed though. :yuck:

Sports writing is kinda like compromise. Compromise is met when both parties walk away equally dissatisfied. Sports writers should be disliked equally by all parties.

Either that or you should be completely unnoticed. That can't happen in Cat-Griz.

I think Colter makes up fake accounts, just so he can get this thread started every year. very Machiavellian.

It's BS that Colter says he doesn't like anyone, only stories. He likes the griz for all the ties he has had there...but who cares. As long as he does the job and reports good stuff, I don't care if he likes Monmouth over MSU...I like what he writes!

Colts is a sportswriter. He is supposed to stir talk/interest/controversy. Look at this thread. I think he has done his job :)

Montana State won't be starting a Journalism school anytime soon. Take what you read from U of M graduates with a grain of salt. If you don't like what they publish then do not read or listen to it or pay for it. If you do and it bothers you then that is pretty much a "you" problem.
