IS UM any good?

[wbtfg]

Watching the UI-griz game and I can't take listening to Grady Bennett's homer bull$!@# commentary anymore. I get it, you're an alum and former player. But have some journalistic integrity and call the game without spewing hyperbole at every turn.

He’s not a journalist.

He's not, and he's not supposed to be. He's paid by the university (maybe via Learfield, but through an agreement with the university). I think ESPN+ just picks up the audio from one feed. I'm not personally a fan of GB but I think he's doing just what he's supposed to be doing as a radio/TV analyst on the school's payroll. Most universities have a homer in that seat and some are way worse than him.

Scott Guernsey was much worse. So much so that some of the fan base turned on him for being an ignorant A$$. Bennet is certainly annoying, but at least he can speak coherent sentences, and isn't a pathetic POS that Guernsey is.

This is a total non-sequitur, but I was thinking the other day that BJ Robertson would be an interesting color-commentator on radio or television. He knows the history of MSU and Montana High School football as well as anyone, and could provide some interesting insight. Plus he's just a great, fun dude.

I think that's an awesome idea.

It fits their fan base well.

I think Ty Okada could do play by play and be good at it, but would be awesome as the color commentator!

It is the end of October. Cat/griz is a few weeks away. The griz have 2 conference wins.... the same as mighty University of Northern Colorado Bears. #RTD

I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes an nfl team. Good connections. Could be a special teams player.

I think Bobby is done after his kid is done. He seems tired and burnt out. He could use his kid in the nfl as an excuse.

I just cannot fathom that Robby has a snow ball in hell chance of making the NFL. If Kane Ioane could not even make the first cut, Robby sure isn’t even going to get a free agent tryout.

Robby isn’t good enough to be the laundry boy for an NFL team. He’d be too slow for that job too.

Can’t even hold Tim’s jock!!

In other news, they should have lost to Southern Utah

Took all they could muster to beat a 1-7 team by 1 point at wa griz. They maybe don't beat NAU in Flagstaff. It can be a tough place to play.

Lol. He’s too slow for the Big Sky. He won’t be making any roster.

Looked like two sh1tty teams having a pillow fight. That was some bad football.

[ilovethecats]

Griz seem to be getting just a little worse every week. Kind of odd to see but they’re really out of sorts.

In related news, Sac State up on UNCU 20-17 about half way through the 4th. griz play NCU next week. We can root for the clipboard throwers.
