The Bobcat Nation

I want to start this one by saying congrats to the MSU mens track and field team on a stellar season topped with a big sky conference championship. Now, along with this championship, we also received the presidential cup, which rewards outstanding acedemics. So now, why can't U of M compete with MSU when it comes to these various awards and different sports. Well it is it because their money goes straight to their football program, not to their academics, not to their various extracurricular activities, or anything else? Could someone over there quit protesting for one minute and fill me in on this. Why is it that the U of M track team gets 89 points at conference with athletes like Jummy Stanton and Andrew Levin, where is the rest of the team. Yeah, UM may have more of a tradition in football than MSU, but everything else is going to waste while MSU is excelling in everything. Argue with me on this, I know for a fact this is true because I hear it from UM students, who prefere the "laid back, do it whenever you feel like it" environment at UM. So , where does UM's money go?

It goes to the AD.

Its simple we dont care about track or golf or swimming or tennis or Rodeo

You guys need to get a grip- This is the USA other then the Olympics nobody I repeat NOBODY cares about track or any of the other minor sports. So if you want to crow about it thats fine- But when it comes down to it

NOBODY CARES!!!!

People who have no apprecation for true athletics don't care about track and field -- that much is true. If one's only draw to sports is that it makes them feel like part of a team themselves (with their fellow team fans), then only following the major sports like football are perfect.

True sports fans, however, do care about track. It's the best spectator sport out there. It's just a shame that we don't value it in this country as much as they do in Europe and elsewhere.

As to whether Cat fans are better than Griz fans on this point ... I don't know.

Scats are you a fan of any other sport besides football? because every other sport in the Big Sky is a “minor” sport. Even dare I say the women’s basketball team!

Tell that to the thousands of ticket buyers for the world championships in Helsinki, oh ya, track is cool.

The internet doesn't care.

You are stoned. There are only 3 major spots in the BSC Football, Womens basketball and mens basketball. This is no slap to other sports, but they just dont matter to most fans.

Nice try to validate your stupid trophy

Stupid trophy, hmmm, being stupid is the opposite of why we got that trophy. Anyways, just because you will never be an athlete and all you can do now is sit on your couch and watch doesn't really give you the right to judge other sports, but go ahead, keep wishing. Why you are at it, maybe you can get high and protest this tab. Oh yeah, and open your eyes, other sports do matter, even in America, but hell, your just proving my point.

Are you serious? How can anyone compete with the mighty bobkittens?

If these minor sports are so important, why don’t cat fans attend these functions in large numbers?

Please post me the attendance numbers for the minor sports (Football, men’s and women’s basketball being the major sports)

scats, you're an idiot.

Go down to dUMb (do yourself a favor & stop and ask for directions) and ask your volleyball, tennis, track, golf, soccer, or any other scholarship athletes, their families, their friends, their coaches, or your Athletic Director if they care. Ask them how grateful they are that their hard work in their chosen sport is being rewarded with an education and a chance to get a head start on the rest of their lives.

TYPICAL BANDWAGON griz FAN. THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS FOOTBALL (along with basketball as long as we manage a 3 game winning streak once in awhile). Funny thing is, scats, that 20 years ago, NOBODY CARED ABOUT GRIZ FOOTBALL EITHER.

scats, you're an idiot.

I'll say it slow so you don't get lost.
THIS POST WASN'T ABOUT ATTENDANCE THIS POST WAS ABOUT AN ALL-AROUND SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM.

What's up did you take remedial reading classes with Kamar

scats, it's a good thing dUMb will never win that "stupid trophy" because you'd have to eat a TON of crow; I'm pretty sure a bunch of numbnuts fans who go crazy over a mascot contest would be equally proud of the President's Cup.

Or to put it more simply for you and your 25 IQ, if the Griz ever won the P.C., you'd be on here gloating like it was the National Frickin' Championship!

scats, you're an idiot.

scats, you're an idiot.[/quote]

My read on scats is he/she/it? is somewhere in the 12-15 year old range. Might be older, but the mentality of he/she/its? posts definitley falls in that age group. Oops, guess that could also apply to a dUMb grad.

This is too funny - MSU trying to claim athletic/academic superiority over the Harvard of the West.





A degree from Montana State = The post-GED GED


And Missoula chicks are so much ****** hotter, it is not even close.






Kill yourself.

dumbnoclass2002,

You are FAR too young and have nowhere near enough knowledge to proclaim dUMb as the Harvard of the west.

When it comes to the education radar, dUMb has never even warranted a "blip". Before you go popping off about it some more, go do a little research and you'll find MSU held in much higher regard in FAR more areas than that little school you attended, the school of Modern Dance.

As a matter of fact, right here on the Nation you'll find a thread on the impressive amount of scientific research funding awarded to THE Montana State University. Put THAT in your pipe and smoke it. OOPS; I guess I shouldn't encourage your addiction, should I?

MSU does do a nice job for a 4th level school.

Yeah, but you griz grads (LMAO) sure can dance!

I am typing as slow as I can for you. If so important to have an all around successful program, why don’t cat fans attending these sports. Are you happy when only one or two thousand show for a football game? I don’t think so. Admit it it's just not that important. It's nice to say that you won it but that’s all.

I'm willing to bet you would trade that trophy not a NC Football trophy in a heartbeat.
