FBS move-up handwriting on the wall!

No, please no, Ted Turner. I don't care how much $$ he gives. I am personally waiting on "Alex Singleton Field" at "Troy Andersen Stadium"!!!

Amen, brother. Don't want that guy associated with MSU

I WAS JOKING!

Curious, why don't people want Ted Turner's money?

I know back in the day people didn't like him because he was a wealthy out of state guy who bought up a bunch of land and put up fences restricting access. It seems like that's becoming the acceptable norm now in Montana.

I wouldn’t want his money due to his wife’s role in Vietnam. Montana is full of Vietnam vets and vets in general. She’s a POS in my mind.

100%

He isn't married to Jane Fonda as someone already mentioned. He is, I assume, a democrat. However, MSU just accepted a $50 million donation from the republican governor of Montana, who a lot of people don't like. People, unjustifiably IMO, mildly complained about that. As for Jane Fonda, I don't think every veteran thinks she's a POS. It's probably about a 50-50 split among people who know who she is, but I'd guess that less than half the living veterans know who she is or what the controversy is surrounding her.

This discussion has gotten so far away from the actual topic of Bobcat football. But I would be remiss if I did not reply to Tom's comment. I could write a short novel here, but all I will say is that I lost my uncle in Vietnam in 1966. His death, and the circumstances surrounding it, dramatically affected our family members, and still does today. Even our family members born as recently as 20 years ago, know his name and how he died.

The manner in which Hanoi Jane conducted herself during her visit to Vietnam in 1972 was a spit in our faces, and the faces of every man and woman who has ever served. Yes, I will agree with Tom that probably not every veteran holds her in contempt. And as with anything, time tends to erase memories and many people today probably don't even know who she is, let alone why she will forever be known as Hanoi Jane.

Before anyone comments, I don't want anyone thinking this is a dig at Tom, or a political tirade. It is not. This is just personal for me, anytime that woman's name is mentioned. Consider it my crusade to make sure that as long as she is in the public eye, I don't want people to forget. So...for as long as I have left on this Earth, I will make sure that people know what a dirtbag of a person Hanoi Jane is, regardless of her lame and pathetic excuses she has used over the years to distance herself from that visit.

Let's talk about Bobcat football instead...............................

I can appreciate that your uncle made the ultimate sacrifice, and I can't imagine how offensive Jane's actions were. But Ted married her almost 20 years after that, and has been divorced from her for more than 20 years. She wouldn't be the one making the donation, and her name wouldn't be on it.

Not that it matters, because TT isn't making a donation anyway.

Thanks for the kind words. My reply actually has nothing to do with Ted Turner or his relationship with Hanoi Jane. I just want to make sure people are reminded of what a terrible person she is.

And I don't care for Ted either, for completely unrelated reasons. That's a story for another day...

And my disdain for them is also because of the "don't you know who we are incident" years ago. Won't take up more space with the issue. GOOOOOO BOBCATS...

I grew up in Belgrade and I’m not sure that it’s “greatly” exaggerated unless you give more details. Before Bozeman had grown into its current state of weirdness, it was a small town vibe throughout the valley. It didn’t take long for that story to get around when it happened.

Scott would tell you that they weren’t denied service, they didn’t make a scene, and they came back later multiple times but made reservations rather than try to walk in.

I heard the story shortly after it happened and that is not the story I heard but all stories can be embellished for either view. Thanks to all for that have chimed in.

Don’t apologize, it’s not your fault. It’s a lovable BN site quirkI just click a thread that has something that I haven’t read yet, and then scroll for 5 minutes straight to find the new post. It’s more funny than anything.

Arguing about Jane Fonda annd the Vietnam War and it’s not even March.

It’s going to be a loooonnngg offseason.

The upside is none of the current coaches have pending DUI charges.

I agree that the long nested quotes are a pain. However if you are just trying to get to the new unread posts on a thread there is an easier way. From the forum topic list the cat head icons on the left side of each topic are your friend. If the cat head is in color, there are new posts in that topic since you last read it. If it is in white only there are no new posts since you last read it. If there are new posts click on the colored cat head icon and it will automatically take you to the newest unread post for you. The only caveat is that it does this before things like twitter posts, videos, etc. are expanded so it may jump a bit if the thread has those.

[PapaG]

I used to just erase many of the previous posts in a quoted reply but since I’m on my phone almost exclusively now it’s a tedious process so oh well, I understand why we get those long chains more often.
