2024 Montana Grizzlies

[Heralded_Defender]

Montana enters the season number 3 in the FCS and should be one to watch. Unfortunately no caste match ups against FBS teams this year. 14 this year.

Offense -
QB - Logan Fife *in a battle for position
TE - Evan Shafer
LT - Cannon Panfiloff
LG - Cade Klimczak
OC - Liam Brown
RG - Journey Grimsrud
RT - Brandon Casey

Defense -
DE - Andres Lehrmann
NT - Pat Hayden
LB - Ryan Tirrell
LB - Cooper Barnum
NB - Jaxon Lee
FS - Jace Klucewich
SS - Ryder Meyer

Montana is still decently caste-ridden at the skill positions on offense, although there are a lot of white back ups. One of the biggest differences between FCS and FBS teams seems to be that FCS teams are still willing to play majority white defenses...even plenty of FBS teams with majority white offenses will only play 1-2 whites on defense...

Snowplow and hella overachievers in Defense! Hope Fife wins out.

Pac12 should have offered some of these Top FCS teams to try and save their conference. We all know they’d darken up quickly though.. But would be fun viewing for a few years.

It will never normal to me that a White QB is not the starter for any teams in Montana or the Dakotas.

Something I’ve thought about recently, which if implemented could be better for college football and our cause, would be to mimic the European football (soccer) leagues promotion / relegation system. For DI football you would have the FBS as the premier top league with a hard cap of programs. Then every year you’d have the top 5 (or whatever) teams from the FCS promoted and the bottom 5 teams relegated. It would punish lousy programs and poor recruiting, a lot of which are Caste factories, and reward schools like Montana and North Dakota State who are doing it right. Winning would actually matter, so perhaps some of the AA policy of padding school diversity stats via the football team would be tempered.

I know this will never happen but it would actually make the FBS and FCS more purposeful and punish some of the worst Caste offending mid major programs.

Montana is 5-2 and looks like Fife has taken over the starting job. 1100 yards and 9TDs/0INTs as he’s taken control of the starting QB.

LB Ryan Terrill leads team with 55 tackles.
