Will the last Grizzly football player left please turn out the lights?

I hate to say it because I've had a great amount of respect for Griz nation, but it feels like the pillars are crumbling...

Dare I go to egriz and find out what the reason was? With all the heat on UM, a sneeze in the wrong direction will probably garner a dismissal.

Yes. Do hit up Egriz. Just make sure you leave your emotions at the door.

Now they're calling it an indefinite suspension and saying he could be reinstated.

So was the interim AD wrong on Kemp getting the boot for good, or does Head Coach Delaney have that much clout that he can change the announcement a day after it's been made?... or perhaps just simple miscommunication... Drama, drama and more drama up in Missoula these days

Daily things seem to be changing with HC/AD/etc.... If Engstrom (sp) gets the boot look for things to get interesting.

He was openly defiant when the Twitter ban came down a few months ago (& he kept tweeting regularly until the end of May). My gut says insubordination was the primary reason.

Wow, what a dumb thing to lose your last season over.

It is, if in fact that was the reason for him to be cut. He is an amazing athlete. He will be finishing up, from what I have read, this year and be moving on.

Nah, UNI will get another shot at us in the playoffs, but the result will be much the same.

Well, my guess is that it's more than just that. In other words, the twitter defiance wasn't the only defiance (or he refused to back down or something).

If it's the case it would make sense that that could be what happened. I've mentioned it before that I've heard that the majority of the team wasn't real pleased that a few had taken a lax attitude of accountability and so forth as far as making team meetings on time, and a host of other things that the certain few were not held accountable for.

That was a rule the seniors voted into place, it wasn't handed down by the coach, the administration, or anyone else. If he want's to defy it then so be it and suffer the consequences I guess. If that is the real reason then it says a lot about the change in the culture of the team recently and I will be happy to see a new found commitment to each other.

Well, looking on the bright side, no one has reported any slapping sounds coming from the showers in Missoula.


Yet.

12-3.

[SuperHornet]

Got it. I guess I miscounted.

Kemp is one of the guys who always leads the team in potential. But his deliverables have been such that he is easily replaceable.

The demise of the Griz is being greatly overestimated by the wannabes. It will be business as usual for Montana football this fall. Best stay out of their way; there is a chip on the shoulder.

The Kemp loss (if it indeed is a total loss) doesn't hurt too much. The quite possibly ambivalently plausibly impending loss of Jordan Johnson would hurt quite a bit, though.

The Griz need a good amount of offensive production this year, at least early on. Not having JJ makes that a lot tougher.

I'm predicting the Griz finish no better than 4th. Right behind MSU, EWU and PSU.
