Why the Montana State Dustup Was Far Less Than It Seemed

Football can be a fiery sport, my friends. We see it time and time again. Football players are wired differently than you and I. They have this level of fire that borders on insanity at times.

Tempers were flaring at the conclusion of the Montana State - Yale game in Bozeman on Saturday. Cats running back Julius Davis got into a verbal altercation with head coach Brent Vigen. Davis was chatting, or something, with a Yale player or two, and Vigen was doing his best to usher him off the field.

And then Vigen addressed it at his weekly press conference.

     
In case you don't want to watch the full 6 minutes, Vigen essentially stated that he wanted to protect his players because it was "apparent that our two teams were interacting more than we needed to."

I work for the Griz. I wear my maroon colored shades while typing this, but this was nothing in my eyes. Altercations happen on the football field. Dudes are so revved up to hit each other for 60 minutes; this stuff happens all the time. Heck, last year it happened with Griz Coach Bobby Hauck and former quarterback Logan Fife in the middle of a game.

It's whatever to me.

Unless Davis threw a punch, said something a normal human being shouldn't say, or something else that was equally despicable, then I don't look into it that much.

But who knows what was really said? Until true clarification comes out, I'm going to move along and preview the quarterfinals this weekend.
