The Wild, Wild West

Jimmy Wilson (second team All Big Sky, not pictured) has been suspended by the University of Montana indefinitely after he turned himself in on murder charges Tuesday. The craziest thing about this is that Wilson was not suspended from the Grizzlies until Friday. He has a pretty good alibi if the coach is angry as to why he wasn't in the weight room or participating in seven on sevens between Tuesday and Friday. When he says he was in a bind and couldn't make practice he wasn't lying, he was in prison awaiting to be arraigned on first degree murder charges.

In Montana this isn't a case of Virginia Tech being bad and the University of Virginia being a school that's athletes behave either. Montana has no team with discipline. Montana State has kicked a player off of their team for murder charges (as well as a basketball player) and fired their coach due to the problems their program has had in the last couple years.

With all the incidents the state has had recently I'm amazed my old man was pushing me to apply to Montana State out of high school. I mean hell I could have had all the fun the Montana or State football team has down in Newport News and Hampton Roads at the homes of Hokies without driving 2,000 miles to school a semester. On a postive note I hear Shane Beamer is out there looking for a head coaching gig. Maybe he can right the ship for the Grizz.
