Kaimin responds to Hansen editorial

Posted on October 9, 2007 by Colin O'Keefe
Brandon Hansen's editorial did what it was intended to do in getting a rise out of everyone. The Kaimin published their response to the humorous article today.

Here's an excerpt:
What we have here in Missoula is anything but pathetic. We have a town who loves its football and community members who show their student athletes support on any given Saturday. It’s the kind of school spirit akin to that at Pac-10 and Big Twelve schools, despite merely being a Football Championship Subdivision team. The magnitude of volume in the stadium is often too much for opponents to handle, and teams spend many practices prior to playing the Griz attempting to emulate the noise they will have to put up with in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. When the fans yell the “first down Montana” cheer or alternate the “Montana Grizzlies” chant from one side of the stadium to the other, it’s enough to send chills down your spine.
The whole article has a similar tone and feel. It's a bit softer than Hansen's original. It would've been funny to see the Kaimin really rip into EWU and its athletics but oh well, good to see something. Well done.

Wow, talk about a classy response to Brandon Hansen's piece of trash. It's nice to see that we didn't stoop to his level, even though it would have been really easy.

Agreed. Well done by Ms. Kuehn.
