I mean, don't they kinda deserve to be able to chirp a little? On the road to one of the hardest places to play against the #2-ranked team and going punch for punch. I get it's week 0 and who knows where folks are really ranked, but if I was a team that was overlooked and in Missoula with a chance to win, I would be chirping.

If you start chirping and ultimately lose, expect chirps back regardless.

Agreed, but there also is a limit when at home and objectively should be the better team. Getting super chirpy when you have played down to a lower team is silly.

It's literally the first week, dude. No one should expect anyone to be the bigger team, especially in the Big Sky Conference. And chirping is chirping; No matter who, what, when, or where.
