Nothing about JLM making ESPN, nothing about the champions center, nothing about Le Texier's ACL tear, not even a word about the SPRING GAME in Butte.Colter_Nuanez56 said:
2 hours after we lose a coach and there's an article up.
Wow. Just.....wow. Any Griz fan paying for Skyline Sports has gotta be scratching their heads on this one.

We didn't need him, anyway.

Anyone know if Kessman is available to coach receivers?

Sample is on hiatus as he straightens out some things in his personal and professional life. He did a few Griz hoops recruiting stories because that is the beat he is most entrenched in so it doesn't take him much time to compile stories.
The Troxel story we posted is essentially a rewritten press release from ISU with a bit of new information about Troxel's salary — he'll get a $25,000 annual pay raise bump — and is news, which is why I posted it.
I can't be in two places at once. We did not have any spring ball coverage of Montana football as Sample tries to determine what is best for his future. I have some fun/interesting Griz coverage planned for the next three months regardless of if Sample comes back on full time with us or not so stay tuned.
Apologies for not having quality spring ball coverage. If things go according to plan, that will not happen again.

He may have time between his modeling gigs, but I doubt he has the heart and desire.

My guess is you don't have to be "inside" to get advantageous knowledge.
It's official....Troxel is best in space. I mean look at those moves the last few moths. Blazing!
Colter's article said he is making 25K more than his previous time at ISU. Looks like that must be around 100K. After incentives that's got to be close to doubling his salary at Missoula. Sucks but no brainer

So you are willing to use a press release as a basis for an article in this case. Well I believe that gogriz.com issued multiple press releases over the course of the spring, providing quotes, statistics, and analysis. Why is it that when we lose a coach to a conference foe that suddenly it's time to bust out some fresh news on griz football? If losing Kyle means that all Griz Sports coverage will cease, then wouldn't you issue some sort of article explaining the situation to your subscribers?Colter_Nuanez56 said:
Then we've got the twitter page. ALL bobcat content with minor dustings of other big sky teams. Not even a recordable number of retweets about Griz sports. Griz football goes through spring practices with a STRONG PRESENCE on twitter aaaand not even a retweet. THAT is a pro-bobcat marketing campaign.
End of the day, I don't care. My 6 month subscription ended relatively recently and there is just no reason to resubscribe if the only thing that can prompt any sort of recognition is losing a coach (one that the fanbase LOVED).
I do appreciate the challenge that you took on. It's not easy to simultaneously appeal to Griz and cat fans. But your success with the bobcat fans (and failure with griz fans) is not a coincidence.......

Thank you for your feedback. The key to what we do is original content. This story is original content because of Sample's previous reporting plus the little bit I did to get some numbers and logistics. The only thing from the press release is the quotes. It does not seem advantageous to us to post press releases that also appear on gogriz.com because that is not original content. I can't write about things I don't see.
Like I've said in multiple posts over the last six weeks or so, even if we lose Kyle, we still have a plan to provide Griz coverage starting in the fall. The non-existent spring football coverage is not a problem we will encounter in the future if things go according to plan. I understand your frustrations and apologies for those.
Thank you for subscribing. I hope once we get things ironed out and the real football season is upon us, you return as a subscriber to read Sample's great coverage.

I think a lot of what you've all said about Troxel and Kramer is spot on. I think that Kramer was tough on his coaches and had high expectations from them, and I've heard that there were times he interfered with the playcalling. I thought it was strange as well, that Matt would leave as ISU OC to take a wide receiver job at Montana. In any event, the good thing is that ISU returns most of their coaches from last season so that there's continuity. The bad is that Phenicie's never been a head coach before, and past performance is an excellent indicator of future success. I wish ISU could have some semblance of success like Montana's had in the past.
