McDowell Says

...there's a lot of factors here and it's easy for us to judge but we don't know all the facts. That's just reality.

I didn't think you were argumentative, just pointing out facts.

Reality. Such is life with Bobby, or any coach for that matter.
I'd like to know all the facts but I'll just have to Cowboy Up.

My post was simply in response to whether it was better to play the (possibly injured) senior starter or the true freshman. Doesn't seem like much of a choice to me. Would we have been in better shape in the QB room if McDowell had stayed? Probably. But he didn't. So we now have a redshirt freshman with a ton of potential and no real experience as well as a transfer with quite a bit of experience and another guy pushing them both. Sorry but I just don't think the sky is falling.

And yet...we still know very little about them at this point...

Never said the sky was falling. Along with DL - the biggest question mark on the team in my mind.

I think there was some bad communication between players and coaches. Players who 'tuff it out' playing at some fraction of their norm, are not giving good input to the various coaches, who assume 100% able. Calls based on that are doomed to failure. The opportunity to avoid that failure is lost.

If he was hurt, he has a duty to let the coaches know so they can make adjustments to the game plan. Not letting them know is ego driven cockiness, which came back to bite the Griz. Just my pedestrian point of view.

Do you not think the coaches noticed him using the bike for the first time all season?
 
By the time the playoffs roll around, everybody is banged up, guys. And, oddly, usually most kids get credit for toughness and playing through injuries. I'm not sure why Clif is criticized for playing through pain. Or even why we continue to debate this.

He came, he helped save the season and get us to the natty. We can all let him go and wish him well unless he plays the Griz
 
Sorry to disappoint you mom, but I stepped on my maroon colored glasses long ago. I did, however, put some fresh batteries in an old TI Calculator I have and crunched some numbers, and concluded there was no way in hell Da Griz could win. So, I saved myself from 3-4 hr of anger and frustration. Besides, there was always reruns if I was wrong. Don't remember what the hell I did during that time, though...🤔
For real, Elrod.
 
Sorry, 'bama, just too many 'thrill of victory, and agony of defeat' moments as a Griz fan. The '95 NC was the thrill, and '96 Randy Moss loss was the agony for me. And, I was at work both games. Reality set in about that time.
At any rate, my lyin' eyes can deceive me when it comes to the SDSU game. Can't criticize what I haven't seen, right?

seems like an acceptable viewpoint, in the brand new world of game results and replay being online instantly after the game, but it does remove a certain aspect of the choice to watch the next minute's news unfold. uncertainty. that for which only the brave will endure (and other bs)

so there you go...

Bro, you are killing me. You didn't watch the national title?! 🫠
 
I did not. Figured that would be a little less scar tissue in the brain. At this point in life, I hang on to what I can. I'm no Stephen Hawking. Closer to Joe Biden.
And then, there's always the condition of the heart.

I guess I can't hold it against you long term. I will only let it cloud my judgement for a few years or so. Probably not past 2030.

I didn't sit down for the first half, though. We had a heck of a start. It went bad, but man, I wish I had pulled the trigger on going.
