Racinelli Gone

All comments on that fan page are vetted. You have way more former players and people associated with the University that post there. Like you said, with their namers in full view. It's far more credible.

lol this is certainly not true. Anyone can post anything on there (and they very often do just that lol).

The average person posting on that page couldn't tell you the difference between man and zone coverage, regardless if several ex-players sometimes post on it.

I agree that some departures "mean more" than others. Wilson and Racanelli have a larger impact in leaving than Huot. Then, there's always departures whose portal entries would have just been cuts pre-portal. But, as I've noted, some impact players get well wishes whereas other impact players seem to be labeled quitters. In other words, even among impact players, there seems to be a bit of inconsistent treatment/perception from some. Just my thoughts.

"Mean more" seems to be very personal especially given some of the posts on e-griz! Take Hoops as an example, he was a f-em expect Wilson who he said was a friend. I personally think it's what we rationalize, I felt Wilson was gone because he contributed at such a high level and was certain to get offers. Still didn't like it but could see it, Racinelli on the other hand really left me with a disappointment, really liked how he played when he saw the field and felt he was going to be a leader next year. So I think its how emotionally invested we are ...

Agree…Honest question. Why do the moderators of this site allow people like this still to post? We could take a page from BN and immediately ban posters that are here just to cause trouble.

It’s honestly time to clean this site up. A ton of people come here to find real and legit info. Or discuss Griz football. There’s about 3-5 posters that all they do is talk shit or spread false news. We need to do better.

Very well could be. I'm admittedly very poor at allowing emotion to invade reason. I've gotten better at understanding those who do over the years, however. Example: remember the MT media contributor who rationalized the MSU OC's DUI by seeming to suggest it was a good thing he the first one out of the way (or some illogical BS)? It was obviously because he loves the Bobs and is not an objective contributor. So, perhaps treating two things differently based on who did them and how much you like them is what's at play in this situation. In short, rationalization based on emotion may be what a lot of people do, but that does not mean it makes logical sense.

It's more difficult to transfer in the spring? That's an interesting take that some how it becomes more difficult to transfer when it's exactly the same process. Have you ever tried getting out of a yearlong apartment lease in December that you signed in June? There will be players that signed with a team in December that will be cut after spring ball.

There are far fewer openings in spring. Not harder to transfer, but harder to find a good spot. You need to get out more.

Very rarely do emotion and logic get uttered in the same breath...!

There are three dudes who post on there that I went to high school with, and I'm pretty sure they use speak to text because I will never be convinced they are literate. None of them even played high school football, either. I don't often recognize ex player names, and the ones that do post are usually in pretty direct opposition to ole' indiancoyote's point of view.

Leave it to coyote to call attention to another site that disagrees with him.

Stuber is not a trained journalist. He’s a bobcat apologist and unabashed fan of all things MSU. He should not be employed as a reporter for Skyline sports, he is biased beyond belief.

Stuber actually wrote for Helena Independent for a number of years. Yep I agree he is a Bobcat guy 100%. He is really a good guy though. Pretty funny in person.

:LOL: :LOL:

“A trained journalist”.
Show me ANY journalist out there today that’s not biased beyond belief.

There’s a lot of good journalists working in MT right now. Criticizing elements of their work is more than fair but these blanket assertions of bias aren’t particularly productive.

I’m married to a journalist. Who was a journalist for 20 years back when there were good journalists—back when journalists presented both sides of the argument and let the reader make up their own mind. There aren’t a “lot” of good journalists working anywhere anymore…90% of them have agendas and spew nothing but party propaganda (and that’s goes for both sides of the MSM).

Sooo…I’ll make all the blanket assertions I want.

Thanks though.
