Links / convo: the 2025 season "autopsy" pod

[mthoopsfan]

Re Cito- This little old lady just listened to last 20 mins of the autopsy pod waiting for my Fosamax to settle. You guys give Haslam way too much credit. Any woman listening to your interview with Haslam in his office in the Fall, could hear Haslam's description of how he MANsplained to Coach Cito how using money to recruit a striker would be far superior to funding lighting for a winning soccer program like these two things were in any way equal.. I immediately thought, not only do you not Mansplain to a Man, you don't go on a popular show and broadcast that you did: not going to sit well with Cito. Fast forward to your show with the soccer coaches, Coach Cito made it a point -facetiously I thought- to thank Haslam and within a few days he left taking the team with him. Both clues to his departure right there on the show. Haslam should have listened to a winning coach and started with a living wage for a championship winner and used the momentum to push UM soccer forward. Total wasted opportunity for an AD.

I was told last summer that the UM athletic department is having to look and work hard for money. Costs keep going up.

Not an unreasonable position. Who’s interested in funding the 3-3-5 to the tune of a 4-9 record vs the only teams that matter in this subdivision?

I am. And I disagree that only one team matters. That’s a silly statement.

Explains why your posts are not 100%.

Do you believe that what you post on egriz matters at all to how the team performs?
If so, how?

The Bench Warmer apparently believes that what Griz/Bobby supporters say on egriz (and elsewhere) influence what UM football is doing. I don't know about Taber or Kem, but I don't think I have ever communicated with any athletic department person or head coach to express how I believe the football program should be run. My "influence" must come only or primarily from egriz. Doesn't answer your question to Kem, but it does touch on egriz "influence". I know that Kem, as a former player and long-time supporter/fan, knows alot of people in the athletic department and knows the coaches, so he probably does communicate his views to them at times.

I thought that was the purpose of eGriz. Is it not a direct link to the coaches and AD? Please don't tell me I've wasted all these years giving the coaches insight on how to properly run a football team.

So your villa is a time share at The Phoenician?

Man, they really do prey on the elderly when they sell those things.

Yes, 5 months per year. I got it at a huge discount from a friend, who had gotten it in a business transaction.

Podcasts take forever. I'm amazed people prioritize the time for them.

Because we can do more than one thing at a time. For me, with two really little kids that are up about half the damn night, I've got plenty of time to listen to a podcast.

What's lol?

I agree. Who wants to waste time listening to guys banter about stupid stuff? Jeez, just spit it out and move on. I find that many people on local podcasts seem to think everyone cares about and gets off on their silly banter. Perhaps egos slightly bigger than reality. With written stuff, one can skim through the boring and stupid stuff, and get to anything of substance or interest.
