Have the Griz ever made the playoffs without winning the conference?
Has the quality of the conference ever been better than last season?
Has the Big Sky ever gotten 5 teams into the playoffs two years in a row?
Have the Griz ever won a national championship without playing a D-II team?
Has there ever been a bigger fraud on egriz than you?
If you switched us playing MSU and Weber for NAU and UNC, do you think we would've still gone 4-4 in conference? Give us MSU or Idaho's conference schedule, and we finish at least one game better, if not two, depending on how we do against UC Davis.AZGrizFan said:
This is why I don't give a shit about where we finish in the conference standings, unless we win it, which nowadays is much more a function of who you play than necessarily being the best team. 2019 was the only year since 2015 where the conference winners played each other or the 2nd place team(s).
You guys focus on that 6th place finish way too much.
Edit: Wanna mention, certainly not downplaying losing those 4 games. It sucks and wasn't good enough. I just don't give a shit how it compares to Idaho going 6-2 in conference when they didn't play Weber or MSU.

Correct the unbalanced scheduling is an absolute joke. It’s funny because I have bobcat buddies who are somewhat freaking out about their schedule this upcoming year, and you can see a lot of cats fans on social media talking about their brutal schedule. I’m like “hello, this is exactly the type of gauntlet the Griz had this past season”. This may have had SOMETHING to do with the 6th place finish everyone keeps alluding to

No one disagrees with what you said. However, finishing 6th doesn't undercut or demean what the Griz accomplished, i.e. making the playoffs, getting a home game, winning a playoff game, and being ranked 14th in the nation. Why can't you see the big picture? Are you a dumbass or a troll, or both?

Unless you see the past season as a giant success, it does undercut it because as a whole they achieved far less than their goals and what was expected of them. What UM accomplished last season was below the standard of Griz Football. Period.

I’ve asked multiple times now but each bubtroll ignores which home game they are looking forward to the most.
Their silence speaks volumes.
Hardest game is ewe. I would be pissed if I were a season ticket holder.
People probably think I’m making this up but they play some school called the Stetson Hatters. No shit.

Not laying blame on any one specific person, or personnel unit. It was a general statement. That being said, the think it would be good to take the average age of the coaching staff down a little by hiring some youngers coaches. All the best to those two guys though.

You are talking nonsense. The conf. finish doesn't undercut the accomplishments of the end of the season in any respect. No matter what you try to say, the Griz got into the playoffs, won an existing game at home, and finished 14th in the nation.

The conference finish in the big sky dictates things like being seeded or not seeded, being afforded home games as apposed to playing in the road. The physical act of winning the conference is doesn't make the impact, but it's what comes with it does. The season would have ended differently had the Griz played better in conference, thus had an easier playoff schedule, likely had more home games against weaker apponents. They likely would have gone farther and ended up ranked higher. Just because the Griz got to the playoffs while placing 6th in the conference doesn't mean there wasn't a far easier road. Materially, I get the a conference championship might not mean a lot, but winning it puts you in a far better position to succeed in the postseason, and saying that is not an absolute fact is just wrong.

Actually, the conference rank doesn’t affect any of that. It’s the number of games won, and lost, strength of schedule, and who you played. The selection committee doesn’t look at conference rank.
No one disagrees with the rest of you post. I said that multiple times since day 1
Again, conf rank doesn’t diminish what the Griz accomplished. People who try to use conf rank as a way to diminish what the Griz accomplished don’t understand football and are basically football idiots, in my view.
Isn't it weird how the windshields tend to win the conference a lot more often than the bugs.AZGrizFan said:
