Part of me really wishes Hoops wasn't banned again so that we have someone here loaded and ready to combat all of the negativity and trolling if the Griz lose. If these are starting now, I'm really not looking forward to the alpha/pickle victory lap if the Griz cannot pull it out.
Hoops got banned already? Dang that was fast. Contrary to the whiners, I have been negative a lot.
I have been a huge BH hater for years, because I was an idiot.
I got to thinking about the significant game losses, then started to think about the intangibles that ultimately Coach Hauck had no control over, that contributed
GREATLY to some most of those losses.
However, I still do have an issue with the "play not to lose " concept, or with the "Don't run up the score thing." I understand the ideal, and concept of sportsmanship.
I absolutely HATE that he takes the foot off of the gas when the Griz have a lead.
This has bit the Griz in the butt on more than one occasion.
If you don't want to get beaten by 50 or 60 points, then get better.
Don't call plays to kill the clock. How about putting 50 on the board before the 4th then let the 2's get the playing time, or try running some of the crazy plays a coach wants to try to see if they are effective against competition other than the practice squad. If the 2's score at will, then pop in the 3's. let them get some game time.
Not hating on BH just expressing the things that irritate me. I never wanted to lose by a little, if I lost, I wanted to be crushed. It just pissed me off if someone took their foot off the gas. I threw against a cat who demolished me for five years. I put in the work, and finally beat him. That felt good.
