Coach Stitt (Combined threads)

[Grizzly96]

You keep bringing up the meltdown at the end of last season, losing to Bozeman, etc.... and you act like you are owed some kind of explanation or something. You are not....

Stop being a baby. This has been a troubled team. Since October, 2015, every trend has been negative. Unlike you, I want to see the Griz win, and their hard work pay off. Watching Amateur Hour unfold isn't it. You can be content with mediocrity. Many of the rest of us are not.

Babies are those that think they are owed a winning season from their team. We ALL want them to win!! I want them to win a notional title every year, but it ain't gonna happen!! I'm not content with mediocrity and if things don't improve soon a change will need to be made. If you feel it's amatuer hour then step up to the plate and coach the Griz, otherwise STFU. Don't ask of others what you can't do yourself.

No way this gets to 27 pages.....

A few losses and 117 pages is a possibility.

 

[EverettGriz]

75 losses perhaps?

 

[Grizzoola]

This is known as the "Gambler's Fallacy," that says future performance can be predicted on past performance. IOW, what has been a "trend" will either be or not be continued, based on metrics of past performance. In the game of Craps (dice), which I like to play, there are players who insist, despite the randomness of the game, that they can predict ("sense") when a favorable or unfavorable trend is about to begin or end.

You're confusing games of chance with games of skill.

Valid point! But, if football is a game of skill, does it not mean, all the more, that past performance does not guarantee future performance? That football is not a random game, but can be affected by many factors? I still maintain that your dire position on this program is irrelevant, altho I respect many things you say on this board.

Whether events occur because of randomness or because of skill, I still maintain there's enough randomness in sports competitions to validate The Gambler's Fallacy."

I began pointing out this team's deteriorating circumstances in October, 2015. I was skeptical at that point that three D2 coaches could transition.

Now, after much bluster from the usual crew, we have finished 8th, had the worst season in 30 years, one D2 coach has been fired, lost to the Cats in their worst season in ages in OUR house, the Head Coach has publicly conceded it hasn't "worked," and is reviewing the whole program as we speak.

Just a lucky set of coincidences, right?

It could be said that with some coaches in charge, football is a game of chance.

My, you are as persistent as you are arrogant, impatient, and wrong.

In 2012 the Griz went 5-6 overall and 3-5 in the Big Sky. Their win pct. that year was .455. They lost to the Cats 16-7 in a game where they gained just nine first downs. IN 2016, the Griz went 6-5 with a win pct. of .545. Statistically speaking, as you like to use so often, I don't really see how last year, by pure wins and losses, could be considered the WORST season in 30 years.

I think what 75 means, excuse if I may, that a meltdown like what happened is unprecedented in the history of GRIZ football .

Led by our own NFL-touted QB, but losing to a Cat team quarterbacked by a freshman kid who can't throw the ball, a Cat team that had won only one game all season, and losing to them in Missoula in front of over 25,000 fans, has its own special quality, "statistically speaking."

Wrong again. But don't let stats get in the way or anything. MSU won four games last year. Three before they played the Griz. Did the Cats suck last year? Yes, I'm not arguing that one single bit. I'm not implying the Griz were much better last year either. But that's now two posts today where your statistical information was dead wrong, and in most of your posts you blast people for arguing with you saying you use statistical data to back up your arguments and statements.

The Cats won just two conference games last year. Conference record, 2-6, .250.

You were wrong enough last year to have earned a permanent silence. Remember how many times you were so confident and cocky about various things you were always so quick to bet "paycheck to paycheck," and then never paid up when you lost, which you usually did?

Look above at the bolded statement you made. You NEVER used the words conference games. You said: had won one game all year. Look, I've stopped arguing with you. Others haven't. Your ban was lifted. You're free to post whatever the hell you want. But, on this one, you said the Cats won only ONE GAME, not one conference game. It's that simple. You want to backtrack and say something else, again, that's your right. But, initially, you said ONE GAME. The end.

You're like a little kid. I always use conference stats. It doesn't tell me anything if a conference team lost or won to Podunk State. I know, it means the world to you. Well, that's all anyone really needs to know.

Haha. You're right. There's only one measuring stick. The 75 measuring stick. I guess Eastern Washington beating Pac 12 bowl teams in Oregon State and Wazzu wouldn't ever tell you anything about how good they were. Instead, you would only deduce how good EWU was those years by the beatdowns they put on UC Davis and Sac State, you know, since those were "conference" games and all.

That's like the weirdest and most arbitrary metric I've ever heard of. No team at any level only uses conference record. And the Big Sky is full of Podunk States. That's what the FCS is. And how could you tell how good a team, nationally speaking, is by only going off their conference record. What a moron.

No, I just said it doesn't tell me anything I need to know, but it is a nice consistency you have to try and change the subject from who the Cats actually played "non-conference," Bryant and Western Oregon, to teams they didn't play -- Oregon State and Wazzzuuu! While you're at it, how about the Green Bay Packers?

Use whatever measuring stick you want; I was pointing out that I generally rely on conference stats, so that the data pools are similar, and the data sets comparable from year-to-year.

Ok, that was a little too far. I'll admit that and I am sorry. However, you need get it through your head that not everything you do is right. I'll go back to only using conference schedule, as an example. You are literally the only person I have encountered who uses that. And based on the reaction from other people, I'm not the only one who felt like that. And frankly, it makes no sense, because you are excluding games that took place, and are counted by the NCAA towards playoff eligibility and statistics. If you have a problem with that, take it up with Mark Emmert.
