Coach's show?

[EverettGriz]

You seem somewhat educated, but really weird, and probably socially odd as f***.

 

[George Ferguson]

Direct quote from Stitt on the Coaches Show: "The defense just goes out and does their job and and doesn't talk about, how come you're not scoring points."

This is what Grizgirl quoted Stitt as saying. He actually said Stitt said this: "thanks to the defense keeping quiet, it kept our offense off the field where we would have had a turnover and lost the game."

Hmmmm interesting.

And I'll address something else that's interesting. People say anytime Stitt talks about unity, he's taking a direct jab at Ty. He might very well be. And if he is, yeah, at this point, I think that's kinda dumb, considering TG coaches for another team, and really, the past is over in that regard. BUT, what isn't fair about any time Stitt brings up team team unity is he gets no credit for praising his players for being the team he's asking them to be. Grizgirl wants press releases from Stitt thanking ex-players who quit on their team, thanking construction workers for working so fast to install the new turf, thanking Mo for his four years of service, ect, ect, but when Stitt goes on record as praising his guys for them becoming a team, which is not always the case in athletics, he gets hammered and accused of being petty.

Again, and PLEASE read this part, for those of you who say Stitt is taking shots at Ty, I'm not disagreeing with you and saying he isn't. I don't presume to know Stitt well enough to know the facts. I'lll let you guys that know Bob Stitt better than me make that determination. But when he says he likes his team chemistry, his team unity, and his players constantly back him up in AJ's stories and on the TV and radio interviews by saying the unity is different this year, a phrase that's been thrown out so far by way more current players, than by Stitt himself, then Stitt deserves credit for praising his guys for doing that.

The fact that you still claim the "problem did not exist" shows how delusional you are. Like I said, "how can anyone deny it at this point?"

Nobody, not even the players, knew about this problem last year. Now, "how can anyone deny it?"

That's delusional.

The fact is, real or not, trying to burnish your own image by constantly bringing up the past, is simply not appropriate. Look forward. That's where your reputation will be earned, not fabricated.

Use press conferences and coach shows to promote the positive, not denigrate the past.

So it seems like you are at least admitting there was a problem last year. That's a good first step. Now, how can you say nobody knew of the problem last year? Fans might not have known the specifics but there was at least some evidence, including Semore's increased role later in the season, TG getting shit-canned, and now all the comments by the coaches about it in the media. What evidence do you have?

Here was the problem. UM lost got beat by Cal Poly and Weber, games they should have won; got clobbered by PSU (a good team); and got clobbered by NDSU (a really good team). I will leave it to you to explain what caused the problem. Are you going to start with your view that the defense was sometimes mean to the offense during games? Is that the primary cause, in your view?

As noted several times already, "the point" was to answer the ground swell of questions from Griz nation re why the O was so conservative vs UNI.

Because "last year ...?" WTF does "last year" have to do with it?

If "the O was conservative on Saturday because last year the team was divided" is really an "answer" then Stitt has a problem. Not just "small" and "unnecessary" but "incoherent."

I don't think your convolutions trying to 'splain are doing much 'splainin. Rather, drilling a hole.

Maybe the play-calling got conservative because the team is more united this year. Or, maybe the team is more united last Saturday because the offense didn't fail to convert on 4th down as much and didn't turn the ball over.

Holy shit. You seem somewhat educated, but really weird, and probably socially odd as f***. When I read your posts, I can't help but think of that Simpsons episode where Homer gets bonked on the head and starts wearing a monocle and talking all fancy and people think he's actually intelligent, at least on the surface (it didn't last).
So, I'll try to keep this simple (again!). There is a dramatic change from last year to this year and not just on the D. This change is most obvious in the attitudes of the players, and all the talk from multiple coaches about team unity. It seems to be a theme this year. For instance, have you read the other thread about how our players seem to play with more class this year? And the stupid Jolly Roger flag is gone? Well, the change is not limited to attitude or even the D; it has spilled over into the offensive game planning and actual strategy on game day. I don't believe that was the case last year, but it seems to be the case at least so far this year

Huh, team unity has spilled over into "offensive game planning and actual strategy on game day". I am all for team unity, but I had no idea that team unity could be so positive and powerful.

Okay, that's great. But I'm not sure that's saying much else other than the defense is quiet and does its job or means much else. I don't think it means that if the defense isn't quiet, they don't do their job. Nor I wouldn't think it means that if the defense isn't quiet, the offense gets hurt and doesn't do their job. Or feel free to tell us what else it means.

This is for G. Responses to his questions/comments, in brackets.

Does anyone (other than PR/75) miss Traitorak? I don't [Lots of people in Griz nation liked TG and thought he was a good coach and good guy. So, in that sense, lots of people "miss" him.]

Does anyone think Stitt misses Traitorak? I don't [I agree with you.]

Does anyone ever want to sit back in a 4-3 base all game long again? I don't [It depends on the game and the other team. A 4-3 doesn't just sit back. UM blitzed and brought pressure frequently in recent year out of the 4-3.]

Does any one want to have the bend-over-and-take-it defense again? I don't [UM didn't have like that of defense. You obviously weren't watching the games.]

Does anyone think Traitorak caused friction between the D and O last year? I do and I don't see how anyone can deny it at this point. [I don't know, and don't know how you could possibly know.]

Although he may not have "encouraged it," does anyone think TG went out of his way to discourage it? I don't [I don't know, but glad to see that you admit that he probably didn't encourage it.]

Does anyone think the friction/disunity or whatever the f*** you wanna call it, may have contributed to the outcome of some game(s)? I do. [No, I don't.] I think it must have been bad enough that TG was sent packin and we're still hearing about it a year later. [Let's hear more about how TG was sent packin. What are you specifics? Do you think Haslam was excited when TG told him he was leaving and going to MSU. Answer: no, he was apparently pissed.]

Does anyone really still wonder why the team and not just the D looks improved this year? I don't [I do wonder. I don't think the team looks better, at least yet. UM beat NDSU in the first game last year. Sorry, but the first game didn't look like that, and the second game didn't compare either, in my view. The offense is still struggling. The D looks good. The team seems to have nice potential. So far so good, but better than last year--not yet in my view.]

I was thinking the same thing but didn't want to break the run. I think it happened a few years ago but can't remember who...seems like it was an EWU troll but not sure?

Great question. I do know that Jodcon holds the record for number of times a single post was edited - 75. Put me down for a 7 5/8 beret & a case of peach Stoli. Now you know why I over-think things.

 

[Grizbeer]

I was kind of listening and not watching, but I think Coach Stitt also said there are more way than 2 worlds - there is Earth, Earth2, Smirth, and Florida

Oh it feels so good to laugh...thank you

:thumb: but I don't know why they host the coaches show from a car at a drive in?

i recognize PR and 75 arguments, staples of the flat-earthers.

I believe that Jodcon also holds the record for the most times a single post was edited while drunk on single malt. That record however has an asterisk because he was simultaneously also drinking rum. I'm sure this blemish will be overlooked by the Hall of Fame Voters.

That kinda seems like total bullshit to me - I mean, everyone knows rum gives you a double vision so you make typing mistakes, then single malt sets your mind straight to fix them. That would be like throwing 420 in the same category when he is still trying to edit posts from last week. Not even a fair contest.

Hard to argue with that logic, Beers!

I just kept thinking of one more thing to add for the next hour, it takes time to prepare the perfect filibuster.

What's the egriz record for consecutive non-substantive posts by the same poster? I think you have it.
