That's because it is an actual stat. It has meaning because it is a real number.
It is so hilarious that you count "teams UM almost beat." The fact of the matter (warning, this is a statistic) is that the Griz didn't beat those teams. That's the end of the story. You're just being a sugar coating moron trying to explain away a bad season. What's next, are you going to tell us that the Griz are the best 5-6 team in the nation?
It wouldn't be a sport if someone didn't lose................just don't accept it and don't get used to it! If someone thinks losing is acceptable at any level they haven't truely stepped between the lines. In my humble opinion being in the same category as the losers is not acceptable for The Montana Grizzlies. Thats where we ended up so whoever is in charge needs to make the necessary steps to remedy it or we fall into the "getting used to it " category. We will become what we have tried to avoid!

It's not as simple as wins and losses when evaluating the talent of a team. Gametime does present a very troubling stat and it is indicative of how good our team was this year, but you have to evaluate how we played in all the games. 10 points is the most we lost by this year and we had a chance in every game. We were never blown out and were never dominated (except our secondary in some games). Point is we do have the talent on this team to beat anybody and contend for a championship, we just need a few more pieces to accomplish that.
Delaney came into a tough situation with brand new coorinators, freshmen QB with no playing experience, new CBs, both OTs as new starters at that position, and just a flat out young overall team. I know you guys aren't used to this, but this is a rebuilding year and we are in the middle of a rebuilding effort. We will be a better team next year and will be in the playoffs again, likely with Delaney as HC.
I guarantee you this, Delaney isn't locked in his office feeling sorry for himself and reading posts on egriz from fans about his career decisions. He and his staff are working hard on recruiting, getting the players ready for the spring, and building a strategy for next year. There isn't time to bitch and moan and contemplate staying or going. The very best thing our AD can do is to do everything he can to help Delaney be succesful, encourage him to stay one more year and transition things over smoothly with plenty of time to perform a nationwide search for a head coach without any gaps or distractions.

Haha not much of a silver linining but we beat a conference co-champion (Liberty) by 20.
...............and lost 4 other games to co-champs (App St, NAU, EWU, MSU) by an average of 8 :?
Come on PlayerRep, Jack, the Dartmouth ivy league educated, not….. perhaps an All-american although a pure American football player. That till today still knows more about the game than anybody alive, and is not the least bit tolerant of those that he does not agree with.
Affirmative Action is not the same in sports as it is in education,……there are winners and there are losers, almost don't count, almost is the loser. Credit for almost is to disguise self-pity to move on to the next loss.
There is not a coach worth his salt, that would want a athlete that plays for almost, nor would he recruit such an athlete.
Now, about this season and these athletes that played for the Griz, they are not losers, they were let down by their leaders, games lost IMO were not….. lost by the ability of the athletes, although by the decisions of their leaders.
It is correct, that saying that coach Delaney was handed a bad deal, by another incompetent leader, Royce Engstrom, however, only Delaney knew for sure if he was up to the job, and after all all, Engstrom decision was predicated more on keeping the team on the straight and narrow, then winning football games. Incidentally coach Delaney failed at that also, not to say that I agree with that in fact, for I feel that no coach can be held responsible for the actions of an athlete off the field, however, determination of discipline of that action is compulsory, harsh and immediate depending on the infraction, from suspension to being remove from the team.
You are living in denial, if you believe that next years season will be any different, without making changes to leadership. Thanks to Royce Engstom decision, IMO the Griz program will suffer, from recruiting, to donations, to finding a new leadership after coach Delaney's contract expires. This is not what I am hoping for, although I'm not living in denial.
Back to my old pal Jack, the want-a-be Player Rep, when you played for Dartmouth, Mary Queen Of Heaven gammer school, coach by Sister Mary Grace Patricia, and which I was a winning athlete on, along with three female athletes, would have kick Dartmouth ass,because we were winners, not almost good.

After Pflugrad's first year the combined record of teams we beat in 2010 was 19 and 36 (not counting Western States since they were a division lower). And that was with two seasoned senior QB's in Selle and Roper and Chase Reynolds returning at running back and two seniors on the O-line.
I am not real happy with this years results and especially with the way we lost games that we should have probably won. But look at what we went through in the off season, plus having to completly rebuild almost the entire defense and the offensive line, the QB situation and the overall youth of this years squad. The sky is not falling yet. GO Griz.

And you two blowhards are one of the very few Griz fans who make me feel no sympathy for what your program is going through right now.
