such a report would only be possible if we were talking about Papa Q. Bear (of the Berenstain Bears)

We are 63% on the road since he has been here. Wouldn't that be a D minus? Is barely passing the same as "real solid"? Not only were those road wins over bad teams (Weber, UNC, UND, UCD, SuckSt, SD, MSU) but some grizzly magic was needed too. Our record against "good" teams must be "real solid" too.
I guess that with great age comes a great disconnect?
With a typical schedule of 6 home 5 road games, winning 63% on the road and 90% at home works out to 9-2/8-3 on the season. Is that not a pretty solid record? For myself I don't feel the road record has been a problem, it is losing too many at home that has been an issue. Then again I was looking for a pitchfork and torch the other day and I seem to have misplaced them so I could be off-base here.garizzalies said:But MickyD said, “For whatever reason, [the griz] played very well on the road since [he's] been here [and they are] a real solid road team.”AllWeatherFan said:7-5 is entirely possible with our road schedule

We were not talking about a solid overall record. But I agree, we should never lose a game in WaGriz. Period. That used to be a given but it has gone by the wayside, kinda like DOLA.Grizbeer said:With a typical schedule of 6 home 5 road games, winning 63% on the road and 90% at home works out to 9-2/8-3 on the season.

speth said:Here is my assessment of the schedule and probable win/loss record for 2014: The Griz have 6 home games and at this point are clear favorites to win each of those games. The Griz are also a clear favorite to beat North Dakota on the road. That's 7 likely wins. The odds of beating Southern Utah and Cal Poly on the road are about even in my view. So lets assume that they win one of those games (I am not thrilled that the Griz may only be an even bet to beat Southern Utah but it looks like they are a pretty good team). If all of the above happens the Griz have 8 wins. The other 3 games are tough (Wyoming, NDSU and EWU) and the Griz are definite underdogs in each of those games. The Griz have a chance against Wyoming with a new coach and a QB problem but they have lots of returning starters and we are on the road. I don't give the Griz much of a chance against NDSU in their dome and they have lots of returning starters. EWU dominated the Griz last year although we made it interesting at the end. This year I think we have a decent chance but it is still an uphill battle. So I think we go 8-4, which is a solid record when considering the strength of schedule.
And queue the, "but black isn't a school color" old fogey speech. Ps - love those griz gloves in your avatar! :thumb:pussycatkillerz said:havgrizfan said:in the new all-black uniforms and helmets.
I want to know what you know...
