Unless you believe that playing the senior gets you into the playoffs, you play the younger guys, maybe even all of them to see what you got. I wouldn't turn to Brown.
7-4 doesn't get us into the playoffs - we'll be out with only 6 D1 wins. So, we can only lose two more games or we're watching in Nov.3-7-77 said:
The team I watched today can't do that. The best version of the team I've seen this year...... maybe, but I doubt it. The loss today was crushing.

I haven't had a chance to watch the game, I had a wedding today, but I'll watch in the morning. I'm trying to remain my usual positive self about the Griz, but obviously this sucked. The one thing I would say in response to who this team is supposed to beat, and we just recently beat the team that beat NAU. Was this fucking awful to have to see creeping by when I checked the score and popped on the game day thread? Yes. Will it suck to watch it fresh tomorrow? Also yes. But we have beaten one team that beat NAU.
All we can do is hope this was our worst performance of the year, and maybe things started clicking for NAU today. They shouldn't have been as bad as they had been, but we also should not have come close to losing this game. There is soul searching in order for the program and fans, but we literally just beat a team that handled NAU, so we CAN beat some teams. We have one get right game at home. I'm taking my in-laws, and hopefully this team finds their footing.

I can be accused of many things, but failure to man up and take my medicine is not one of them. Though I stand by what I said about previously not hearing it from people in real life, I certainly heard a lot of dissatisfaction today. In person and via text from people who are huge Griz fans. I can absolutely admit that and acknowledge it.

And I don't blame anyone for being this disgusted and disappointed, we looked like dog-sh-it, especially on offense and I got nothing from Bobby in his post game that addresses he will fix or change anything

Do you have a link? I can't find it, and I'd like to be even more disappointed before I go to bed.

I can berate and humiliate you for a few minutes if that will help. $30 per minute tho.
No problem, fair prices. As I often tell my wife, hey, one minute is a long time.

I'm just going to keep it simple. From the beginning of fall camp, the HC said the starting QB would be based on play. The first game #7 shot his load on the 2nd play, scored and basically struggled the rest of the first half. Then #17 came in a problem played 1 1/2 quarters and rushed for 80 yards and scored and had the offense moving.
2nd game, they start #17 and the offense scored on its first 3 possessions and had 4 or 5 TDs by half if I'm not mistaken and the Griz were cruising to victory. #17 also went 7/10 passing. #7 went in and played a little bit and the offense was once again stagnant and unable to get first downs.
3rd game came around and you would think that after #17 performance with the offense, he would be the starter or at the very least play one half. Nope, #7 played the whole game and the offense basically struggled most of the game.
Then coming into this game, #7 played the whole game and once again struggled to get the offense going. #17 came in for a 2 plays and he rushed for 9 yards and the offense scored on the very next play.
By play alone after the first 2 games, #17 should be the starter. If you watch all the game tape, he gets the offense moving and the chains moving as well.
And for you guys saying playing a senior doesn't make sense is just idiotic. Not to mention he has 2 years of eligibility left. Either way the best player should play and his play has been better then #7. It's not the play calling because when #17 is in the game, the plays and offense gets first downs and move the ball and he doesn't take sacks and is able to get out of the pocket.

I needed some too, and I'm glad it got a chuckle for you.
I think I was too sober earlier. A few drinks in now, and I'm telling myself it is a long season. Really perking up. :lol:
