Grading the 25-26 Griz Athletics Year

Come on man, we really don't need this from you guys lol

It was objectively a good season. Lots of things went well and I enjoyed a lot of the games. Very true.

Also true that I have not been more upset at the end of a Griz season in I don't know how long.

It fucking sucked.

I get that people want to police a little hyperbole from raw, upset Griz fans, but I don't think it's out of line for some people just being honest about how it made them feel.

"Some of you care too much", yeah cool, I'll square that away with all the cat fans who don't care too much yelling at me to go fuck myself and chanting ESGCGC while I was leaving your stadium lmao

I'm open to hearing this sort of criticism from other Griz fans who were there and experienced it, and who maybe didn't internalize the trauma like I did though haha

Fwiw, I wasn't referring to you, just some of the others. I totally understand the angst of losing. I've dealt with the streak, you don't know nothing lol.

Btw, hoping to be at Cat-Griz in Missoula next year. I'll buy ya a beer if we meet up.

Yeah I would bet dollars to donuts that if the positions were exactly reversed, our illustrious friend would not be saying what he's saying.

I promise you I would.

I think one can be disappointed with how a season ended and say it was a good season overall.

But, c'mon. You're acting like Cat fans aren't familiar with what it's like to lose to their rivals in humiliating and soul crushing ways. I promise you, I've been there more than you lol.

No, I get it. And I don't even think you're wrong necessarily here, there are surely Griz fans being a little too pessimistic about last season. I just really don't need to see this sort of shit coming from a cat fan right now, and I'd circle the wagons on any downer Griz fan when you guys start saying they're being dramatic lmao

And yeah, that'd be dope. I had a great time tailgating the last two years in Bozeman and would love to hang at the next Brawl here.

But thats not the definition of mediocrity. We are not a poor or below average team. We finished above 97% of the FCS, only losing to one team all year who happened to be the eventual champions. Yes, we certainly fell short of expectations which i guess is where you are confused with labeling us mediocre.

Do you know what they call second place? First loser. That's the mentality the Griz need to win the damn thing. It's the mentality you need to win a national championship. Everything outside of winning the national championship is a mediocre season. If you've ever been around really successful people, that's their mindset and how they operate.

Anyone who's spent time around Dave Dickenson knows what I'm saying is the truth. He wouldn't let anyone be satisfied with anything but their best everyday and anything but a national championship was a mediocre season.

But why would you care what such a mediocre coach thinks about winning and losing? Dude has only won ONE title in his nearly 10 years in the CANADIAN league! Thats such a terrible washed-up league compared to the NFL. He should be winning every title every year because that is his mindset and only his mindset and no other teams or fanbases are capable of winning in such an awful no-talent league.

How’d I do?

So you're saying Super Dave only had 1 non-mediocre season in his illustrious career as a Griz? And only 1 QB in each division has a non-mediocre season every year? Sounds pretty questionable to me.

Agreed, we are far overdue for a championship. Thats still not the definition of mediocre. Its hard to believe that really successful people are all confused on what the definition of mediocre is. Is our school system that bad we cant use English words properly? I know i cant but ive always thought i was an outlier. Is ALL of America, including you, as dumb as me?

The question is his understanding of the word mediocre. It clearly does not mean what he thinks it mesns.

You literally have no idea what mediocre means.

Also, such lofty expectations for a program with a mediocre history...

Two titles in the years of existence is a mediocre history when you compare it to the history of NDSU. Some people settle for mediocrity and some people strive for and achieve excellence. Which one are you?

Hey! We got two years we weren't mediocre! Is it ok to celebrate those two seasons or should i just be ashamed we've been a mediocre program for almost 99% of our existence.

Celebrate the two years and then realize we could/should have been celebrating 10+ more.

So everyone outside NDSU is mediocre.. I am the guy that knows the literal definition of mediocre.

Yes.

So does this analysis apply to other things in life as well? Like if your company doesn't have the highest profits in its industry, is it mediocre? If you aren't the top salesman in the country, are you mediocre? If you dont have the most posts on e-griz, are you mediocre?
