We all know Hauck’s statement was the ultimate troll job, right?

Disagree. I don't think you know him as well as you think you do. Factor in some maturity and experience that gives him a different view of the landscape.

Still intense. Still hates the cats as a team one week per year. But maybe aging out of the literal hostility. I personally approve!

:lol:

I don’t know him at all.

Fact is, just as CDA said, I don't know him apart from one or two short conversations, and his public persona, same as most everyone. It's a figure of speech.

What I do know though, and other people notice it too, is that his demeanor has changed some since he left. He echoed the sentiments again on the Coach's show last night when Riley asked about it. I'm well aware of his reputation for sandbagging, deliberately misleading on certain points, etc., but in my estimation this is not that.

Of course I could be wrong, just calling it like I see it.

Do you have any other points to make or rationale to dispute the point? If not feel free to just pull a sentence out of my post and re-post it. That's cool too.

all i know of kem is that in the past, some of his statements, which echo right-wing pundit statements, have struck me as offensive to large swaths of people, with little logic behind them. he often makes pronouncements that are opinion, but he makes them sound like they are facts he knows. but none of that is unusual. what is unusual is his incredibly entitle behavior regarding the retaining or firing of stitt. he claims to support um as a whole, and football players as griz first, but made it conditional on whether a football coach was retained for another year, or not. he makes cartman sound reasonable.

i can think of different possible definitions of what a 'representative of griz/um, and in some ways i'd probably be considered a good representative, in some ways, not so much, especially since i have no desire to play the role of a representative of um. fan and supporter, yes, representative, no.

I'm assuming you think Kem can do whatever he wants with his money or other means to support, correct?

Why is it your business? Would you feel the same if he stopped contributing because he disagreed with the University President or a UM policy?

People vote with their checkbooks or feet all the time.

Don't understand why this chaps your ass so much.

it wouldn't have been anyone's business than him, had he not flaunted his position on egriz.

the reason it bugs me is complicated, but big part of the reason is because in my view, it is the epitome of entitled behavior by someone who claims superior rationality.

Kem is not entitled in any respect. argh, your reaction or statement is more about you than Kem. Kem is a very loyal and devoted fan. He played for the Griz back in the day. Neither you nor I did.

I recall what he said about Stitt. Can you find and post it? I too wouldn't have said that, is my recollection.

You have never reacted well to me either, even thought I treated you well and invited you to our box once. Then you dissed me.

I think you have a serious deficiency with people. I know about you from knowing 3 of your high school friends.

On the other hand, I have come to understand you a bit better and appreciate you, a bit. I would guess you might feel the same way about me.

You are obviously a Griz fan, even tho usually a critic. You come back for more. I occasionally notice a substantively good football post, and am surprised.

I think you and Kem could be friends on egriz or at least tolerate each other. I think Kem is a chem phd from AZ St, but might wrong. Yes, he is more conservative than you.

In any event, both you are loyal to UM and very interested in Griz football.

since this thread is mostly derailed anyway, i'll respond a bit. i'm pretty sure i know the three people who were in my high school that you know. my guess is a lawyer, engineer, and a banker. high school was a very long time ago, and i had some circumstances to deal with that they wouldn't know about. if it is the three i am thinking, i wouldn't say i knew them well at all, or them me. more superficially. nowadays, we don't really know each other at all, haven't for years. personality-wise, the lawyer was probably the most like me of the three, pretty cynical. toughest guy to play basketball against in the 'hood, he was like the larry bird of the playground. anyway, i wouldn't claim to really have known them much even then, again other than superficially. all things considered, i wouldn't consider their analyses as even remotely informed.

i've actually long had some respect for you, because you are unapologetically yourself, and often say stuff i agree with - which i always try to note here, when i do agree. disagree with some stuff, and if i find something silly or whatever, i obviously say so, too. you give others a hard time and are often judgmental, but so am i, so i will respond in-kind, in the same way, unapologetically myself. don't remember ever asking about you off-line, except maybe with green74 in the early 2000's.

as for kem, he's never come across in ways i have much respect for, and, as noted above, i can have some respect people i don't agree with, if they deserve it. also, don't see how one can claim to support um, but will drop it entirely (not just football), based on a single coach who's sin is not winning enough in a relatively short period of time.

sorry for the novel.

If/when your UNLV drop-down coach disallows your players from wearing FTC in black marker on their arms during Cat-Griz games, I might believe he is being genuine. But probably not and I doubt it will happen.

Eh had a Bobcat and “friend” try to shove me down the steps of WaGriz, but I’m not worried I‘ll throw him out of the litter box at some point.

If/when your Post Falls HS move-up coach finishes his chicken nuggets and mini corn dogs, he might get a treat. For decades, scholars have debated if it's possible for someone to make Coach Orgeron seem like Frasier Crane. Those scholars are now retired.

This has been an interesting read. Still a little disappointed that it seems to be slowing down to the point that it won’t make it to 17 pages or get locked by the MODs

Cut him some slack. He worked on that for hours, possibly days.

Oh hell yeah, because all head coaches inspect the arms of each player before football games. BH is smarter than to waste his time on that. He's going to hire the license plate people from Montana MVD to check all bodily abbreviations against the forbidden letter combinations database to be sure that Cat fans won't be offended. No worries, everyone knows that FTC means "For The Championship". I read it on eGriz so it is true.

Why would anyone care about something like that. Man, you must be a wussie. Hauck was talking about some fans, not players.

Jeepers. I feel like I'm in a group. This is one of the weirdest threads I've ever seen on this forum. It starts with Champ being a creeper to places to eat in Bozack and Missoula to questioning Griz fandom. Football is supposed to be a distraction from the realities of daily life. I'm going to go to the game, Sneak into Dick Anderson's private tailgate, get soused and cheer on the team I've been a lifelong fan for!!!

GO GRIZ! FTC

Nobody starts a post with "Jeepers".

NOBODY. :twisted: :twisted:

Excactly. The fans have taken the usual college football pettiness to an unhealthy height. There is a certain line of decorum that has sadly been crossed too often, and by both Gri and cat fans.

He was 100% trolling. He got Cat fans riled up just like he intended

I believe that happened during Stitt's stint. Hauck would never let his players use the abbreviation; he'd make them spell it out in its long form. No shortcuts, you know
