Not as funny as you thinking that a different team from a different year is more indicative than the current team in the current year. No, a win in Pokey is certainly not a given, but as someone who played the game, I would hope you can see that this year's team responded to challenges and adversity on the road last week better than they did at any point last season.
One more thing, Hauck's 2009 team that nearly went 15-0 barely got out of Pokey with a win against a winless ISU team. Winning games on the road is hard, regardless of who is at the helm.

Sorry but to say the team hasn't proven they can go on the road and win a game they should win when they did the previous week is a failure of 3rd grade level logic, especially coming from someone "who played the game". It isn't proof that they can consistently do it, the way good teams do -- but I haven't seen anyone yet make that claim. The fact that they won is a perfectly valid reason to be optimistic that they can do it again. I think that is where a lot of -- if not the majority of -- Griz fans are at the moment, optimistic. Relax. We get to find out next Saturday where the Griz are in their progress to "consistently winning on the road". BTW - When they win again I realize that at least one brainiac in this forum will claim that winning two games in a row on the road won't in any way suggest consistency in spite of the fact that no one will claim it does.

Maybe that's a good thing. We (my wife and I) go back a about quarter century in following the Griz ... but there are many on here who have been around a whole lot longer. I believe they will back me on this: In the "glory days," some of the best UM football teams earned the nickname "Cardiac Griz." Because the Griz always had a target on their back, the opponents "played out of their minds" and made the games tough -- home or away (but especially away). It was extremely nerve-wracking, but we kinda got used to the notion that the games might come down to the wire.brewskis said:
That was one of the worst played and coached Griz games I've ever watched. Hauck decided to run a play with the Griz at the 2 yard line down 12-10 with just seconds on the clock rather than kick a PAT length FG for the win. Of course, they got a hands to the face call making it instead a 33 yarder for McKnight, which he fortunately squeezed juuuuuust inside the right upright.

As I said, I didn’t go into the game thinking the Griz should win at PSU, so it didn’t show that this team should win the games it should on the road. Winning really tough games on the road is a different category. Talk about not understanding logic. Jeez, did you get through third grade?
