Kemp

[EverettGriz]

Meh. I don't think Kemp makes a big impact on the team anyways, he's really athletic but I just don't see him doing much. I think he's gonna be pissed off if he doesn't get the QB job, and he definitely won't get the QB job.

a disgruntled prima donna should be good for moral :thumb:

Geez, you're a freaking tool. You'll wish for ANYthing that might give your cats some of hope of staying within 40 of the GRIZ. Too bad it never works out for ya.

Well, maybe one these centuries....

It is great news, GK is back on the team, regardless of his role/position. My hope is he stays healthy, and a major contributor in the offense. I would love to see him in similar role to how Villanova used Szczur (sp?), or Sam Houston used their most athletic player, last year.

Had Kemp not messed up his shoulder, it looked to me the offense was gradually adding to Kemp's role, in many aspects. I hope the coaches continue the trend with GK this year. Seriously, some people need to know a little about coaching, regardless of sport. There are some personalities that need challenged, and pushed, to find their best level.

Here is the good, and bad of what happened this summer, with Kemp. He got disciplined for how he went about his frustrations, and concerns. The door was left open for his return, because of him being concerned enough to talk to the coaches about whatever it was. Some coaches need to know, and find out, how much a player cares. What they do not want in a veteran player, is someone just going with the flow. They want someone who cares enough about the team, willing to sacrifice, and even at times ask what he/she needs to do for more time, or to help the team. This is what Kemp did, unfortunately, I am guessing Gerald got more frustrated, when the coaches could not give him a straight answer in his role. A lot of which likely had to do with JJ's status. I think GK took that as being given the runaround, which was not intended. Kemp's frustration turned to a little attitude, and some words were said that came out wrong. After calmer heads prevailed, Mick told him, he was heard, and here is what the coaches know now. Think about these things Gerald, we understand your frustration, here is what we expect from you, here is what we need from you, etc. The door is "open" , and you are welcome to be a GRIZ. We need your answer by the time camp begins.

I am sure what happened this summer, is very close to how it played out. The parties have moved on, and I sure wish some of our fans would do the same.

Speaking of fans, honestly to GOD, how is GK a "thug"? He has one questionable run in with police, from a party that was too loud. He then comes forward to talk to his coaches about what areas he can focus on in the off season. Due to circumstances, was not given an honest specific answer, got frustrated, and things came out wrong.

Christ sakes, if those things are reasons to term someone a thug, we have a lot more thugs in this world than anyone knows. So, let me ask, if anyone gets warned by the police about a party being too loud, a cop has some misjudgement, and things happen. I know many people who have questioned a cop's opinion of things.

Example, several years ago, I am heading west on I 90. In my rearview mirror, I see cop lights about 1/4 mile back. I am in the left lane, a semi is in the right lane. I speed up to get ahead of the semi, with my turn signal on. The semi driver flashes his lights, and blows his horn okaying me to get in the right lane, to let the cop by. Just after that, the same cop gets right behind me, and pulls me over. The cop comes to my car, I rolled down the window, and asked the cop, "what is wrong, what did I do?" He told me, "you were speeding and cut off that semi." I told the cop, "Sorry officer, you are mistaken. I thought you were on your way to something else, I sped up to let you by, and the semi driver flashed me, I was clear to get in his lane." The cop tells me, "you are right, I was on my way to a reported incident, but another cop responded." Without any intentional offense to the officer, I said something like, "So, instead you decide to pull me over to get out a cops way in responding, that is wrong."

Anyway the cop did not care, he issued me a ticket for speeding, careless driving, and some other bogus charge regarding my attitude with the cop. I was very pissed, after he gave me tickets, and court information, I told him "You can bet on me challenging these charges, you will see me in court." He gave me some rude as remark too. I remembered which Trucking company (Jones) truck I passed. I called them, they verified who the driver likely was at the around that time, and date. I called Prepaid Legal about this. A week later, everything was thrown out.

If I had been a GRIZ athlete, under the same circumstances, some of you would think I am a thug, yet no criminal record, ever? So, is everyone who has been to a loud party when in our late teens to early 20's, are we all thugs?

I do not expect everyone to like Gerald Kemp, or even give him the benefit of the doubt. Using the "thug" term is crossing the line, and not right. Ironic enough, if he has a good, or better Senior year, how many will be praising him? Would it not be easier to just wish him the best? Then again, that is asking too much for some here.

Kemp is in camp, but according to Delaney in the Missoulian, he'll be playing WR. Not to say they won't have some wildcat plays for him, but someone else will be the starting QB this year. Maybe two someone elses, at least early on.

FINALLY! Someone had realized this. I have posted several times now that Kemp is listed as WR, but everyone just glazes over that.

It was a yes or no question. Stop trolling.

 

[granitegriz]

Hopefully Kemp (WR) and Moore (HB/FB) will be on the field for a majority of the offensive plays. TM is the guy at QB to set up a NC for next year when the defense will be very experienced and solid. JJ, as a true freshman and as they were going to burn his redshirt anyway, should have played over Roper for the same reasons. JJ will be back though to compete with TM at some point...end of story.

you'd have to ask many of them but i doubt that's true. i know it's not for me. i was just pointing out that 110 times out of 111 we have kept it within 40 so i'm right....

oke:

 

[TheTruth]

GK is a playmaker bottom line. Im sure the staff will put him to use in multiple formations. QB,WR,RB....with the inexperience at QB we must put the ball in the playmakers hands and let them lead!!!

Glad to hear he is back with the team...to all the Cat fans and other Big Sky conference team fans writing this GRIZ team off and believe me they are...IT IS ONE BIG MISTAKE! they will be ready and motivated to win another Title!!


GO GRIZ :thumb:

 

[argh!]

The cop tells me, "you are right, I was on my way to a reported incident, but another cop responded." Without any intentional offense to the officer, I said something like, "So, instead you decide to pull me over to get out a cops way in responding, that is wrong."

Anyway the cop did not care, he issued me a ticket for speeding, careless driving, and some other bogus charge regarding my attitude with the cop.

so he thought about it, agreed with you, and you basically called him an asshole anyway, or claim to have, and now blame him for your ticket? calm down, dude, you recently wrote:

"I have heard other things from people around Missoula, which I am keeping off the message boards. JJ's defense will have a lot of Aces, and wildcards up their sleeves, to use. If, they have to use those cards, that girl, and her family better be preparing for some very harsh things to come out, in this case.".....

just calm down. talk to sunny for a while, and stay away from greenie. fear mr. titleless, and welcome clarkestreetmusicccc. enjoy the ci-tay, and spew the alpo. et cetera. dot dot...

Might as well try that, if he can't pitch the ball out, maybe he can catch it.

He played WR last season.

So....... We now know where Delany stands on team dicipline, hes off, no he can maybe come back, he is back on once JJ is gone. :lol:

Its all good though, Delany needs to meet the thug quota on the team :thumb:

For those of you who do not speak 2506ese - let me translate. You bastard Grizzlies continue to be a total pain in my a%$. Every single time I think my losing, miserable, underperforming cats have a chance - you just have to ruin it for me. No matter how many pathetic posts and predictions I make - I always end up eating a cat poop sandwich. Kemp had a frigging fork stuck in him and now he rises from the ashes! Oh I can see it now - he will certainly have a hand in beating our a$$ again this year. More gnashing of teeth, nose wiping and pride swallowing. Bad enough that God punished me with a ridiculously small pee pee, but then I had to choose the wrong school to attend (for one year prior to flunking out). I would slice my damn wrists, but even then I see your lousy frigging colors coming out of my own body. I can't win at anything - so I will try and taunt you winning bastards. :mrgreen:
