Morehead Gets Big Payday

oldngrizzly said:
You just hate when someone calls out the Griz esp. when its true.It was not the team ,it was the University that schedualed this fiasco.And it was only scheduled to make money for them.By the way you are seeing the evidence of not developing quarterbacks and getting them playing time.As far as NAIA teams it was a suggestion of how the Griz could get playing time to develop a quarterback with a record that would not count.As you know this has been done in the past as some posters stated so.But at least the paying public if there was some would have advanced knowlege and could choose to pay or not.

Anybody who bought a ticket should have advance knowledge just like any scheduled game. We were predicted to win something like 50-3. It wasn't a secret.

I still don't get your other point. You keep going back to this. Should we schedule weak games to develop a QB, or should we schedule much more competitive games to not waste money for the fans? You have to pick one. And if we scheduled an NAIA team, it wouldn't count toward the wins against division one teams to get into the playoffs.

I'm happy to ignore your posts, as I have been, but you have to pick a side here. You have two contrasting opinions. Should we be scheduling NAIA teams to get reps for young people, or should we be NOT doing that suggestion in order to play games that are more meaningful to not "waste ticket money."

For the record, I haven't heard from anyone who went to the game that they had a disappointing time last weekend. I've heard the opposite.

Funny thing is, Morehead State is the exact type of team he is suggesting the Griz play. As for the doesn't count thing, I don't believe he fully understands what people mean.

Yep. Exactly what he wants, only better and it counts for the playoffs. I've tried to ignore him, I'm sure he doesn't know what it means. It sounds now like he wants us to play them in a non-game when it "doesn't count," like we should schedule a special one in the off season? I don't even know. I've tried to ignore his posts in general, but this was SUCH a weird contradiction after he raged against the machine that we should be scheduling NAIA teams, not strong teams, so that we could comfortably just let young QB's play.

He never did answer oldskoolgriz about how he thinks we SHOULD develop a QB. Some folks just want to have their daily two minutes of hate.

I approve of your post, and I give you extra points for the "1984" reference.
 
Also, in terms of the cost, I know it sounds like a lot to pay a team $250,000. We also took in $1.5 million in tickets alone, plus concessions and tailgating fees and everything else. It is pretty safe to say that the football team made a pretty good chunk even after we paid them to come, and it is normal to play some teams to come here. Just like it was normal for any team to pay someone to come to a play a game without a home-and-home agreement. And we were CERTAINLY not doing a home-and-home with Morehead. I don't understand everything about scheduling college football games, but it seems like our athletic department is doing a good job of mixing in making money, getting some confidence building games here and there, and mixing in some good competitive ones here and there.

Maybe you read the thread a little closer.

"On Saturday, we left early to tailgate with the score something like 32-0 late in the first half, and one of my Iowa Hawkeye friends at the game asked me if we were going to play a local high school for our next game.

I think he was kidding ?"

You could not ask people because half the stadium left at half time.
 
If you think the University cares about the football program to just make the public happy you have been hoodwinked. It's all about MONEY and that is it!

Would you answer a post from a guy that calls you a morron ?

Have many times. Sure. I'm an adult who has heard worse.

Also, he never called you that when he was trying to talk to you. Just like I didn't. You just won't respond to reasonable conversations. And that is fine. Carry on. I'll go back to not responding, just couldn't resist this insane contradiction.

Moorehead was really "not good." It was nice to see the Griz get their feet back under them, but wow. The lack of tackling attempts were miserable by Moorehead. I even saw one time where the linebacker or DB filled the gap and went on his knee and literally almost turned his head away when barely attempting to make the tackle. I think that was on the Gilman angry run early. Yikes. Those guys just were not ready and did not have it at all. There may need to be a little bit of a criteria for scheduling, moving forward. Moorehead may have the worst team they have ever had right now. . .and that is saying a lot. Not to diminish the day for the Griz, but man oh man that was really sad by Moorehead. Looked more like playing a Junior High team then a college team.

Just wait till your bubs play Mercyhurst. They'll make Morehead look like the Kansas City chiefs.
