Reese is coming

[CDAGRIZ]

WOW!!!

Great pick up for the Griz!!!

A SEC recruit making his way to Montana!!

This is where I am on this topic as well....good pick up, kid will elevate competition at our most important position. No downside. Stitt is on a mission...program now firmly ALL his.

:thumb:
I think he will be good. My coworker grew up in Signal Mountain and says he remembers hearing a lot of hype about Phillips coming out of HS (coworker is obviously older). He seems to think he'll be a good QB for the Griz. Just FWIW.

I think the best approach would be to form a strong opinion on Reese based on no facts.

That's usually the best. Another good way to resolve this is to start a debate on whether Hauck's 2004 loss to SHSU was more embarrassing than Nancy Kerrigan's loss to Oksana Baiul in Lillehammer.

Using no fewer than 10,000 words is also advisable.

Or possibly I could persuade Everett in 15,000 words why he is wrong about that.

You'd have to demand that I find a post saying that!!!

Prove that you didn't say it, chump!

I don't know. I am sure 75 can dig around and find some stats that he can compare to prove something. Then he can post a 15,000 word post about his findings. Maybe something on how Simis would make a great 3rd string QB at a lower tier SEC school based on Reese's career.

Felas... This is about Reese? How?

Payton, it is an organic conversation. It goes where it wants to go. Might as well try to herd cats. And you know how cats are...

My money, as well, is on Brady.

Reese Phillips hs hudl tape is under-whelming.

How "whelming" is Brady's CPSLO, Liberty and NDSU playoff tape? Phillips was not fully recovered from a bad Achilles injury. I suspect he will at least be more consistent than BG and a better runner.

What the QB is allowed to run if he could?

Can I be someone's wingman??

Payton,

In the history of NCAA athletics, has an athlete ever changed his mind about transferring schools after reading a "fan" website?

Mmmmm....I do like me some wings!!

You guys must have the games confused with one of your "mathlete" competitions. The CC loss was humiliating, and they did hand us our arse. More embarrassing that the usual Traitorak meltdown vs CP. Maybe the most humiliating playoff loss in recent history, almost as bad as when CP kicked booby's ass in 05. The final score my not reflect it, but that was the impression I left with that day--they physically beat us up from the get-go. Probably the most "humiliating" thing is how a team from muther f***[*] Carolina was more prepared for the cold than our own team. I guess the griz must not have "executed" the game plan properly. HA! Thank god MickyD and Traitorak are gone.

Nope, the CC loss was not humiliating at all. A 7 point loss, 35-42. UM outgained CC, but just ran out of time in the comeback. The recent NDSU loss was many times worse than the CC loss.

I think it's pretty funny that the same people who can say the CC loss wasn't "humiliating", forgetting that it wasn't even a game at 42-21 entering the 4th quarter (and this after us leading 14-7 at one point, meaning we got outscored 38-7 through a LOT more than 6 minutes of "bad football") can simultaneously piss and moan about the Griz performance in their annihilation of MSU, which also wasn't a game but made to look better because of late scores by MSU. In NEITHER game did the losing team ever have possession with the ability to tie the game, but they sure look a lot closer than they really were if you just look at the score.

AZ, you don't get it both ways. It was a 7 point loss. If you want to ignore that and iignore UM TD's, then I'm going to subtract out the 3 TD's allowed in the last 6.5 minutes of the first half. Thus, without those, it was 21-21 entering the 4th quarter.

That's kind of my point. You don't get it both ways. A win is a win. A loss is a loss. No "win" is lucky. No loss is humiliating. Especially one where we fared basically about exactly like every OTHER team that faced the Bison in the playoffs.

. A win is a win. A loss is a loss. No "win" is lucky. No loss is humiliating. Especially one where we fared basically about exactly like every OTHER team that faced the Bison in the playoffs.

1) The ISU win was lucky. The game was won, Simis did a credible job on the running game, and had put it away. Stitt admitted in the second half he "went conservative" and changed the strategy to a passing strategy to burn up clock and because "you gotta pass sometime." That let ISU (!) back into the game and but for the bizarre screw up by ISU and very quick thinking by UM players, ISU had won that game because of the UM coaching strategy. "Lucky" isn't even really the word.

2) The NDSU loss was exacerbated by coaching claims that "my offense can beat anybody's defense." Self-inflicted humiliations are the more egregious kinds of humiliations nonetheless.

The coaching strategy might have survived without the Simis OT fumble, his second in as many tries, which you somehow manage to ignore.

75 loves to ignore that fact.

Are you setting up a Tonya Harding reference for the QB competition in spring ball? Who's going to be Nancy?

I wasn't the one wanting it both ways. You were. I said the 7 point loss wasn't humiliating. You indicated it was, and then said the score was 42-31 at the beginning of the 4th quarter. If you're now admitting that the loss, by 7 points, wasn't humiliating, or can point which people were saying the CC loss wasn't humiliating but were pissing and moaning about the Griz performance in their annihilation of MSU, then you and I can be done with this one.
