Unofficial Griz vs Sioux Game Day Thread

[argh!]

It isn't Sneed's fault this game.

agree, but then again he isn't playing very well.

The Griz are the definition of a horrible team. With out big changes may not win another game

We beat Cal Poly and UNI. This team could be decent. This play is coaching and ball security.

I would optimistically say the Griz come out in the second half and put it all together for the win. However we don’t have the tools to do that I don’t think.

Then you add on top of it that it’s 34-0 and this team can’t do anything right so yeah I don’t think there’s even a 0.1% chance of that happening

0.6% chance actually! Hashtag fight on, etc.

Why all of a sudden do we have so many fumbles? Before that we could hang onto the ball now we’re not.

 

[Fahque]

I find it odd that the Griz played well in 4 of the first 5 games, and played very well in the 5th game. Then, have fallen apart.

To me, it's been a tale of 2 seasons, with the bad part starting to overwhelm the good part.

I'm not giving the coaches a pass, but how can we have 3 games with so many turnovers, mainly fumbles?

It isn't Sneed's fault this game.

It isn’t ALL Sneed‘s fault… He still isn’t a good quarterback

Thank god we’re in GF. We could be lethargic in Fargo.

And what "big changes" do you suggest?

Attitude. An ability not to turn the ball over 3 times to start a game. Execution. This team is absolutely lost right now in all phases of the game.

And how would you make the "big changes"?

I think there are a handful of guys happy right now with how things have progressed this season....Bob Stitt, Gresh Jensen and every big sky head coach left on our schedule.

 

[argh!]

While I understood that there would be growing pains, and that stitt left a lot of holes in the roster, I did not imagine that this team would fall apart mentally like this. Mental errors abound, drops, passes overthrown, fumbles, picks, ineligible receivers down field every week. What has happened in the last two weeks? The first few games looked nothing like this. It’s a new and troubling development.

i think team's figured out how to defend the griz offense, and control sneed.

 

[grizpsych]

Okay. We just need 8 touchdowns in the second half to secure a win.

 

[406grizfan4life]

Well it started out a year with hope and promise then collapse of the worst sort i have ever seen. Griz suck and they are never going to be good again. Anyone want 4 tickets for the Idaho game. no longer have an interest in watching them play this year.

I feel the exact same. Could be a losing season

Do ya think

 

[grizindabox]

If who ever handles pricing at U of M football games is smart, they might think about adjusting ticket prices for the rest the year. I dont think many fans want to pay 30-50 bucks to watch us get steamrolled.

They have already sold the tickets.

 

[grizare#1]

Only important stat, turnovers. That stat is killing this team just like last week. You can't get any momentum going and you kill the D.
We need the ball to bounce our way which it has not for 6 Qt now.

Yeah....interceptions and fumbles.

Not sure the Poly win is as good as you suggest.

Coaching has left the building. I mean seriously give the ball to Bingham on the half yard line only to fumble it away. Give the ball to Eastwood and let him score. Coaching has been aweful on both sides of the ball and Bobby did not address the ball security issue.

Teams have figured out Sneed won't beat them deep and have worked to take his running away...he needs to adapt and has struggled.

Holes in the roster? The Griz never played like this in the last three years. Ever. This is a truly new development for us.

Woof. Really bad first half for this staff. 34-0. It's nearly unbelievable. I can understand being bad, but being undisciplined is not OK. Clean. It. The. f***. Up. Good Lord, this is not at all what I thought we'd have.

But is it undisciplined?

Is lack of discipline causing the fumbles? Did lack of discipline cause the lineman to go down field and someone to line up in the backfield? To me, those are just mistakes.

We aren't getting a bunch of motion penalties and late hits. To me, those tend to be more discipline and concentration.

Sneed just threw one bad ball, and made a bad decision. He is under pressure frequently.

RB's have hardly fumbled this year.

UM has 4 penalties for game, but at least 2 were at critical times.

I don't get it. I don't agree that the team is bad. I think they are borderline good, or at least were, but certainly not better. Yes, they are young, but it's not the youngest guys who are making all the mistakes.

While I always think my team can win, and still do even today (miracle), I didn't think UM would win this game. But never thought it would look like this. Wow.

Could’ve been a 14-7 game. But no got to get all f-ing cute. Coaching is finding ways to lose these games.
