I think there is some revisionist history going on here. I recall many many frustrating games with disappointing margins of victory all the way through conference titles and the playoffs in the late 90’s through the late 00’s.

Thank you! Didn’t we drop one on the road at NAU in 2003? Didn’t we drop one against SHSU in 2004 when we beat them down to make the NC game? There was the CWU game in 2009?

Listen, I understand coaching criticism. I don’t agree with a good portion of it, but I understand it. But I’m sick of reading posts like these players should be performing to their video game-like ratings every game. If you’ve ever played any sport at any level, you know that sometimes you’re not feeling it. Sometimes, you just don’t have it that day. Surviving with a win on those days is a good thing.

I decided to go back and look at what this board was like after we only beat Central Washington by 3 points and then got boat raced at Weber State the next week back in 2008.

The common consensus among Griz fans here was that we'd likely finish 6-6 that season after that. :lol:

So because he has a political opinion that doesn't align with you that makes him a moron? Huh, so tolerant but then again not surprising. Maybe keep it about Football in a football thread there's a great idea.

The typical strategy of leftists when they dont agree or have nothing useful to contribute is to make personal attacks. I'm quite sure he is a recent product of the university system and he felt a microaggresion and then felt he needed to attack or destroy something.

That's what egriz has become....... the lefties on here (you know you are) try to cancel any poster who dares to criticize the coaches

There was once a time that the Griz would win by 30,40 and 50 points, it was common and expected. Many teams would leave shell shocked and couldn't understand what had just happened to them. Fast forward to today and we consider a win over a div 2 team a great win and we should feel good about it.
What I saw last night was a Griz team completely unprepared to play football. Coaching failed to prepare these young men to play. Some say that our coaching staff is old school and stuck in the past, I disagree. I wish they were stuck in the past when coaching was innovative and unpredictable.
If we don't improve the cats will hang 50 on us and we will be laying on the couch during playoffs.

That Div2 team would beat most of the teams in the Big Sky Conference.

That's how poor the Big Sky Conference is and the Griz finished in 6th place.

Is talent the issue, partially. To be able to watch tape from the week before where the #16 ranked D2 reams puts up 300 yards and 28 points, you would think that Hauck and crew could devise a game plan that would do much better than it did. Second, the depth of the Griz defensive line, having to sub a backup TE to give the starters a break, is a recruiting (coaching) issue.

So the question is, can the coaches actually coach up what they have, as there are no mid season trades?

I agree sometimes players don’t have it. Champions don’t make excuses. I lost a freestyle National championship to a Greco-Roman National Champion fromTeam Oregon USA. Did I have a bad day? Not a chance. Got my ass pinned. I could have wrestled that guy 50 times, and never won. He was just flat out better. No excuse, just a tip of the hat. Sometimes, and it is hard, you need to realize you aren’t the most talented

So the Big Sky is horrible? Why did we finish 6th last year?

Our very good qb got hurt. Please pay attention.

Is this an excuse or an explanation?

Please describe the problem you see with the defense. They gave up 10 points and 285 yards total offense while on the field for 33.5 minutes.

Another in the long line of jack$sses who can't see the forest for the trees. As Bobby is trying to develop a 3 year starter at QB the same posters who want him yanked complain constantly Bobby doesn't develop QB's. Moment by moment complainers all.

That's just dumb. You can't find a time when 30, 40, 50 point margins of victory were common and expected.

The funny part about your statement is "develop a 3 year starter at QB." That will be a first.

I remember it well. That season started with a narrow win at Cal Poly 30-28 and a home win against Davis 29-24. (both of Great West conference at the time).

It was an up and down season where the Griz really didn't hit their stride until nearly the end of the regular season, and even then I recall some ugly wins, including in person at Portland State.

I also recall watching a month straight of playoff games after a drubbing of the Cats.

I'm not saying this team is equivalent to the 2008 national championship runners up, but the notion that those teams won in blowout fashion every week is just false.

Another example of poor player evaluation and recruitment.

The Griz beat Ferris. That was the goal. Do you not understand that?

Griz recruitment and evaluation are very good. Your comment is another example of someone who never played the game.

Depth, as was reported by Wahlberg.

And still performed very well.
