When All is Said and Done…..

When all is said and done it’s time to move the dialogue forward. This season is in the books and nothing we say or do is going to change the final results. Time to move on.
Griz fans have high and probably unrealistic expectations for the grizzly football teams performance and that’s not likely to change anytime soon.
No doubt there will be more players entering the portal tomorrow, and all for their own specific reasons. Perhaps the expectations for this years team was unrealistic? As the saying goes “that’s why they play the game.”
There is much debate on this site as to whether or not Ah Yat is the future for the program? Personally I’ve not been impressed with his performance to date but that’s just my opinion. He is touted to be the legacy prodigy but I’m not exactly sure what that is supposed to mean? Because his dad was an outstanding Grizzly quarterback doesn’t necessarily translate to his following in his father footprints. I think the program and the athletic department have created a monster they may not be able to put back in the bottle?
If I’m a quarterback in the portal looking for an opportunity to play one or two years I’d have to wonder whether or not I’d be up against not only performing better but bucking the “legacy” title given to Ah Yat?
I feel next year, 2025 is going to be a watershed year for our football program that could have repercussions for many years to come. I sincerely hope we are on the right path.

You, the fan, has more insight into this than a kid getting recruited to transfer to um. Do you really think a kid intimately knows enough of the program to think this?

If a player transferring out, especially a qb, is so petty he contacts every qb to get an offer from the college he's leaving, then I didn't want him on my team anyways. That's shitty leadership.

And kids aren't stupid. They can smell petty desperation a mile away. All he has to do is come talk to the current players, and I'm sure they'll all say Logan is full of shit and it's awesome here if he's trying to torpedo our school's reputation.

You are absolutely right. Even in the age of social media, it is very, very rare for a kid to go seek out people who are leaving a school and ask how their time went. That just isn't the normal process that kids are taking before making a decision. They rely on coaches and people they know and trust, not a stranger who they know next to nothing about.

For a good example, when Fife was decided to drop Minnesota and come to Montana, he didn't call Vidlak or McDowell or Danny Britt. He called former teammate and good friend Jake Haener, who had moved on and been drafted by the Falcons. Haener talked to him about Montana being a great place for an outdoorsy guy who likes to hunt and fish, and a lower level of competition, and Fife felt like that would be a good fit for him. Kids, and people in general, usually default to asking advice of people they trust, not to doing an extreme amount of diligence.

There’s some REAL hopeless romantics on this message board. And they seem to forget that (1) yes, everybody says they’re a coach behind a keyboard, (2) moderators here have all the time in the world to verify this, and (3) surely there’s a coaches-only board with sufficient participation somewhere.

Yes, I went through all 49 pages of the SDSU game thread to come to this conclusion.
