Gerald Kemp was the best athlete this school has had in decades!! the numbers don't back me, but anybody in the organization would agree strongly with me. I'm not saying there weren't other great athletes in that stretch either!

Also lets just stop this "Kemp is the most underutilized player we have ever had" BS, 2 or 3 coaches decided he wasnt good enough to be on this field so it was ALL on him. It wasnt a personal vendetta from a single coach it was just that he wasnt as good as you guys wanted him to be.
No amount of Re/Max saying hes "too athletic to be on the bench" is ever going to change that, in fact quotes from him are just more reinforcement to the contrary.
We have 5 players on our roster right now more athletic than Kemp so just stop.

Agree 100%. The guy was not hyped enough or maybe he would have seen more playing time.Elite_Griz_Lover15 said:

Your list is way off. The list has to start with the boy from BYU.
NO WAY GK is on that list.
Brandon Neil is another example of a guy that did not get a chance to prove himself. We don't lose to the cats if he plays vs keeping an injured Edwards on the field. Even Cliff was upset with that decision.

Well at least AG makes you laugh. I dont believe he was actually serious-at least I hope not. As for the guys above, Kessman was #1 on my list. Tad Perry was a huge disappointment-high hopes and to lesser degree Rodamer.BWahlberg said:

Rodamer played, right? One game with one catch? :lol:
After thinking for awhile, I think Nate Montana may be the most overhyped.

He did. Just googled it for my own curiosity. In 3 games he had 4 catches for 15 yards. 2 of those came against the ass raping in Sam Houston.
MGT out!!

Face it Dan, this place needs MORE AG1 setting the bar high and not bowing to the PC crowd to lower it when the going gets tough. I am like Sirius satellite radio, non stop 24/7 rock and roll,

Of all the Griz Players in recent years, I can only think of two who were over-hyped.
1. E.A. Dobrey. He was completely undersized for a DE at 5-11; 175.
2, William C. "Wild Bill" Kelly. Though he was ultimately a College Football Hall of Fame inductee, I was never a fan of his passing mechanics. As NY Times reporter Dick Stanky put it, "Some 5,000 people in attendance didn't know if Wild Bill was throwing a deep post, or coming across second base from the six spot to turn a double play."

I hate to say it but the whole 2013 team was somewhat over hyped IMO. At least on this board anyway. After some early dominant wins against weak opponents, many were ready to breakout the champaign because the team was going to chase a national title. The chants of "Redemption tour" and "bring on NDSU"were often heard during the first half of the season.
Bitter arguments broke out about the significants of the early stats as fan excitement grew
and seemed to wiped away the bad memories of 2012. Maybe some Griz fans just wanted their team back on top so bad that they temporarily lost their heads. The 2013 team was an improved version of the 2012 team with JJ back but it was never going on a deep playoff run like many Griz fans thought.
