Is this from the same guy that claimed I was constantly talking down Semore, and then when I posted my only three comments about Semore -- all quite positive -- he didn't have the balls to apologize for "muddying the water" with an outright lie? That guy?

Mav, I hear you, and I agree with a lot of what you posted. JUst keep in mind, Egriz, however big it's become is A TINY, TINY segment of Griz Nation. No matter what some folks post here, and would lead you to believe, it's not by any means a true representation of how the entire fan base feels about the program, or the 2016 team. Point of fact, I live in Havre, which used to be a very split town, 50% Griz, 50% Cats. The old guard is still that way, but Marc Mariani pretty muched changed the ratio forever. The younger generations here are ALL Griz for life. I also spend a lot of time in Great Falls, and no matter what a select few try to lead us to believe, trust me Great Falls is still very Pro Griz.

I was at Chambers Bay for the U.S. Open last year and got multiple "Go Griz" within the first hour I was on the grounds for a Tuesday practice round, and was in New York City a few weeks ago, and ran into Griz fans in Central Park, not once, but, twice. Not to mention, even with all the Stitt concern or loathing going on, somehow, season ticket sales managed to rise by almost 2,000 fans this season. Again, while I liek Egriz, and have no problem with people posting any opinion they choose, good, bad or otherwise, I've learned that, Egriz is a mere fraction of the feelings in Griz Nation.

Cool post, Hav. I totally agree. I was actually on my way to work on Tuesday, stopped at a light on PCH, when a 70+ year-old cyclist tapped on my window. I lowered the window, and he said, "Are you a Grizzly from Montana?" I have Griz plate frames and hitch cover. I told him yes, and we talked about the team for longer than we should have because people started honking when the light changed. There was no negativity from him at all about coaching, etc. He apparently is a booster with a place at Seeley and splits time. Cool guy, and I wish I got his name.

I second the fact that one cannot walk through NYC without getting a "Go Griz" from someone. I'm 7-for-7 on that over the last three years.

Whether the egriz posters are dumb, Debbie downers, have never played the game, don't represent the majority of Griz fans or are total
maroon colored glasses wearing fools, it's still some of the best entertainment around. I wouldn't change a thing about it.....

 

[PlayerRep]

Why did some posters just want to take shots at the better posters? Does it make them feel better about themselves or bigger?

So you quoted yourself three times...pretty compelling stuff.

You thought it was compelling enough at the time to make a point of it and lie about it. Why?

 

[Mavman]

I just think some people do not even enjoy being fans anymore the way they post!

So what if you "think" that? If it hurts your feelings, go somewhere else. When you get done thinking you can read people's minds, and gain nothing by condescending to them because they don't meet your personal standards, come back.

Here's some good advice.

Why would thinking someone doesn't enjoy being a fan hurt my feelings lol u too much
I enjoy the hell out of this place look at my join date. I enjoy many posters on here and there is even a little bit of info

Believe me, when I see regular posters now claim that Stitt has done better in his second halves over his first, and that no one ever said "offensive genius" about him, and see all the back-pedalling that goes on around this forum by people that constantly need to tell everyone "they know all about football," and then constantly get it wrong, it is more than amusing. Watching someone DEMAND PROOF and then when they get it directly, NO, I MEANT SOME OTHER PROOF, OVER THERE! and watch them squirm and run into themselves constantly, it's better than the old Three Stooges re-runs.

Having watched, now, a full year of what Stitt was "going to do" according to all the prognosticators that alleged "they knew," is really something. I am still laughing at the kind of early comment that led to such revelations as "Stitt is going to recruit quarterbacks that are FAST and SMART!!!" Now, it a matter of never having seen so many people pretend they didn't say what they said. It's like watching a bunch of cats run into patio doors. Over and over.

As I noted last year, much of the hype wasn't Stitt's fault, but the over-estimation of expectations by true believers which was unfair to the coaches, the team and the players, because unrealized over-exaggerated expectations invariably invokes a let-down. The transition, DII to DI, is a big one. For all the hype about Stitt, he even admitted in one interview he's never been recruited for a position before Montana. And anybody with a brain could see the difficulty of the move; as did our most successful coaches when they too elected to move "up," and it was disaster every time.

This is the hard-work year. Can't expect lucky breaks like last year to keep happening. Stitt has a great staff, which is my take-away so far.

75, you are correct, but you are hurting the feelings of those posters who think that they are entitled to their own (wrong) opinion and own wrong facts--and that no one is allowed to challenge them. They want a ribbon for their posts and views, even though they talk frequently about how much they hate the everyone gets a ribbon culture.

75 and PR nailed it! Why enjoy life and see positive aspects in the program when you can garner attention while attacking others. The mad scientist is a fraud. He can't even publicly acknowledge their wisdom and feedback in print.

Nice try. It isn't seeing the "positive aspects in the program" when they have to be fabricated. It isn't enjoying anything, obviously, when the guys that married the coach in the first place take any objective criticism with all the grace and aplomb of the Westboro Baptist Church. You'd think, if they were "enjoying" things so much, they wouldn't spend so much time backpedalling. "Offensive genius?" "Nobody said any SUCH THING!"

Enjoy.

Without getting into the middle of all this hoo-hah, I just want to point out that by definition opinions are neither right nor wrong. They are opinions, personal beliefs; just don't confuse them with facts.

What I bolded is completely backwards and wrong.

"We've had many different opportunities to leave (Mines) over the years." Stitt said. "Montana, this is the only opportunity I've ever pursued. It's the only one where I really stayed awake at night thinking I could leave for. It's Montana. It's the Griz."

Your usual flawless reporting. You are one obsessed dude.

"I was a small-college player, and I never had anybody in my entire coaching career call me up and say, 'Hey, you want this job?' I've had to interview and grind for every job I ever got," Stitt said. "This is the first time somebody called me and asked me if I was interested. I've been ready for this for a long time."
