I respect your opinion but disagree with your post. I believe that the UM coaching staff wants to win games, and plays the kids that are best prepared and perform best in practice. I think the UM coaching staff will work with the players to eliminate some of those critical mistakes that ultimately caused the WIU loss.
MiningCityGrizFan said:
At this point in the season, I am seriously questioning some of the coaching staff’s priorities. I think some of them still have a chip on their shoulders about being passed over for Stitt a few years back.
For those of you who are technically challenged, the short version is the close personal relationship between Sneed and Rosenbach is the reason that Gresch left the Griz football team.
It doesn’t matter that we had a proven winner in Jensen or a kid like Humphries with a better arm standing on the sideline, Sneed’s relationship with Rosenbach is all that matters.
Wait, wait, wait... Your post was far too civil and mature for eGriz. You didn't personally insult me and proclaim that your opinion is the only valid opinion on this site. And you forgot to declare that anyone who doesn't agree with you clearly doesn't understand football. :lol:
In all sincerity, thank you for your reply. It's beyond refreshing to be able to discuss Griz football with actual adults. Even those who have opinions that are different than mine!
PlayerRep said:
I don't believe for a second that you wanted to have a football discussion. Like many of your posts over the years, you mainly wanted to complain and do it in a fairly harsh manner. And you wanted to blame the coaches, especially Hauck. And, you couldn't just do this in an existing thread, you had to create your own thread with the title you chose.
First, please remember one thing -- I don't care what you think or believe.
But I need a break from life for a while, so I might as well spend some demonstrating to anyone who cares to read why your latest comment is so completely ridiculous...
I realized long ago that you were a delusional narcissistic clown who primarily comes onto this board to talk about yourself. Even the screen name you chose demonstrates this -- you're not a fan, you're above all of us common fans. Instead, in your feeble mind, you're here as a representative on behalf of the players.
For years I have watched you chime into discussions, not to offer your opinion, but to correct the opinions of others. To explain why they're wrong and you're right.
When they don't agree with you, then you rudely declare their opinions to be invalid by asserting that they "never played the game" -- so often that the phrase is now a running joke on this website.
You're too blinded by your own narcissism to even recognize that not only don't people like you, but they think you're a joke too.
What's worse is that you're too arrogant to just ignore people.
You continually harass them with your insulting comments on every. freaking. post. they. make.
I'm not exaggerating either - Here is a screen capture of what I saw last night when I checked in on this thread...
:question:
NORMAL PEOPLE DON'T DO THIS!!!
PlayerRep said:
I see that a number of people don't agree with you, or much of what you said, so it's not just me.
I realize that in your confused mind that if even one person disagrees with me, then that somehow proves that you are right and I am wrong. :roll:
What about the people that agreed with me? I scrolled through just the first page of this thread and found the following:
EverettGriz said:
While I don't condone everything (many things?) in the post, the OP does make some legitimate points. Namely, Sneed really, really, really struggles on deep balls. There's simply no getting around it. Also, I agree Eastwood doesn't appear to be a DI back. There were multiple opportunities for cut backs or the ability to pop off tackle for yards and he just bulldozes straight ahead. Vision is clearly a problem, and I've to see any athleticism that makes up for it.
'68griz said:
I mostly agree with Mining's post. I definitely agree with the info on the running backs. Not necessarily an anti-Hauck comment, but he has always played favorites, and the fact that both Sneed and Eastwood are starting, in my opinion, affirms that.
jcu27 said:
Agreed for most of it. Sneed is inaccurate and panics. Eastwood needs a year or two for sure.. Lee should be the starter. Also 100% agree is Gresch was here we would have won. However that is not the case and we can only hope for progression. I think this team still at worst gets 3 losses. Lessons hopefully have been learned.
nzone said:
There is no question in my mind that both Lee and Calhoun are much better backs. Why Bobby continues to play Eastwood stifles my mind. If in fact Calhoun has paid his penalty he would give us a much much better chance of getting a resemblance of a running game. Has better vision, hits holes quicker and is a lot faster. Not to mention tough as hell. Lee needs to catch the ball better out of the backfield but imo twice the back Eastwood is. But Hauck will be Hauck and is going to sink or swim his way. I am not even going to bring up......
ordigger said:
I certainly have no inside knowledge of anything like this, but as an outside observer I do believe it is evident that both Sneed and Eastwood are playing ahead of others that could perform better. Would love to see how Cam does, but not sure that will happen. And Eastwood is clearly not the answer. When Stitt was accused of this, the outrage seemed much louder.
Do they count in your beautiful mind? Or do you block them out because your mind can't comprehend that they contradict the point you are trying to make?
PlayerRep said:
I had seen you posting how embarrassed you were in the game thread, so it didn't surprise me when I saw you new thread. That's your mode of operation.

Your Honor, I would like to plead guilty to the thought crime of expressing my opinions on the game thread while watching the game yesterday afternoon.
For example, when faced with a 4th and 1 from WIU's 3-yard line, the coaches opted to go for it rather than take the FG and go up by 7 points. As a result, I made the following disgusting comment:
MiningCityGrizFan said:
that is embarrassing for those kids
There were a number of plays that were embarrassing to watch. And I made similar comments. I didn't realize I was on PR probation and was not allowed to express my opinions freely.
I apologize for making jokes too. After Sammy Akem's second TD grab I made a thoughtless joke that also included political humor:
MiningCityGrizFan said:
I also made a terribly cruel comment about Sneed's QB'ing abilities -- and someone even agreed with me.
grizband said:
MiningCityGrizFan said:
Sneed is a good QB, but his biggest weakness is his inability to throw the deep ball.
First game I've been able to watch this season, but I've noticed the same. His long passes seem either over or under thrown.
I beg the court for mercy for expressing my opinion and deceiving others into agreeing with me.
I also beg for leniency for starting my own thread on eGriz to express my own opinions without seeking the proper permits and permission from the eGriz Thought Police.

You hadn't posted since mid-August. Not one post. It was June before then. I figured you just saw a chance to come on the board and start complaining, like you have in the past. I recall that when you first came on the board a dozen years ago, in 2006, you wanted to replace Hauck with Van Diest. So, you've never had any credibility with me, and we've tangled before.
:wtf:
Now you're entering into creepy, stalker territory!!!
Ok, buckle up kids because we are about to go through the looking glass...
PR is finally stumbled onto something -- and he's got me dead to rights -- It's true. I hadn't posted since June.
When the school year ended and Griz athletics went on summer hiatus, there wasn't much to discuss so I stopped coming to eGriz as much.
I know this is hard to believe, but try to follow this logic -- I swear this is NOT an elaborate conspiracy theory!
eGriz is pretty dead over the summer. So I stepped away. I spent the summer at family get-togethers and seeing friends over the 4th of July, watching my kid's baseball games, and traveling a bit for work.
I did check in a few times on eGriz, but there wasn't much going on. Something about a green egg smoker if I remember correctly. And I didn't feel the need to post for the sake of reading my own posts.
Before you read any further, I must offer a trigger warning.
The following information may LITERALLY blow your mind.
I came back to eGriz in August. Around the time that...
FALL CAMP STARTED!!!
[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lXdyD2Yzls[/media]
I actually went to a few of the practices too, I just didn't feel the need to tell everyone on eGriz about it.
What will really blow PR's mind is that I was fortunate enough to spend about 20 minutes talking with Coach Hauck in his office this summer.
I'd never had the chance to speak with him in person before and I was blown away. He's a very impressive guy.
PR I realize that this is difficult for you to accept because you can't get within three miles of Bobby Hauck without running to the nearest keyboard, but I swear, it's all true. All of it.
(Seriously, it is.)
PlayerRep said:
In my first post in your thread, I said the following: "If you want to debate some points, be specific and I will debate you." Don't believe I got a response from you. Figured that you were afraid to actually engage in specifics.
No. No, you didn't get a response from me. Not because I'm afraid to engage in specifics. Because as you can see from the screenshot I shared above, I have you blocked because you're an idiot troll who goes out of his way to harass people.
Note that you replied to my comment to another person.
Don't worry, I still know you're around because I keep seeing references to the aforementioned "but I never played the game" joke so I know you're still annoying other people and
apparently welching on bets.
:loser:
PlayerRep said:
I love to discuss and date the specifics, but I find that posters like you just want to use your conclusions and usually won't discuss and provide specifics.
If you weren't senile (because clearly, you've been keeping tabs on me all these years) then you'd have to admit that I'm not afraid to debate my positions with anyone. Least of all, you.
In fact, I did a quick search and found an old thread where I crushed you with specifics:
https://www.egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.php?p=1289332#p1289332
I also found the one where I used some specific details to demonstrate what a narcissist you are:
https://www.egriz.com/grizboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=79215&p=1295407&hilit=reece+phillips+PR#p1295407
I'm sure you have blocked that out of your mind, but even in this thread, if you weren't too busy being a self-righteous dill-hole, you'd see that I was actually debating and interacting with a number of people about the specifics that I shared in my original post.
You see, unlike you, I'm not threatened by people who have views and opinions that are different mine.
You, on the other hand, are threatened by other people with strong opinions. Especially when those opinions are well received by others on this board.
Here is an example where I noticed you began to show signs of being threatened by me:

If you scroll down, the comments were fairly positive.

I just want to know...honestly...how long that bad boy has been brewing inside ya? It's like you picked up the forum, kicked everybody's ass in it, and spit it out. I've been thinking a lot of these things, and agree with what you've posted here. I know we all want the Griz to do well, we've been spoiled, are acting like spoiled brats, and you just sat us down and educated everyone. Thank you!
Grizrule16 said:
If I could I would shake your hand. This is a very well thought out post.
Also note, I wasn't complaining in this thread. I was being supportive of Coach Stitt.
And guess who was there to tell me why I was wrong? You.
:shock:
Even other people called you on it...
AZGrizFan said:
:lol: Leave it to you, PR. Every SINGLE poster so far (numerous) have agreed with Mining's post, and you come along being the contrarian. If you can't understand how four missing scholarships over the past three years can impact FUTURE years' performance, well then there's no helping you. Of COURSE it's not going to affect the immediate years...those years have upperclassmen that were already here starting. It affects FUTURE years, because those future classes are by the nature of the punishment smaller and/or devoid of talent that otherwise could have been attracted with four additional scholarships to hand out. THAT is what played out last year, IMHO. THAT's why we were 6-5 (among a host of other things that have been beaten to death on this board)...and honestly, the return of those four schollies isn't going to pay immediate dividends for the very same reasons--unless he hands them out to four four-star drop downs who can come in and be impact players immediately.
It was shortly after this that I blocked you because you seemed to be stalking me. I thought I may have been oversensitive, but as it turns out you were literally stalking me.
PlayerRep said:
As I have said, it has nothing to do with jumping posters who don't agree with me. I tend to go after posters whom I think are over-the-line, posters whose "views" I don't respect, trolls, jerks, some Cat posters, etc. Case in point. '68 Griz agreed with your post. I like '68. I would never jump him. I didn't even comment on this post, even though I obviously didn't agree with it.
I'll conclude how I began -- I don't care what you think. You are an insignificant nobody as far as I'm concerned. I don't know when you joined eGriz and don't care when you stop and start posting and I wouldn't waste a minute of my life looking it up.
And to be very clear I don't acknowledge or concede to you the authority to determine what is and isn't "over-the-line" and what people are or are not allowed to think in eGriz.
You are an annoying old fool and you'll stay on my blocked list because, as you've repeatedly demonstrated, you're not right in the head. Plus you've apparently developed an unhealthy obsession with me.
All I can say is thanks for the free rent in your head!
But finally -- I have to pull out this blast from the past too because it shows that, well PR, you contradicted yourself...
Remember, you just said:

The unknowledgeable fans are coming out of the woodwork. Ha. Note that I agreed with Mining on most of his post, and that's why I said "close but no cigar" initially. If I recall correctly, I have generally liked Mining as a poster, and assume he is knowledgeable. It's just the rest of you that I question. Ha again.
How do you like those specifics?!
