Coaches are human just like us all. Why does anyone make decisions that adversely affect them? It happens all the time.
Miners picked 6th by media
- Thread starter NoNCAAWinsSince1992
- Start date
My friend, it’s one thing to make a mistake by simply choosing the wrong QB for the job. It happens. It’s quite another thing to limit one’s self by NOT opening competition up to increase chances to choose the right guy. One is an accident. One is stoopid.
Is there anyone currently on the roster who could be a better option than Hardison? I had heard good things about Longino as well, and it was unfortunate he chose to transfer. It seems like Brownholtz is the clear #2, who I don't have confidence as a long term replacement, if needed.

Maybe they promised GH he’d start when they recruited him,
Correct, the jersey is like $80-90 I believe
So it's a Bet 🤝
So I'm confident because based on what you agreed... Hardison just needs 200 yards less than he had last year, 2 more td's, 2 less int's and 3% better completion percentage. I'll take it, I think we'll see improvement. Though the loss of Cowing does concern me a bit, I won't lie.
“Coach Dimel, you’re my only D1 offer, so let me make this clear. I am not signing unless you promise to start me!!!”
Good thing Dim “promised to start him”. GH might be a plumber right now, without that promise!!! Good one Horny!
You'd be surprised how many coaches make that same stupid choice. It happens at every level all over this country.
I haven't seen anyone so far. That should have a legitimate shot to compete with Hardison. Maybe fall camp will show a little something about the new quarterbacks that were brought in. I am optimistic about McNamara, but it definitely won't be this year.
While it seems pretty simple to make those minor improvements, I don't think you quite understand just how important cowing was to the offense. There is no one currently on this team that will scare teams. That means much tighter windows underneath which he already has a problem hitting as is.
I guess I would be surprised. I’ve been around a few programs and have yet to see such a limiting choice made by a head coach, not having an open competition for QB. But I guess stranger things occur.
Or maybe it was open and GH was/is hands down the best option. I agree with most of what you’ve said, but I just have a hard time believing it hasn’t been an open competition, but its not like I could ask you to back that assertion up or anything.
Moving on though…
The prototypical Snyder QB was a big, tall, strong, tough, white dude who could run the ball north south, throw the deep ball, and not turn it over.
NOT a quick passing spread QB, and NOT a modern dual threat QB.

Must have missed Josh Freeman and Michael Bishop play. Freeman was 2-0 vs the Shorthorns.
Didn’t say every KSU QB fit that mold. And it doesn’t really matter. What can GH or a Miner backup do within this system? That’s what matters.

If you get a chance, stop by the fall practices and watch it for yourself. After a few practices, it'll be pretty obvious that it's not an open competition.
Did he have Cherry deep balls or was it the fact that he had Cowing grabbing everything thrown his way?
As stated in this thread, that's not how bets work. If he gets hurt the bet still counts. You have the option to back out today, but after today we're locked in on the bet.
Lmao, "locked in." Like you're a bookie who's going to break his legs or something...
Anyway, the spirit of the bet is on Hardison's abilities... not a team outcome like the point spread or the over under on a score. An injury stipulation seems fair here.
Sure, the sportsbooks wouldn't allow it, but you guys aren't sportsbooks. You're just two dudes on a message board. 😂
That's not how betting works. Either you bet or don't bet. Bets don't have stipulations. If $50 is too important to you, then you probably shouldn't be betting in the first place.
That's stupid lol if he gets hurt the second game or something how could the bet still be on. No then that's ridiculous Bye Felicia 🤣
Agree. Also this is more along the lines of a prop bet. Sportsbooks will cancel a bet if a player involved in a prop bet is inactive due to injury.
Obviously if Hardison goes down, in game 7 or 8, he wont be even close to said stats.
Natty, define the bet as something along the lines of, “Barring injury or provided GH plays in at least 10 games such and such stats will be accomplished. It will be up to Taco to accept it or not.
Tacos said, No. So basically implying even if he got injured in August and doesn't play a down the bet would still be on lol 🤣 That's craziness, I'm not down if that stipulation isn't in place. Obviously this kind of bet is based on him playing the full season.
It's not stupid. You just have no clue how betting works.
I assume you have never placed a bet before? If I bet for the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl and Mahomes gets injured in Week 1, I can't get my money back.
I didn't get my money back when OBJ got hurt in the super bowl. Maybe you can talk to the Aria casino for me?
Again, that's not how betting works. It's clear you have no experience with betting.
Dude, like HFK said, this ain’t Vegas and you ain’t a bookie.
This is a “friendly” bet on a forum. These kinds of bets are made with provisions all the time. You are at liberty to take a bet or not with said contingencies.
You must be nervous that provided Hardison play a full season, he’ll meet the stats Natty proposed.
I’m sure when you proposed the original bet, or accepted it, you weren’t banking on winning it due to a GH injury. You either think he’ll reach the stats or you don’t. Of course natty meant if Hardison was healthy.
It's not a "friendly" bet if money is involved.
Bets are not made all the time with provisions. When I bet, I make it simple. You either win or you lose. Not "if this" and "if that".
Who's nervous? @Taco1977 wants to bet, but @nattybry keeps adding provisions. That's not how betting works.
It's like saying I bet you $100 that I can finish the marathon. And then coming back and saying "well I got injured halfway through, so I couldn't finish the marathon. The bet is cancelled".
This reminds me of a Seinfeld episode:
It's not a "friendly" bet if money is involved.
That’s why I put friendly in quotes. Again, this isn’t professional betting. It’s on a community forum.
Bets are not made all the time with provisions. When I bet, I make it simple. You either win or you lose. Not "if this" and "if that".
Anything and everything is bet on. You can bet on anything. A bet is not always so simple and any amount of terms can be included. When I say “provisions” all I’m saying is defining the bet. As long as it’s done before the competition starts and both parties agree to it, it’s bet on. Maybe you keep it simple as you stated, but these kinds of bets happen all the time.
Who's nervous? @Taco1977 wants to bet, but @nattybry keeps adding provisions. That's not how betting works.
You won’t do it, but tell all of us how natty keeps adding provisions. Please tell us, because the ONLY one he’s added, and it’s well in advance of when said bet takes place, is the injury provision. But yet he “keeps” adding? Hmm.
It's like saying I bet you $100 that I can finish the marathon. And then coming back and saying "well I got injured halfway through, so I couldn't finish the marathon. The bet is cancelled".
Umm, it’s nothing like that. In your scenario, what’s being bet upon has already started. Bad example.
Its all good. Ain’t nobody gonna change anybody’s perspective around here and we could go around all day long, I’m sure.
First of all Denver STFU! You weren't part of the bet, you're just a troll instigator! Second I bet literally every day, however this is a personal prop bet that does have contingencies in place. 3rd this isn't the sports book. Keep out of it, Tacos and I already said no bet anyways. If a player gets hurt before the season or during the season obviously that prop bet couldn't meet the criteria.
Betting is betting. Rules are rules. You clearly have no clue how betting works.
No, those bets don't "happen all the time".
It was a perfect example. @nattybry said "That's stupid lol if he gets hurt the second game or something how could the bet still be on." The season would have started and @nattybry wants to renig on the bet.
You seem mad.
No, I'm not a troll. I'm just trying to explain to you how betting works.
This again is not a bet with Vegas and it's cancelled before the games start which is definitely allowed. It was a friendly player prop bet, that I simply made one injury clause not various provisions as you as a troll blatantly lied about. It appears that Tacos actually thinks Hardison isn't a Bum and would meet those numbers if he's not injured, so the point was I guess proven, so moving on good day to you!
That's like playing baseball with a group and saying "This isn't MLB. I should get as many strikes as I want". LOL
