Let's be honest and not act like playing inferior QBs is a new phenomenon at this university. Also, a preseason Griggs injury doesn't really mean much when Hopson decided he was healthy enough to play the 2nd half against Kentucky. Same thing with the Tennessee game.....Griggs was obviously healthy enough to play from the start. He didn't miraculously recover during the first half of those games and suddenly become healthy enough for Hopson to declare him ready to play after half-time.

Again.....I think Hopson wanted Howard to be that 3-year starter for him to offer stability at the position. I get it. Stability at that position is crucial to sustained success and Howard was his recruit. But there have been times this season that Hop's insistence on playing him cost us a couple wins. Howard was so bad at times that he caused Ito Smith to become a complete non-factor. That's pretty difficult to do considering how good he is. I think that's an objectively fair criticism.

I don't think it's necessarily "Daddy Ball" or a conspiracy. I just think he gave the kid too long of a leash and made the wrong decisions when selecting a starter for both of the SEC contests. It's quite a challenge to defend those decisions considering Griggs was obviously healthy enough to play.

100% correct and ive said the exact same things. Others feel the same way. Others that are in positions of authority and influence. I know this for a fact. So its not just Reggie Favre and shiftys imagination. Its just our common sense thats pointing it out on this board.

[Hopson] on Kwadra Griggs' performance: "He was spot-on Saturday. We gave him the start and he didn’t do anything to lose his spot."

Now, i don't know if this quote is accurate, but the newspaper reported it as hopsons comment, so lets assume it is.

this clown talks out of two sides of his mouth. after Keon stunk up the place several games and Griggs went in, looking like a champ against Tenn (same thing happened with Kentucky), ole Hop was FORCED to start Griggs the last game. now, to save face, Hop goes out and starts saying how Griggs never lost the job and was just injured. of course, he clearly wasn't too injured to play, bc he actually DID play the UAB and Tenn games. the injury was a convenient excuse to sit him, in hopes of his boy KH becoming the hero and "winning" the job.

again, he uses the convenient injury excuse after Griggs does awesome (does awesome while he's purportedly too injured to start, mind you [bc he didnt lose his starting job, right?]) on the 95 yard TD drive and Keon looks bad all game. in short, im not that big of an idiot and know he's been full of it and has been doing everything in his power to allow KH to be The Man. how does this guy expect us to believe that Griggs never lost his starting job, when he makes comments like the initial quote above? screw that guy. ill never forgive his Daddy Ball costing us the Kentucky and Tenn games (and maybe the UAB game).

This is the message board equivalent of the movie “Groundhog Day”.

"as far as Daddy Ball goes....well, thats what it is!"

You're literally arguing with yourself now.

Did you read and comprehend the other 500 words he typed? Try to follow along now. Its daddy ball by definition. Thats what that is. Lol. That sentence you quoted is shifty simply placating folks having trouble following along. This goes especially for rocktherock.

No, the definition of Daddy Ball is, “My kid is gonna play no matter what, and f*** everybody else.” You can quite literally look it up:

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.p...id=7474037

Quote:Daddy Ball: When a father becomes a coach so his kid can play all the time!

You don’t get to change the meaning of words and phrases just to excuse your hysterical exaggerations. A player getting 2 arguably questionable starts (Griggs’ abysmal performance vs. UAB actually confirmed that decison) out of 11 games doesn’t even begin to approach Daddy Ball. Were they questionable decisions? Sure. Daddy ball? Hell, no.

I bid this thread adieu.

How many times you gonna say goodbye before you actually leave? And to constantly harp on Grigg's performance against UAB is just pathetic on your part. He comes in with under 6 minutes left in the game down 23-12 on a cold night after sitting on the bench for almost 4 games. He is taking every shot down field trying to get his team a chance to comeback after, (and I'm saying this just to trigger you) Daddyball didn't payoff this time.

New conspiracy theory:

Hopson is banging Reggie Farve's wife/husband.

Discuss.

Man...now I remember why I got away from our message boards for so long.

lmao at HarborPointe for using Urban Dictionary as a definitive definition for anything. now YOU have reached rock bottom at trying to defend yourself and for trying to defend Hopson's QB decisons. you have now become a joke.

thank you for your common sense post. unfortunately, Harbor will make up something else stupid to defend Hopson's QB decisions.

and now this guy decides to make an appearance. Another butt hurt Hopson, Keon lover / Griggs denier.
