I feel for our kids who have given so much this season. They deserve better.
yeah, the dropped INTs, the missed FGs, the poor officiating...its all on the coaches.
the lobo question is sort of what i'm getting at. it's also just to better contextualize the general sentiment on the boards. someone who is in their 20ties would have had a decade of intelligent football watching at most. someone in their 50s would have seen and experienced much more football wise and could possibly have a more comprehensive understanding of general football related topics. of course that's not necessarily true, but at any rate i wanna know the age distribution on the board.
Yes, the defense was awesome when we gave up two 80 yard drives for TDs yet the offense had a shot at the end zone and we didn't execute. I give up. You guys are hopeless. Drive yourselves nuts... I'm out.
Hard to argue with that logic. I definitely would have preferred that Grobe had hired an OC in his 50s who would have seen and experienced much more football wise instead of going with 33 year old Steed Lobotzke.
i didn't make a point so much as outlined a possibility. at any rate the question interests me.
How do you plan to answer it with that poll?
I'm a bit confused, answer what question? the poll is only intended to tell me about the general age make up of the forums. what you draw from that information is up to the individual. like i said before there is a possibility that older posters may know more about football, but that's just a possibility and if there is any correlation between age and football IQ or knowledge I would expect it to be weak. it would be an interesting question to explore though.
The question that interests you. Weird to start by asking what question then end by talking about the question.
i didn't know what you meant is all. it was late perhaps it was obvious i don't know.
don't read too much into the age question. i do tend to support lobo but while reading all these arguments it occurred to me i could be reading drivel from a 12 year old, or from a 60 year old ex highschool OC (to name two extremes).
I've always been interested to get whatever background I can on posters to better contextualize their posts. Like when you talk about something social science related i'm more likely to pay attention to you than when you talk about something physics related, to make an example.
I guess I am arguing a subtle point with the question though: are the regular posters on this board, regardless of where they stand, qualified to judge our OC? if there is a 50% chance that a given post is written by a 20 to 29 year old then i tend to think no, simply because they almost couldn't even have lived long enough and seen enough football.
