well the cycle we've been on is well documented.
i'm not ready to go to all the places you went here, with this staff yet. but last saturday was the first time i peeked down that path....the undisciplined play was not good...compounding the already horrific turnovers and other mistakes.
i think it's hard to judge committment level. and i have to go back to the circumstance this staff took over to begin with. our program was not a year or two, or even 3...away....most of us knew and acknowledged that.
the one thing i think most agreed on as well was that for this staff to be successfull long term, somewhere in the first few years, they were going to have likely "coach" their way to a big win. that hasn't happened yet. and we're in the middle of year 3, which would be a good time to do that....of course this year three is not like other year 3's.................
the frustrating part is that i think most of us, definitley me, thought performances like last Saturday against opponents like that were behind us. we may lose, to a peer (UK, MO, USCe et al...) but we're not getting blown out by 3 TD's by teams like that anymore.....wrong.
so that sucked. leaves an awful tasted behind....and the reaction this week is simply due to the fact that taste is still there, and now eveyrone is recalling anything close to a bad meal they've had over the past 3 years......
the next two weeks are big....because that will likely dictate how the next 5 games go.
