No, because I don’t think Archie will allow the team to play such pathetic defense that they allow that to happen again. I’m also hopeful that the players will start playing with enough pride and effort to make sure they don’t allow that to happen again. Regardless, your bet doesn’t negate the fact that you’re making excuses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And where did I say that? I wasn’t aware that declining to make excuses for pathetic effort in the first two games means I don’t think the team is going to improve.

Rather have more of a positive outlook that just look at things negatively all the time. Some people can still see some good things even during some games as well. Some will look at positives and some will only look at negatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stated facts, those facts didn’t care about your feelings, so I am a homer and a loser. Let me know where you want me to send your prescription.

Haha yep, your “facts” proved exactly how bad we got smoked by ISU. But don’t worry, they just got lucky! I’m sure we’ll win every game from here on out. Keep the pills for yourself just in case we don’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addictedtoIU Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 I don't expect a win, but I want to see some fight and emotion from our players. Without that, this game can get away from us easily right from the get-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaHoosierFan Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 I don't understand why everyone can't just admit we might not be very good this year. It happens to everyone. Sometimes the make up of a team just doesn't work. I hope we get better but i am not throwing out the baby with the bather water if we don't. Its OK to look at this team and say, well maybe the change in coaching and the lack of step up players just isn't going to do it this year. We don't have to make excuses for being bad, we're going to be ok. We also don't have to bury our heads in the sand and cry that the sky is falling. The future is bright with a good coach and some talented young players here and incoming. Just enjoy the new players and learn who they are.

Hoosierhoopster Posted November 14, 2017 Report Share Posted November 14, 2017 Guys, let's not devolve into calling people homers and losers, etc. We can all feel strongly about our team or our opinions without resorting to name calling, or trivializing a person. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just don't have a cohesive team that can progress as the season goes. But at the same time, I think this is a great test for CAM to really show what he can do. With that said, I'm slowly getting ready to go through a 15-win season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
