Did I misrepresent myself? I'm trying to say tap the breaks on any "we are free falling". I'm not justifying losses when the load is more than usual. I feel like there's a difference between these.
We can disagree on the work load, and still agree it's too soon for "free falling". How about this
We loafed around at the beginning of the UTSA game, the worst we've seen in years, and fell short of winning it despite the 1H performance.
Then we lost a matchup that's been a toss up every time for years. The UAB games seem to almost come down to a last shot, and can go either way.
I need waaaay more evidence before I consider these the beginning of a freefall. I mean, we might be entering one, but right now it's just 1) a game we lost that we should have won. Every team in the country suffers 2-ish of these each season. and 2) a loss in a series that seems like it's 50/50 every time.
I hope I've clarified my position here. Here's a picture of some hot dates.
This is one we were insanely too late on and the recruiting team should be reprimanded.
On a separate note, how does a ‘26 kid from a premier school with over 30 offers not have a rating yet, 247??? Wtf?
Sometimes, it's the mental fatigue more so than physical. It's hard to get up emotionally for every game when theres that many in a short period of time. Ive thought weve looked flat the last couple of games. Plus, I think one of our guys was battling illness. So there's that too.
Then play them in their house. An away loss at Kentucky is worth more than a home win versus Mississippi Valley. I'd rather have 4 road games against high-major schools than play bottom of the barrel schools at home. If you split those road games vs high majors, that likely puts you at 2-2 in Quad 1 games which would look great on our resume. A Quad 1 road game just needs to ge top 75. At our house they have to be top 30. It's almost more beneficial to be on the road because there's more room for error. Neutral site opponents need to be top 50 which is why so many schools do those tournaments. There's a ton of room for error. You just need to go .500.
