I usually agree with all your points, but disagree about the conference change. I think think we’d be facing the same thing in any other conference.. the biggest thing and reason for all these losses is the lack of energy to start games. Especially on the defensive end. This team plays no defense.. or they play some defense sporadically. They play aggressive defense when they have dug a hole and have almost dug themselves out of the hole, but only one game resulted in a win and it was vs Virginia Tech. 

All this said, I remain optimistic and hopeful. It’s been a rough year and hope we get everyone back, of course minus graduating seniors, and I know brighter days are ahead.

Although, I did let the negativity and frustration get the best of me in my posts today.

two "great games" upcoming at Maples? Please, that's not going to happen this year.

It very well could.  We are 12-3 at home.  We are 2-9 on the road.  Both the upcoming 2 games are against opponents that are not overpowering.  I am not going to predict two wins, but with emotions high for our own senior day it is possible we go out on a positive note.

At some point we are going to HAVE to think hard about the gross disparity between home games and away games and then I think we will conclude that the conference change has been much, much harder than all those optimists predicted.
