Ragin Pagin 2045: "Back in the day, kid, we didn't always get to use the transporter... or even fly on what they called airplanes. We sometimes had to ride in a thing called a bus... rolling on the ground. It was a living hell, kid. I hope you never have to experience it."
There's a reason they call it "The last LEG of the journey."
Ragin Pagin 2045: "Don't think that we didn't know that some of you took advantage of the time warp during beaming. After the game, we will check biological clocks and determine how many of you went places and did things you weren't supposed to. They'll be no excuses for jelly legs. Fortunately, we were able to rebuild Johnny's cranium crack during particle beam repair by our sports medicine nanoparticles. Johnny will start again tonight. Please understand, the NCAA AI will be doing tests to determine if anyone did particle enhancements during transformation. Do not let boosters talk you into these enhancements. It's illegal. Do not get fooled by the crowd holograms this team uses. Remember, if they have glowing red eyes... they are not human. Just think of them as the blue tarps Tech still uses. Keep your eye shields in plasma mode the entire game... and your inner ear coach transmitter on... even when on the real or virtual bench. Geaux Cajuns on three!"
Those were great teams, I think this may be a great team.
Some say this travel screw up isn’t anything. Good teams overcome. Well they’re right and wrong. It’s something and we are a good team and overcame. Just because we overcame doesn’t mean it’s nothing. Michael Jordan overcame with high fever in fact having one if his better games. Doesn’t mean it wasn’t a barrier, just that’s why he’s Michael Jordan and others aren’t.
Coming back twice from double digits leads to having UTA desperately fouling us is testimony to our teams specialness.
I know in the case of my comments, they were totally misunderstood. I know that travel is tougher than playing at home. And certainly any changes will have an affect. My point has been, all along, that that I STILL expected this team to win. Not because road games aren't tough, but because I think this particular team is special. That was the WHOLE point. I expect this team to win anyway, because I think this is not your normal team.
I will not reduce expectations for this team to fit some standard narrative. I think this is a special team.
This. Team. Is. Special.
Man, they play hard.
