Turbine, you have to implement a character count limit on these essays people are writing.

LOL <---- that should help my average.

I think the tone of a post on here can get misinterpreted quite easily. I'm never mad when I post, and I'm rarely mad even if a poster cusses me out. I like challenging people and like to be challenged. I have no problem being corrected. I actually read every side of things and use it to harden my compass or make me consider a change of direction. Often on here, it's either no real deep thought given to a subject... or it goes into full metal jacket warfare over slight differences of opinion.

I respect your take on the team this season. That includes your overall view and the details. I saw this game as a "a team broke the defensive strategy Bob's been serving". You tend to agree... but you see it as a "it happened... but it isn't a rigid recurring feature of us and them... it just happened that night". I can live with that. I can't deny that GASt has losses and other stats that don't point to a "better team". I'm a little concerned, and was trying to convey, that we are so steady this season, that we will almost always beat teams we're slightly better than (player to player, scheme for scheme) but will likely almost always lose to those who better us. I know that's not the least bit "common" for basketball. A bad night opens the door for 50 teams that a good night slams the door in their face.

Again, I seriously like this team... for reasons too hard to list. I just "worry" that they aren't built for upsets. But they're also built to not be upset. That's not always a great post season characteristic. Our great teams of the past worried me that they might take a night off. But they also seemed to be built to upset giants. And Cajun fans want to see victories of value way more than an accumulation of lower value wins. Basketball only rewards the former these days.

I've seen even National Champions that lose games during the course of their season that they shouldn't. Kentucky loses to LSU, Duke to St. Johns, Arizona to NC State etc.... Its the course of the season. You can't be at your best every single night. I think sometimes people lose sight of that. Its about how consistent you are (which we have been somewhat) and hopefully improving and playing your best at the end of the season that is most important. If you see another major outburst today by Ga Southern, there would certainly be room for concern but long seasons are rarely seen without team struggles. I'd like to think last night was one of those nights.

Oh ____, I need to get off. Character count and all we're being watched.....

Deep thoughts require deep explanation sometimes. You don't like it, you don't have to read it.

I see 1000 short posts that add nothing to threads. But I keep it to myself. I could also torch some people's oversimplified opinions... but I don't.
