What can possibly be said that hasn't already been said. We lost to Gardner-Webb...at Rupp...by 16... Okay its done, over, finito. We don't get to go to NYC and visit the Bradley Clan. In a way it could have been a blessing in disguise. Its obvious Billy Clyde is still getting to know his team, and his team is getting to know him. Say what you want about summer workouts and such, this team and staff has only been together for about 3 weeks. What this loss does is give us another 2 weeks to get to know one another; evaluate and practice, practice, practice! It allows us to dodge a possible 2 loss showing on ESPN to UConn and Oklahoma/Memphis. Lets be real, if the Cats show up in NY playing the way they did against GW, we lose two...bad.
I for one was initially pretty disgusted last night. There was very little to get excited about (exception - Alex Leigon) But at the end of the day this provided us a thorough exploitation of our weaknesses. We absolutely have to use this loss as a learning experience and motivation for the season to come. It may be bumpy but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Be patient folks, thats all I can say. If BCG's first 2 recruits (AL, PP) are any indication on what we can expect in the future, the future looks awfully bright.
Now onto more pressing news. Its November and guess what...its still football season. I take off tomorrow night for the Vandy game. This is a very big Saturday in the SEC. With all the East teams playing extremely meaningful games, we may have some clarity into what the results will be. For us Cat fans two things MUST HAPPEN. 1) Beat Vandy 2)Florida lose If those two things happen we hold our own destiny. Simple as that. Sure it would be nice if UGA and UT lose, but it only helps if we win and Florida loses. So go CATS, and go COCKS! Wow I can't believe i'm routing for Spurrier, who knew?!?!
