[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1552866, member: 590800"] I had a crazy week with traveling and school work, so I actually had no idea we had players out until I flipped on the game. So, here are my novice fan thoughts after a day of reflection: - When I tuned in, we looked like crap, and I thought to myself ... probably time to move on after this year, because I'm sick of seeing players who are "pumped up" but at the same time seemingly going through the motions and ignoring basic fundamentals. - When I realized we had so many players out, I kind of adjusted my expectations. Going into the mini comeback, I actually was feeling a little better - something like, "hey, we might win another game or two!" - After seeing Taylor try to engineer that comeback, I came away actually pretty optimistic. That kid can play, and I loved watching him compete! (PEORIA, represent!) A mistake or two due to inexperience might have literally been the difference. I think we have a real shot against Minnesota, honestly. However, we would have to fix some holes, for sure. No! More! Slow! Starts! That MSU comeback last year was enough "coming back" for me for a while, haha. [/QUOTE]
