Ridiculous. It was one game.
So you were for keeping Groce? It's just one more season. When is playing without pride supposed to stop?
And honestly, I don't care if it is one game. If a guy's taking the game off, you pull him and put in a guy who can, or at least wants to contribute. In the long run, you gain more by sending the message that you gotta play with pride if you're going to be in the line-up. The team is bigger than the individual.
It concerns me that the guys who are trying the hardest may get discouraged if their teammates aren't willing to push themselves and get on the page. I don't think we have a winning culture yet, and that really concerns me. And if you're trying to convince me we don't have the roster to have won a single game, I don't believe it.
From a pure numbers standpoint, the season is a lost cause, and we have an astounding 11 conference games remaining. Let that sink in, and then tell me you don't care about guys mailing it in for "one more" game.
