[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1374360"] Great post. Do I think these kids have given up? It's very possible. But not because they don't care. Sooner or later, losing takes a mental toll, and I'd bet that string of heartbreaking losses early in the season really killed this team emotionally. It's hard enough for a team to come back with a gut check moment time and time again. It's harder for a young team without a lot of experience winning games to do it. At some point, losses mount and the whole thing snowballs into an avalanche of losing. That's what I think we're facing now. I feel for them. But I also realize that this system may not be the right fit for everybody. [/QUOTE]
