[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1419394, member: 590800"] Yeah, to clarify [I]my[/I] previous post, I am not in any way on the ridiculous "This Lovie experiment is a failure" train quite yet. That loss was just so devastating, and it was full of the exact types of silly mistakes and complete defensive breakdowns that I really thought we had moved past. Losing to Purdue at home is nothing to cancel a season over, but as others have said ... it's the WAY we lost. And that way was embarrassing. The eternal optimist side of me says that PU was a matchup nightmare for us, and we can still maybe grind out a win vs. one or more of Minnesota, Nebraska or even Maryland or Northwestern ... the negative side says that is the type of loss that can drain confidence and - coupled with a bad loss in Madison next week - cause this season to spiral out of control, writing off a lot of games that SHOULD be winnable. I would be so ecstatically pleased if it's the former, but the Monday mornin' blues have me fearing I've seen this movie before. :( [/QUOTE]
