[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1265922, member: 4069"] I did something similar. I got a LOT of flak for saying our main weaknesses had not been addressed, and was not a believer in the coach or his scheme. By far the dominant view was that I was being terribly negative and not appreciating how the injuries were the problem. On balance, being negative on these boards makes you a pariah, even when you can defend your position with specifics. My one and only hope for this game was that we demonstrated some fight --get 50-50 balls, play defense, don't get disorganized just because you're getting beat, stick with Lucas because he's the best long term solution and can run an offense. Have some identity. You saw what happened. Purdue stomped on our throats, and the outcome was never in doubt. They shot well at the start, but I don't think it really mattered much. Playing through adversity is what makes teams worth watching, and I just don't see much toughness facing adversity over several seasons now. That goes right to the head coach. [/QUOTE]
