... I try to stay away from the board. It seems many negative attitudes come out.
It is not as if the players are not trying or Pope is trying to lose. Sometimes all the buttons that a coach pushes just do not reset the team or make a difference. Last night is a prime example.
The players that played well against A&M had been playing poorly in other recent games. And players that have been playing well missed too many assignments.

I guess beating Purdue in the preseason set expectations too high for some.

Outside of a miracle, we are going to lose 14 games. If that is setting expectations too high then I don't know what to tell you.
