To anyone that thinks bowl games are meaningless (which I agree they all are, except the playoff games), and therefore our players didn’t really give a s**t…. if that’s truly the case, then we have a huge issue.
I don’t care how “meaningless” a game might be considered by others…. if you’re a competitive athlete…. you ALWAYS want to win every game and beat the opponent across from you. And if you don’t…. you shouldn’t be playing. Go take a seat on the bench.
For our guys on the OL yesterday, they should feel like crap today, and embarrassed. You each individually got manhandled by the guy across from you all day, and you never fought back. You showed no pride for yourself or your teammates and fans.
So spare me ANY talk of our guys not caring about certain games during a season. If you’re competitive, you want to win and dominate every time you compete. And if not…. why are the coaches playing you?
Brendan Black is the only OL out there that I think truly wants to destroy his opponent every game. We need 5 of him on that OL out there.
