Longtime member of the board, but it has been quite awhile since I posted anything meaningful.
The overall feel of the board and Bulls Nation has been the same as a beach ball without air. A worthless piece of mierda. This type of attitude makes me feel terrible and wish I had the power to change it.
I am in the middle of a 1 yr bicycle trip from the top of Alaska to the bottom of Argentina. Currently, I am in Mexico. I have watched all of our games this yr with the same fervor as I have done in person for so many years. What I have seen has often made me cringe, probably more so because I am not in person and feel helpless. Today I saw more of the same; penalties, dropped passes, and missed blocks. But more important was a severe lack of an attitude to change what was happening. It is one thing to lose to a superior talent, but it is another to lose because of a lack of effort.
Thankfully our Bulls came out of halftime with a focus to execute in a proper fashion. Was it pretty? of course not. Was it smooth? Most definitely not. But at the end of the day we won. And that is all that matters.
Aa fanatics we must also look in the mirror. We aren't the prettiest job in the land, but we are far from the worst. In the past we have had an underdog spirit that was contagious. Let's regain this confidence and move forward into the future. A future where our offensive players truck the defense and our defense smears the opponent.
Go Bulls.
