If we lose to Temple.....

[El_Toro_86]

So, I'm wheelin' back from Publix just a few minutes ago, listening to FM sports radio when Skip Holtz gets a sound byte on the forthcoming game.

He said that a "let down", from the FSU game (which I would hasten to point out was a LOSS) would not be unexpected, given that the guys don't know one another, etc.

Now, that doesn't sound very head-coach speak to me. If you're spinning this game as the reboot of the season and a chance to redeem the

season via conference play, I don't think you should be floating the expectation of the team not being "up" for Temple. Unless...unless...that was a subtle message

that the head coach is not able to jack up the voltage.

If we lose this game? I don't hold onto the "well, we could go 5-2" followed by "well, we could go 4-3", because it eventually winds up being ZERO-N-SEVEN.

A loss to Temple signals that this party is coming to an end early on. There is more than JUST a conference win at stake on Saturday.

I think Skippy is sensing that this team ain't buying what he's selling.

If we lose to Temple, what's left to melt down?

At this point I wouldn't be neither surprised nor disappointed. Watching the Ball State, Nevada, and Rutgers stretch pretty much summed up this season. We are insanely lucky to be 2-3 and not 1-4. The expectations have changed drastically from the last melt down. Just going to take in the rest of the season and enjoy the game regardless of outcome.

I agree. All the stress of National Championships and Big East championships and bowl games and hopes of winning. None of these are things we have to stress over any more.

It's like moving to a nudist colony. Once you get over not being THAT guy, you just enjoy the pants free lifestyle.

Cmon everyone take your pants off and join us in the world where beer temperature and burger doneness are our only worries and stresses on game day.

we might want to wait until the game is played before pronouncing the patient dead

I seriously doubt we lose, but...

If we do I'm getting fire skip Holtz shirts to give away in 3 Weeks. Maybe get some Leavitt heads too, just to make a visible point.

Fine. Go ahead. No one's stopping you. And I'll be just to your left in 234.

However, thunderous applause will be replaced with civil golf-claps.

So there!

When we lose to Temple Holtz will say something like "That other team, they play great. So much greater than our team. But see how close we were to winning!? Did you see, huh!? Did ya!? Look at us, we were close to winning!"
