It went south a long time ago dude.  It's just a matter of the best path back. 

When one finds himself halfway down the mountain and looking to get to the top, it's typically in his best interest to stop heading down.

In January 2010, we found ourselves at the bottom of the mountain looking up in trying to sign another recruiting class in a 3 week time period. All the while mattresses were burning in the streets. Now, you have to determine where on the mountain you are versus January 2010. Just everyone's own perspective on where we are versus where we have been.

Well, there aren't.

No doubt.  But losing close games means progress is being made, vs. being blown out.

That doesn't mean losing is ever acceptable.

It just means winning is getting closer.

That's not a "moral victory".  A moral victory is saying, "I lost, but I feel good because the other team was so much better".   Not what I am saying at all.....

But if you think losing 49-7 would leave one just as optimisitic or pessimistic about the future as losing 38-35, then I would love to hear why.  It's all about looking to the future and where we are going vs. where we have been recently.
