Beat EMU!!

[BGFan]

Who would have thought that BG men would have a better record than our women and in first place!!!!

To make such a prediction a month ago, you'd had to be smoking some real high quality sh*t, that's for sure. But such is life I guess, you think you know everything, and then things change and you don't. But hey, I'm not going to complain about this. Our men have really pulled together and look like they are building steam as the 2nd round of east games and the postseason approaches.

I should point out though, that we had to go down to the wire to beat two of the worst teams in Division I the last two games. While W's are W's no matter if you win by 1 or 50, I do wonder if we'll be able to keep it up against better opposition coming down the stretch. We're not good enough to just coast by teams, so I don't think it's that.

Cautious optimism, I think is the correct term here.

Let's recap the main points shall we:

1.Last month, you'd have to be nuts to think our men would have a better in-conference record than our women. True. The men had 2 wins and the women had one loss.

2.The men are playing better and building momentum. True. They've won 5 of 7 games in MAC play.

3.We just beat two of the worst teams in Division I by close margins. True. Toledo and EMU have RPIs in the 300s, so these are games we should have won. Neither of those games was over until the final two minutes.

4.We're not good enough to coast by teams. True.

So yeah, please explain to me how that last post was pessimistic in nature.

I think its pessimistic to focus on the negatives during a 9-3 run

I hate to say it, but you're basically a downer. I rarely read a post from you where you're thrilled with what has been happening with any of our teams. You always have to throw cold water on the subject at hand. You need a serious attitude adjustment because you NEVER conclude a post with anything positive.....

In life, it's foolish to ignore certain facts and willfully take an imbalanced view of reality for the sake of being "positive". Really, what the hell is that? Willful self-deception. A "learned inability to learn". The facts are what they are.

Enough with the philosophy. I'm enjoying our run. We have our limitations, but what the hell, we have as good a shot as anybody to win the MAC tournament. I would've like to see bigger margins over Toledo and EMU, but to be fair, both teams played much better than their RPIs.

Just keep winning, baby. By 1 or 40, doesn't matter to me. I love seeing this team doing what they are doing.

This is just the kind of bickering and infighting crap I hate about the members of this site.
