Personally, I’m really sick and tired of the whole “super bowl” excuse…. because that’s all it is….. an excuse.
Players need to get up for every single game on the schedule and give full effort, and if they don’t, that’s on them and the coaching staff.
Just start beating them….. period! On several occasions, in football, MBB, and WBB, I feel like we had the better teams…. and still lost.
If anything, that tells me that we take these games more seriously than Iowa does because we try too hard and make mistakes that we don’t normally make. The pressure is all on us to win, and we can’t handle it.
There’s no better example than this year’s football game. We completely folded under the pressure and importance of this game. We clearly had the better roster and team IMO.
