My wife calls me an optimist, (actually I play out every possible senario in my head, almost all ending in death and destruction, anything better than that makes me happy) so as such, things could be much worse, and this non con result could be a good thing. They have proven they could/should be undefeated. They skipped 3 halves, 4 if you count Vanderbilt's first half, and lost 3 games by a total of 9. What more motivation can Archie give them? If they just showed up for those 3 halves. . . . The players have to live with the losses, and hopefully they don't want to repeat that. Now, I don't expect an 18-0 conference record, but it is definitely in the realm of possibilities, they just can't take a game, or even a half off again. (BTW, you don't want to know how the senarios played out in my mind. NIGHTMARES)
