A year that ends with bad tastes in the mouth will probably lose us a couple players that we are counting on to speed up the process of the improvement, chemistry development and your favorite term "Rebuilding".
Hopefully it turns around, but if it doesn't, it's quite a hard fall that's going to be difficult to get up from. And by turn around, I mean ending the season on much more positives than negatives to build upon with players that are happy and see a bright future with the program. This is why your statement that it was just one game and might or might not be for the rest of the season is a crucial one. Because the difference in what the team looks like in the next few years probably depends on which way it goes this season.

I bet wherever you work, every time they make a change, you spend two years telling everyone else how much the change sucks, how stupid it is, and how much better things were before.
Until the change becomes entrenched, and you learn to live with it and after a while, you wonder how you lived without it.
Then the next change happens. Repeat the cycle.
It's just as insufferable as it sounds.
