"Coming Together"
This team is really coming together! Last night we put another demon to rest by winning at a place where we have struggled since we have been here - Southern Miss. Our guys are playing with a great deal of confidence right now. They believe! A huge part of that win last night was the very vocal, very supportive group of UAB fans who absolutely took over Reed Green Coliseum. You have no idea how much that meant to our guys and I am convinced they didn't want to let those fans down. This is a fun team to be around. They know what's at stake and we have developed the mental & physical toughness need to win big this time of the year. The previous week we put to rest the demons at Marshall. That was a very big win coming off the difficult-to-take loss at Tulsa. I won't say much about that Tulsa game. It was one in which we played well enough to win it, but just didn't finish it off. Anyone who saw that game can draw their own conclusions, but in the course of a season this long, you are what your record says you are. There are games you win that you probably shouldn't have and there are games you lose that you probably should have won. At the end of the day it comes down to pushing the buttons that allow your team to play as hard as possible all the time & be as productive as possible all the time. That's a formula that every coach in the country is trying to bottle - just ask Notre Dame, Georgetown, etc. We are closing in on that. Our guys are getting it and as long as we stay healthy, we will continue to move a little closer to that formula each time out. We need your support though. I never take that lightly. We can FEEL IT when you are with us. It's also easy to spot when you're not.
We have a full week until our next game at home vs SMU next Saturday. It gives us a chance to rest our guys - Coach has given them Sunday & Monday off (just a lift on Monday). We'll get back in preparation mode on Tuesday. 16-8; 6-3 has us very much in the hunt. We know each time out we have to lay it on the line. So far over the past 7 or eight games our guys have learned to do that. Let's just keep it going.
GO BLAZERS!!!
