Perhaps Mike's disillusionment

Arch, you are the biggest pussywhiner I know when it comes to BYU sports.

Just admit you enjoy being miserable.

True that. The second and third attempts by MSU ridiculous. Our players are soft. They were getting pushed around all game. Trent was establishing position 17 ft from the hoop. I liked the few times that Burgess posted up Neitzel. I wished they would have done that a few more times. Murdock has to shoot more. They were playing 5' off of him all game daring him to shoot. I know he wants to facilitate the offense, but shooting will help him do that better. JT can't create his own shot unless his back is to the rim. But we haven't seen too much of that for awhile. Izzo coached a great game. He was rotating his players in and out like hockey lines to keep them fresh. BYU lost to a more physical team, not necessarily a better team. This was won we should have won. Had we made our free throws, especially the front end of the 1 and 1's and rebounded like we're capable of then we would have won easily.

We're really, the not-quite-ready-for-prime-time players.

Things are never as bad or as good as they seem to be. (I love that saying.)

One out of three against 3 top 10 teams is pretty good. And it wasn't exactly like we got outclassed in those two losses either.
