Hope Players Don't Get Discouraged...

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

My concern is the team may get disheartened with being on the outside looking in during the snapshot in time playoff "update" tonight.

The staff has a tough job trying to get these kids to focus on opponents and tune out the noise.

Good luck Cards!

I see it the other way. I see it making them more determined. I think they'll look at #5 as a bit of disrespect and make them more focused than ever to prove themselves. I hope so anyway.

Agree, I think they will use this as motivation over the next 2 weeks. I know I would.

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

I hope you are correct.

Absolutely, go kick butt and make them create reasons to say were not good enough. Fuel for the fire.

Disrespect is one helluva motivator...

I'd rather play pissed off then gloating about my rankings....lets stop a mud hole in Houston

I'd worry more about them being disappointed and discouraged in a non-playoff bowl game. Now is not the time to give up, they aren't where they want to be yet but there is still time to get there

All we had to do is take care of our business but we lost to Clemson. So we have to win out and hope for other losses.

 

[KozmasAgain]

I would think it would motivational instead of the other way.

 

[kypecos]

If you've ever played competitive sports at a high level, you know darn well that the team will take this disrespect and eat it up.

 

[OmegaCard]

I hope we quit turning the ball over and dropping wide-open passes. The rest is money in the bank.
