Re: drop in CBS poll
I think it was the way we performed...lot of players were at the Ale House Saturday night and they acknowledged they played poorly and as hard as they and the coaches tried, everyone was looking towards the Miami game.

Even my wife said it was boring and she has no knowledge of the team other than what I subject her to.

Re: drop in CBS poll
We came out pretty focused, but getting a big lead so quickly killed that. Hard to expect the guys not to look ahead at that point.appaneer1984 wrote:I think it was the way we performed...lot of players were at the Ale House Saturday night and they acknowledged they played poorly and as hard as they and the coaches tried, everyone was looking towards the Miami game.

Re: drop in CBS poll
And it afforded the opportunity to rest some guys who were a little banged up and to give playing time to others --- To me, it was about the best thing to happen - get an early lead and coast - I never felt the ODU game was in any doubt - boring second half? - Yes - but I'll take that with what is coming this week ---JTApps1 wrote:We came out pretty focused, but getting a big lead so quickly killed that.

And I'll state this again - It wasn't too long ago we were trying TO ESCAPE THE BOTTOM 10 ---

Re: drop in CBS poll
I wonder what it was like for ODU to know we were on cruise control all while having to listen to promotions for next weeks game? That has to hurt your pride a bit.

Re: drop in CBS poll
I was honestly surprised how early in the game those promos started. The players hear that the same as the fans and I believe that could've been a point at which the Apps started to lose focus. Regardless, you held a team to 7 points in a home and home series, time to get that started with Miami.JTApps1 wrote:I wonder what it was like for ODU to know we were on cruise control all while having to listen to promotions for next weeks game?
