In reply to: CLK 's message, "After three games" on Wednesday, November 24, 08:33:51am

to focus on a �get back� game to make up for Robert Morris. Winning teams have to beat UMBC and Wisky-GB. Pitt is a tough task for any team in the country therefore the focus should be win 1 of 2 at PSU or home versus WVU. My count had the Dukes at 5-3 after the WVU game with loses to Pitt/PSU and WVU. If the Dukes don't "get back" a game reality (without trying to sound negative) says record will be 4-4.

Your point is understood, but knowing Motor he was referring more to the hit-and-run trolls who only seem to show up after a loss, rather than constructive discussion. And you mentioned something that I was also thinking about: We need to win a game we're "supposed" to lose. Not that the RMU game will hurt us; they will be an NCAA team again this year. But we need to win as many games as possible to have a shot at postseason. I think it comes down to playing with intensity, and getting Saunders healthy.

Greg your point is well taken also. I certainly agree that negative comments/criticism when appropriate are certainly welcome on a board like this. My only point was in all the finger pointing and negative thoughts around lets look at the good side also the glass is always half full or empty.! (NT) -- Motor, Wednesday, November 24, 04:21:04pm
- Motor, thanks. That was also exactly the point of my post. We have all read the negative comments. Some are constructive comments and some are not. I was just trying to provide a little balance. Happy Thanksgiving my friend, (NT) -- CLK, Wednesday, November 24, 05:42:54pm
- Understood. Happy Thanksgiving (NT) -- Greg, Thursday, November 25, 10:29:30am
