Subject: Here are the takeaways from the Robert Morris game

Gentlemen and ladies, we have dwelled far too long upon the Robert Morris game. If everyone agrees, I will list all of the appropriate takeaways from that game below, and we can move on from here without further comment.

1. Robert Morris won the game. They are coming off a great season and an NCAA appearance, and have a good shot at heading back to the tournament this year. Congratulations to them for a nice win against an A-10 team on their court.

2. We were in the game and could have won if we would have played better, especially down the stretch. But we didn't play better, so we lost.

3. We were missing two very important pieces of our team: Eric Evans and Damian Saunders. Yes Saunders played, but it's evident that since his return he has not been himself. Either the ankle is bothering him or something else is going on, but we did not have the Damian Saunders we know for that game.

4. I AM NOT USING EVANS AND SAUNDERS AS AN EXCUSE.

5. This was the first real D1 game for our freshmen.

6. I AM NOT USING THIS AN EXCUSE EITHER.

7. Everyone who has ever played sports, and anyone who has followed sports, knows this: Unless you just lost the championship game, you have just played and either won or lost one game. Either way, put it behind you and move on.

We've beaten Robert Morris each of the past couple of seasons and never talked about it afterwards. The fact that we're still talking about it tells me, as fans, we are not focused on the right things. I see no on talking about the fact that we have a game TONIGHT.

If you think the loss to Robert Morris means ANYTHING else, e.g., that we flat out suck this year and woe is us, then do YOURself a favor and root for them, Pitt, Duke, or someone else. But if you're truly a Duquesne fan, then suck it up and start rooting for the Dukes to be UMBC.

Now please, let's see some REAL posts (no response to this; just let the damned thing die already).

And I say this as a friend!!!

:o)
