Of course I am disappointed. So are the coaches and players and anyone with the best interests of the program at heart.

My point is this: that there is no point in kicking a dead horse. It's dead already. The loss is a loss. So... like it or not, we are where we are. That's not defeatist; it's realistic.

It's time to move on. Are you ready yet? The coaches, players and anyone with common sense can and will do so now since there is no other choice- apart, of course, from depressing others and wasting time. The coaches and players have to prepare for the rest of the season, something that the moaners on this thread seem all too ready and able to forget.

And so you can claim that 80% of Ivy games should be wins.
Not sure how you can expect or claim that without any context. But that's your choice.

Go 'gate!

1. you contradict yourself
2. are you a coach? if not, how do you speak for them and the players?
3. if you don't review past performance and point out mistakes and faults you do NOT get better

Here's some historical context. Biddle in 18 years won 80% of games against Ivy opponents. Dunlap in 12 years won 74% of games against Ivy teams (and half of those years Ivy teams were Div I/IA and much stronger than today).

Of course there are some very good Ivy teams some years, and expectations against these teams must be adjusted, but winning 50% of Ivy games in the scholarship era would be disappointing. Agree it's time to move on and beat Georgetown.
