I may too be far of an optimist. I may just want to love this team. I may be a lot of things. I don't think anything is dead yet though. I don't see anywhere that we are mumped or can't improve upon. (I'm not saying that we will, but to assume we are dead on hopes is saying that their are areas that cannot be fixed.)
We just seem to hit and miss. Some nights everything is rolling and some nights we are very one sided. Maybe we are a bad team, maybe we haven't even formed a team yet. I see the latter, but am not so blind to possibility of the former. By bad team, I mean middle of the pack big 12 by our recent standards.
It just appears we have a bunch of guys trying to fill multiple holes depending on personnel that is in the game. We don't have, aside from guys with limited skill sets, guys that have defined roles. We have people jumping around and trying to and having to be different things at different times in the game. Maybe good teams can do this and do this well, and that is where we fail. But I feel there is not certainty. There is nothing to count on. We have multiple guys that can step up and take charge and be counted upon, but never on a game to game basis. That is where this team lacks, and i feel this is where they lack only. I will get offline, because I'm curious to see what people have to say about this.
