Volume 3: Wednesday, Nov. 19

Hello again.  It has been a tough week so far, losing to Green Bay at home, the Wisconsin Badgers on the road, and Wyoming last night.  I'm not going to lie and say that we are not frustrated. 

After the loss to Wyoming last night, we all sat in that locker room for fifteen minutes after the coaches had left.  Nobody said a word.  Sitting there, thinking about the game with my teammates, I realized that this is when we need to pull together and fight.  Fight through defeated thoughts, fight through being tired, fight through any game like it is our last. We need to fight for each other.

We fight to get better and we do it despite all the obstacles.

We are all stubborn enough to never give up and we know that we have another tough week ahead of us. 

Bring it on. 

The scariest thing about a team is they have nothing to lose and are therefore capable of anything.  We are that team this year-the underdog with nothing to lose.  We will continue to scrap for every ball, to fight for every rebound, and to never give up.

I want to thank the fans for sticking with us through these tough times and for not losing faith in us.  We need that support, especially now as we face off against a high caliber of teams.  You don't know how much we really appreciate it. 

Thanks for reading.
