Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 5163870, member: 55"] I think we have different definitions of “shredded.” I haven’t seen much posting that disagrees with the fact that we’re not playing defense nearly well enough to threepeat. What I’ve seen is tons of posts thinking that “shredding” a team that is two time defending national champion and in the Top Ten as we speak is a bit much. So I’ll be clear with my opinion FWIW. We are not playing defense nearly well enough to win another championship. I think we can play defense better than we have been, but I don’t think we have the personnel to play defense anywhere near the level that we’ve played it the last few years. And the level at which we’re playing it would make a threepeat unlikely. That having been said, the Team has been winning through a string of minor and mid—level injuries, and at the moment is doing what it should be doing in January, which is competing for a conference championship and putting ourselves in a position to get to the second weekend of the tourney. Beyond that, with the roster we have, anything will be gravy. So just because some posters believe that the attitude of these posts is howling at the moon does not mean that they disagree with the fact that we’re not playing defense at an adequate level to win a championship.
