Apparently it's a must win?

[MuMark]

Wow that article was stupid.

He says if we lose to X then we have to win 2 of the next 3.......then 5 more......and Then do damage in the BET!

I mean seriously........

11-7 won't get it done! He thinks we play in the B10!

Cut the kid some slack he's a junior at MU, he's never been around the program when we've actually been good. Only an up for debate season and  a squeak in. We all know what the bar is over the years but he doesn't.

It's not even close to must-win. Not. Even. Close.

And the article was horribly written, too.

Sure it's not must win but every game has weight to it. A win and the pressure to sweep the lowly 3 is reduced dramatically. Also the need to split with the middle 4. Sure that adds to 10 but 10 wins does have its own pressures. What does a 9-9 0-1BET feel like? It feels like a nervous Sunday to me.

I know we'll get the usual suspects to say "9-9 sure thing". But I'm not saying that.

All I'm saying is that, @X and vsV are games we can lose and not lose hope. But they have serious implications.

They really have major implications if we win if we lose we just have to take care of the games we are supposed to win.

Must-win games don't start until the BET.
