Nationally Recognized Frustration

Well at least we're not alone in our disdain for MU finishing out games.

Any one of us could've written that story.  In fact, many of us already have right here over the last few weeks.

At some point, though, it's not enough to just be a tough out. It's not enough to compete on a tempo-free basis. Bottom line, you have to win games, and when you have chances to beat ranked teams, sooner or later you have to take them.

I think this really sums everything up well. We may be tough to beat, but that doesn't actually make us tough. We have to start winning to be tough. Saturday is a great time to start showing that, because we haven't done a very good job of it so far.
