Are we as good as the team that shot lights out and beat Lipscomb? The team that swept Mercer?

Are we as bad as the team that was embarassed by Jacksonville and ETSU? Got swept by USC Upstate?

The answer is "yes" to each question. If we're hot enough we have the ability to beat anyone in conference. If we're cold enough we lack the ability to beat anyone in the conference. This comes with a team as young as ours. Our win streak was just that.. a streak. We didn't grow into a powerhouse overnight. We still lack talent, consistency, and composure to compete on an everyday basis with the best in the league. But we have reached a point where we do have the ability to win these games wihtout it being an "upset". We're making strides but lets keep things in perspective. Its never as good as it looks, or as bad as it seems.

Good solid statement. If we can all adopt that mindset as fans we won't experience as many mood swings :)
