Im proud of my Buffs. Im proud of the way they played. Im especially proud of how close the game was, how we stayed with them lock step. How they battled right up to the end. How they showed a lot of fight.
It's easy for me to feel this way because I expect them to lose.
This is a game where just a couple of years ago we would have just laid down. Where the fight would have gone out of them after the lead was over taken. We would see quit in their eyes. Coaches looking like deer in the head lamps with no response. Fast forward and I see a team that is significantly much better coached and prepared. Yes, there were coaching mis steps today, there always are. We just dont have as many anymore. This team has a deeper reservoir of heart, and is getting much closer to taking *the next step*. They didnt give up. Unfortunately we didnt close today. Were still missing some key pieces. Were quite young and the future is bright.
Go Buffs! Dont give up.
