Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 4786201, member: 874"] I take what players and coaches say with a grain of salt. They're all too well versed in sports cliches. Hearing a player say "we weren't prepared" isn't the same as saying "the coaches didn't prepare us" or "the players had a lazy week of preparation." I think the meaning can be as simple as "we played like crap today." When a sports writer/analyst says, "we know syracuse didn't show up." I hear that as saying they know we didn't play as good as they know we can. It hurts to hear stuff like that, but I'm not reading too much into it. [/QUOTE]
