I always believed that the three game stretch [VT, BC, and Cal] would ultimately determine what type of season we were eventually going to have.

The two main reasons I felt this way were [1] that we have had hot starts the prior two seasons offset by midseason swoons that were mostly attributable to injury attrition, and [2] that we haven't fared well in November, again mostly due to injuries impacting key personnel compromising depth.

My hope was that we'd win 2 out of 3 -- and we got off to a good start with a quality win against Virginia Tech.  But losing to BC was a step backwards, and now we have a difficult road game, where we also have to deal with the opposite coast challenge.  Lose again, and I think it is safe to say that a once-promising season has taken a turn toward the disappointing.

Now, can the season still be salvaged?  Sure.  Win this upcoming game at Cal [no easy feat], and the ship will be righted, and the fans will quickly put the BC loss behind them.  But lose again?  Man, hard not to feel like we'd be in tailspin... with the gales of November threatening to capsize us again.
