Now that I've had a few days to get over the shell shock, or the hangover, or both from last Friday's Pimp Slapping we took from Smith Co., I want to state the obvious and say that SC completely and totally earned their win. Not only deserved, but did what they had to do to ensure moving on to the next round. All three phases of their game were on point, and Fayetteville's were not. If I knew how to post the picture of the Marine with the Thousand Yard Stare, that would be the best description of the feelings most of us fans had in the first half. Halfway through the second quarter, I had an out-of-body experience where I teleported/time-traveled back to November 22, 2013. Basically the same end result from that night to this last Friday. @Southtowner, you were there.
We will regroup. We will put in the work. We will continue to improve. The coach and assistants will work on what we need to do to get better. It's not "back to the drawing board", it's "Here we come again".
