So, why are you focused on the "butt hurt" reaction of WSU fans if the pre-season poll is so un-important?
You might start focusing on why your team tripped on their zipper in a non-preseason game, which has a bearing on how the season will turn out. Also, asked your coach if he wants to rescind that vote he cast.
I'm not "focused" on the reaction. More just mentioning it because it seems no one is going to let it go unless we do in fact win the league. I agree it is highly unlikely that this team will win the league, but in my opinion, there's nothing bad that can come from showing your team that you have confidence in them publicly. I understand the whole "fueling the fire" aspect for WSU, but I really don't see it making that much of a difference.
Anyways, I didn't see the game, but I was able to listen to the second half on the radio. Looking at the stats though, our shooting obviously is the glaring problem. I think that will improve vastly in the next game or two, as the team gets over the first game jitters. Like I said, if they lose to Weber St (or any other bad team on our schedule), then I'll consider hitting the panic button. But for now, I'll reserve judgement.
