Today's team presser had questions about whether or not the Cougs would accept a bowl invitation. Rolovich gave the politically correct answer and said we haven't earned anything yet and we're 100% focused on finishing strong against Utah on Saturday. No wait, he didn't. He talked about how this was probably the end as the team is worn out from a difficult season and it wasn't going to be a traditional bowl game. George Hicks said the team is in agreement on this.
Wtf? I understand this been a difficult year. I wouldn't blame them for declining a bowl bid either. But we looked like crap against USC and we are almost double digit underdogs against the Utes on Saturday. Can we at least pretend to have not thrown in the towel until after the game starts on Saturday? If we are going to play in SLC under less than ideal circumstances, might as well give our best effort. Focusing on how unfair and challenging (all true btw) this season has been is not a recipe for playing your best.
