I hate having to be the one to do this, because it gets me labeled a sunshine pumper, a Mason apologist, an excuse-maker, or lots of other pejoratives we’ve devised for people who don’t express the appropriate amount of anger about losing.
I don’t like losing. I don’t like the current three-game losing streak. I stopped watching the Alabama loss after about the first quarter because I had better things to do than watch Alabama continue stabbing us after we were already dead.
That said, the 3-0 start did, in fact, happen and it hasn’t been completely erased by the three-game losing streak.
