I've been trying to play racquetball more often of late and the guy I play with, I can beat right at 60% of the time. That said - I have a shit backhand, I mean absolute shit. So the last game I tried to get him to serve from the other side of the court, at my backhand. I lost and lost badly, every single game. I'll continue to lose badly until I figure that shit out, but I guarantee you I'll figure it out.
What's best for MU is to learn to play its backhand, not to keep getting by against a weaker opponent off one trick.
You continue to misinterpret MU fan's goals in all this - we like the North titles and all - but don't worship them (like Beakers and their Orange Bowl). What we want is to simply have great football in Columbia. We know our record is going to be worse for being the SEC, but I also fully expect that we'll field teams over the coming years that would absolutely piss-pound teams like last year's and the year before's.
"Spearheading the North" will stall us. We'll be a nice little program that gets on TV sometimes but never really shows up nationally. And yeah - that's probably about where we'll end up in the SEC as well, but the odds of us being something more than that improve in the SEC over the XII.
