These guys have been hearing everyone tell them how great they are all summer. I'm sure Rick was telling them to not take these guys lightly, but that always seems to fall on deaf ears in this kind of situation. Have seen it happen MANY times personally.
like you as a coach NEVER had a team lay an egg even though you warned them to not take someone lightly. I'm sure. You were the greatest coach in America. Where are you coaching now? Oh wait..you're not.
