Something was missing tonight that's been there in wins like Auburn and Florida, our other wins, our second half at Tennessee, even Kentucky.
As a Beamer guy, this was the most dissapointing aspect of a season where I thought we had generally overachieved. If you are going to win here though, even with better talent one day, you have to go out and play with passion every game, every half. We did not do that at times this year, and did not show up Saturday against a superior hated rival.
Beamer apologized in his presser for his team's performance. I hope that was not just coach speak and balm for the masses. He's not one to say anything tough or stern about individuals.
Perhaps he's one whose actions, however, will reflect his dissapointment.
