I have exchanged messages with multiple student athletes in the last 48 hours. I have wondered--"How is the locker room," meaning the mental status of the team. According to many, it's been a rough for the team to get ready for games. The homecoming loss to NAU hit the team pretty hard, and guys in the program had the "Here we go again" mentality afterwards. The common opinion--that hangover carried over into the PSU game.
Based on what I am being told, the feeling that "football is not fun anymore" is reaching critical mass on the team (if it hasn't reached it already). The attitude is like "Damn, now I have to go to practice" as opposed to wanting to go because it is enjoyable. I am also hearing that a number of kids are actually counting down the days until the season is over. I know of three more players that are leaving the program at semester. Two on the defense and one on the offense.
By the way--these are unconfirmed sources and I have not been in contact with anyone in the athletic department to get their side of the story.
