A thousand ways to look at why we lost but that's what it boils down to.

A losing streak is just tough to shake, mentally.

How many times in sports do you see an up and coming team make the playoffs or get to a championship level, and they may be the better team, but they lose to someone who has experience playing at a championship level?

From the administration, to coaches. players, fans, ball boys, as a program we just need to learn to win again.

It may or may not be a perfect storm for us to break this cycle in two weeks, but if we do, we might not lose again for the remainder of the year. This team is close.

most that have not played sports at a competive level fail to realize this.  Winning (and losing) is a learned behavior.  They lost a great opportunity this past weekend to get over that hump.  Until they get that "signature win", they will not fully believe they can compete at the highest level

Our upper classmen have endured the trauma from the Petrino scandal.  Look how much it disrupted the fan base- what do you think it did to the locker room?  We then had SMILE for a season and his assistant coaches screwed him as bad as he did it to himself.  The talent was not there by the time Bielema got on the Hill. 

When you play on a team, you recognize quickly after a few games if you have any talent around you.   You KNOW when you are winning and losing because of talent and coaching.  More importantly you know when you are winning because of luck and over achieving.  When the game turns against your team do you feel confident in the players around you to do their 1/11 th?  Our team has some great players but it also some role players as starters.  This is where we are right now.
Petrino left a mess and Bielema is trying to fill in the talent gaps.  Anderson finally has some talent to work with.  He needs more at select positions and that will come in the next recruiting class. 
Posters that think they are Jim Rhome are ruining message boards.

The competition on the field has a say in this as well.
The hogs have re-learned how to win.
They just need to re-learn how to win in SEC / Big Game play now.

Unfortunately; you have to win to learn to win.
