ARE they even good enough to get a good practice in against or help us get better in any way? How and why did we wind up with SLU on our schedule? I just don't see what we get out of this game. There are cup cakes and then there is this. How do the players even get up for a game like this. To have a good practice you have to have the right mindset to where you have a certain concentration level and I just don't see that happening. I just see a sloppy useless practice happening that we get nothing out of and probably causes more harm than good.

We play against one FCS team every year dude. There's no need to get upset about this just now

I get what you're saying but good teams need to use the copcakes to work on execution vs someone other than their own team. Even really good boxing prospects don't start off facing champion level talent right off the bat. They face taxi drivers and scrubs to build confidence. Confidence matters.

If they take the opponent seriously it can be a huge confidence boost. It shows that the process works. If you don't take the opponent seriously and you just go through the motions, then yes it's a complete waste. So it shows where the team is as far as maturity goes.

Players generally have a poor barometer on how much effort they need to exert to perform well vs an opponent. So when their feelings of the opponent's capabilities doesn't match the reality, that's when you have let down games. This team shouldn't be taking anyone lightly.
