re: Western Kentucky is potentially a trap game for us.

When have we ever lost a game like this under miles? This is not a trap game. A trap game is a game where you should win but could lose without your best game. It is not a game where you would have to play historically bad to lose. A trap game is not the type of game that goes down as one of if not the biggest win in the winning teams history.

Now we're quibbling over definitions. To me, a trap game is one where a team isn't ready to play emotionally, usually due to a big game or stretch of games just before. Whether that opponent is pretty good, or a dog, doesn't factor into the definition. Any team can lose if they don't bring enough emotional intensity. We've seen it many times.
