It was the 3-game lossing streak GT-Liberty that dropped us
In an of itself, the GT series was not the key factor. In isolation, it was not. But the three game losing streak dropped us in the polls and such. Win 2 of those 3, we don't drop. We likely rise.
We could have withstodd earlier losses as we were already respected enought to be higher in the rankings. We got to 11th, along with the commensurate ratings. We dropped to 18th and 20th and dropped in the minds of people.

I know that 3 game stretch last month was a killer in terms of hosting, but

I know we all were mad about the GT series but I do not think we give them
