The narrative of not having a true road win has unfortunately begun to garner media attention, and voters are susceptible to it. The sad thing is that our conference road schedule is absolutely BRUTAL, yet some idiot voters will decide that it doesn’t “count” because we didn’t CHOOSE to play those games.
