Nothing to play for
It could not have been more clear.
Racing dull and bored.

Playing in Denver was a good reminder for Racing. Nothing, no thing, none of it has been good enough this season.
Ambition is graded on a curve. What might seem well intentioned and ambitious in one situation may be seen as cynical and lazy in another one. Racing’s performance on Saturday was a stark reminder of a widening gap between what Louisville can do and what other, more ambitious teams may dare to dream. This was the season for Racing to keep pushing and they completely whiffed. Racing’s last offseason was their worst one ever,
Good point, Homer. It is entirely possible that the next one will be even worse.
I don’t want to perform an autopsy on such a dismal performance, so I won’t. Seeing Taylor White score was the sole highlight.
This team is owned by a group of people who don’t know what they are doing, don’t care, or both. Some may protest that ownership takes the losses as hard as anyone. That might be true, but they are certainly pretty silent about it, if you don’t count coming out and begging for money or better attendance. Has the product this season been worthy of investment of anyone’s money? I would argue that it definitely hasn’t been.
I can’t wait to not write about this team for 3 or 4 months.

No discipline. Read that sentence however you please.
