My BYU fandom is close to an all time low. It's apathy for me. So much

Why do you think they allowed caffeine on campus a few years ago? Drink up Mate!

It 100% sucks to be good but never great and suck in post season. We are all

We have decades of evidence now. Some kind of mental virus in the system.

What were your expectations prior to the season? Did you expect a 5th place

Littlerich

Mar 24, 9:49am

Are fans not allowed to update their expectations as new evidence is presented?

markis_cougarfan

Mar 24, 9:53am

Yes, but it is healthy to take results in context of expectations as well.

Littlerich

Mar 24, 9:56am

Why? What do your expectations have to do with actual results?

All I am trying to say is you you can see the good front this season without

I’m happy when they win and not happy when they lose

There is a difference between healthy fan expectations

Thanks for more eloquently articulating what I was trying to say

Littlerich

I don't think it's unreasonable to be disappointed by a first round exit again

No as evidenced by most of cb daily since november

BYU '80

Mar 24, 9:58am

It would appear that CB is not very good at evaluating evidence

And based on BYU's overall post-season history, they should never expect a

Why does this matter? Do expectations from 10 months ago validate 12 missed...

No problem! There are lots of fair-weather fans on here. You will fit right in

Nikomedes

Mar 24, 9:52am

Yep, and for basketball that fair weather hit once in the early 80’s and again

Very true and also I’m grateful BYU hasn’t hung up sports in Provo.

Dr MoBYU

Can you even imagine BYU without sports. Turn into Ricks 2.0. No thanks

What a weird frame of mind. I’m just as disappointed,call it devastated as the next guy, but if you come out the other

I’m looked at as Mr Negative by many. I just don’t jump in with wild expectations. We always overestimate BYU’s true

Blue2thebone

Yep. Yep. Coug fan’s expectations were inflated.

DawgHaus

Cut yourself some slack…March apathy is normal. November apathy is a problem.

I've never been more apathetic about BYU football at this time of year.

Little success? Did you even watch this season?

StantonMac

Mar 24, 12:15pm

A season that ended no better than any season in the WCC?

wildeone

I feel sorry for fans who view NCAA tourney wins as the only measure of success

I mean, is it too much to ask for one win?

67 of 68 teams leave with a disappointing loss

That bball season was super fun and the future is bright, rooting for you

Feels like you're in the Acceptance phase of the BYU fan grief cycle,

J. Walter Weatherman

If you couldn’t enjoy this bball season, you won’t ever enjoy cheering for BYU.

Well that’s unfortunate…for you. However, for BYU basketball the future is rosy

Seriously. Feels like we are just delaying the inevitable with Kalani.

Yeah. Being a top 25 team most of the year, finishing 5th in B12 and going to NCAA tournament really sucks.
