I’m not gonna lower my expectations to less than losing to Duquesne, who then
got steamrolled in their next tourney game.
And then to only win 5 games in football.

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

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

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

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

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

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