as a season ticket holder I find the games much more entertaining win or lose if I go into the season knowing full well that this team might not make the Dance. I also will adjust my expectations once I see them, but they are bringing in a whole new offensive and defensive system this year and so I just don't know how that will play out and every year there is a large number of fans that freak out that the team didn't meet there expectations.
I also said that I full on think this team should at least be a bubble team so I don't think I am setting a low expectation for this team.
Fan on and be fanatical about this team, I just think there is also room for fans to be a little bit more realistic and not expect so much.
