"becoming numb to it" is normal and a good thing (it's time to grow up)
Now it's time to learn optimism for the future. Life is good.

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

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

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

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

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