Sports happiness/dissatisfaction is based on the level at which you exceed or underperform expectations.
If you except your team to go 6-6 and and they go 7-5, you’re happy.
If you except your team to go 8-4 and they go 7-5, you’re unhappy.
Same record, different expectations, different fan sentiment.
Once you’ve been good for 20 years, you’re no longer satisfied with good, you now want great.
The risky thing, though, about sacrificing good for great is sometimes you sacrifice good for bad, like Nebraska with Bo Pelini.
Here’s hoping Wisky takes a step back and further opens the door for us to take a step forward.
