[QUOTE="Second and Chalmers, post: 1239437, member: 527609"] I mean, you can gain that respect through hype, but look at it from an outsider's perspective. Various combinations of this roster have been terrible over the past three years and Groce has no track record of anything other than mediocrity. We're making preseason predictions based on the narrative turn many of us believe the Groce era is about to take. It's conclusion-first thinking, even if it's a well-argued, high-information conclusion. Neutrals do a ranking and are just reacting to the fact that we've done absolutely nothing to give anyone faith that we're going to out compete Maryland or Iowa or Purdue or Michigan or whoever. Everything they have seen refutes that conclusion. [/QUOTE]
