[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1351617"] No doubt about it, and that'll be unfortunate. We need to keep realistic expectations in mind -- even when we're riding high at 6-0. Losing 2 of our next 3 seems like a very good probability. And if that happens -- or even worse, we lose all 3 -- we just need to remind ourselves why we were picked #11 in the conference. We are a year away, IMO. Next year, assuming guys like Black and Finke return and assuming improvement from our younger guys, we have a team that should be able to crack the top-25 for a good part of the season. This year, in my view at least, is one of those "sit back and enjoy the ride" sort of seasons. Keep expectations fairly low, optimism for the future high, and hope that perhaps we win ahead of schedule. But if we don't.......let's not jump off the edge. [/QUOTE]
