I wasn't referring to the many considered, thoughtful posts expressing concern about the program's challenges last season and the challenges the staff has had in navigating portal talent. Anyone on here for any amount of time notes that a nontrivial number of posters blow matters well out of proportion on a consistent basis. Some are regulars at the bar. Others flit in and out with an I-told-you-so/The-sky-is-falling predictability that mimics the motions of hummingbirds.
And perhaps I've been looking at a different site these past several years but lots of posters were calling for BU's head consistently in March (not to mention during off-the-hook game threads) in complete disregard for his accomplishments in fairly quickly extinguishing this dumpster fire of a program he inherited from JG and building something impressive. The rabbit hole that Sean Miller-to-Illinois-NOW!!! swiftly became is an example. (Not saying I'm not a fan of Sean Miller.)
Some are prone to catastrophizing: they're the ones to whom I refer. Many, like you and me, aren't. It's not binary. It's a distribution with, IMO, a fat negative tail. Many of us are fans of BU while recognizing his blind spots. Some turn small negative impulses into high-amplitude jeremiads. As is often the case elsewhere (just look around at the culture presently), the loudest and most strident, even if a bats&*t crazy minority, have an outsize negative effect on the vibe here.
