[QUOTE="Point-Illinois, post: 1815100, member: 747217"] If things change and expectations adjust, they can adjust again. We aren’t a playoff team that could (realistically) contend with UM and tOSU. And we aren’t Penn State state who is one wrung down but can take care of the rest of the B1G as well. We are one of the other mid level teams that could lose to any of the other mid level teams on any given Saturday. That should be your new expectation. Thankfully, we are not a bottom dweller. I think the only issues between a lot of our fans is that some have gotten to the “my expectations are we are mid level and have met if not exceeded those expectations” sooner than the ones still grasping “we were Penn State level and should have been able to win the west”. Don’t get me wrong, I’m disappointed our luck or D or whatever ran out of juice basically one game too soon, as winning the west would have been amazing. But 7-5 or 8-4 is still gonna be sweet victory compared to the Illini football I’ve gotten to root for basically my entire life. [/QUOTE]
