[QUOTE="Bleed O and B, post: 1266081, member: 296040"] Recognize 1. Our losses have been to probably 3 of the best 4 teams in the league. So with the exception of the wiscy game, we probably be won't as far outclassed in talent as we were in those games. Against middling teams we have been competitive and we will win a several more. 2. Despite the optimism on this board, most unbiased pre-season polls had us around 10th in the league...that translates to something like 6 or 7 B1G wins. We are probably on track for that. I agree that over the long-term 10th in B1G is not any type of objective, but we make things much worse for ourselves by setting unrealistic expectations for a season. 3. Whatever the record, a fan should be proud of their teams teamwork, effort, growth, etc. Call it an "eye test" . Unfortunately, my Illini have failed the eye test the past few years, and it continues this year. That to me is "the death spiral" that makes me crazy, and I suspect only a change at the top can help here. [/QUOTE]
