Message: [QUOTE="Hunt for 7, post: 4568482, member: 12414"] So today will be different than I had hoped for. I will do yard work and stay away from watching any college basketball. Even not sure I will watch the selection show. Here are three words and definitions that I was thinking about: 1) Expectation = a strong belief that something will happen or be the case in the near or long term future 2) Hope = an optimistic state of mind that is based on an expectation of positive outcomes 3) Wish = feel or express a strong desire that is not easily attainable. Want something that cannot or probably will not happen. So if you are a UConn fan and last night did not change your point of view from hope to wish then I am not sure you are being realistic. So we have gone from expectation to hope and now wish this season. I posted earlier this year a question about most frustrating seasons then later realized that the question was not appropriate for the time of year. But if we don’t make a run to the second weekend I am confident in saying this season will be right up there as one of the most frustrating. The three words noted above quantify why that would be the case. Expectation, Hope and Wish. We are now clearly in the wish world. [/QUOTE]
