I Think Last Year Did It...

...I'm not that mad about any of the losses this year. I'm just not. It's strange.

Ditto. It's weird - I'm disappointed but not devastated like I used to be when they lost games they should have won. Maybe it's because last year they lost a bunch of games but still won the BET and the (!) NC.

I'm mad but it's all restrained. I want another title but I can't really get mad if it doesn't happen. It's why I can easily understand why the team might have the attitude that they'll just turn it on in March. I wish it wasn't like that but that is why it's so hard to go back to back in any sport at any level. These are 17 and 18 year old kids with championship rings.

I wish I could say the National Title had calmed me, but it has not. That's probably why I'm posting on this message board four hours after the game ended, and it's probably why I took the screen off my windowset and flung it across the living room after the game. I still get mad, mostly because I know this team isn't playing anywhere close to its potential. I'm greedy. I want to win the National Title this year just as badly as I did last year. I know I don't want to experience that sinking feeling in my stomach if Duke or UNC or Kentucky wins the National Championship. I want badly for Calhoun to equal K in championships, and for him to leapfrog into the #2 spot in the all-time coaching rankings. These losses still bother me.

Unfortunately, I think this is the same attitude the team is taking...

Funny you say that because i had the same feeling in 2005. Its hard to expect a repeat and if they dont win it this year i could think of other teams that im more mad at that didnt win one...95,96,06
