It seems as though your point of emphasis is that the team you root (not "route") for is more likely to lose than than win. Realistically that's true of every team that makes the NCAA Tournament, except for the eventual winner. Nevertheless, I think that you are defending honest pessimism more so than honest realism because your words remain speculative in advance of known outcomes.

If I'm correct in my assumption that you root for your team to win, the the conflict you are asking about is between outcomes you wish for and statements that argue against what you wish for. The latter runs rampant in this forum. Your post is but one example.

I maintain that such attitudes run counter to what's desired, and this contrary psychic energy reduces the possibility that what's desired will be achieved. I question why this is done. I prefer to concentrate on my goals more so than my limitations and flaws.

I do accept the reality of outcomes as they arise and present themselves.
