Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5192313, member: 1268"] Only way to watch this season is to hedge potential disappointment with a macro appreciation of where this program is and will be, and with a healthy dose of reality that it's really hard to be amazing 3 years in a row when your rosters are taking off for the NBA. Hurley can't turn water into wine year over year, no one can. Sure it's easy to say coulda shoulda in hindsight, feels good to feel smart based on retrospect. F, if I had a high functioning crystal ball I'd be a hall of fame coach. Right now it's game to game, hoping this team finds a groove at just the right time to make some noise. In the meantime, we can all have fun being lunatics on the Boneyard. Isn't that what this place is for? If not, maybe us lunatics can branch off and start our own board called the Little Red Asylum. We have a stud recruiting class coming in, best staff in the country and slowly seeding the NBA with little Husklets to adorn the wall. Life is good. If we don't make the run we're all hoping for, next year looks really promising. We can then pull for all our little brothers to have some time in the sun, and enjoy the beautiful product known as college hoops. Think about this: Kansas, a blue blood, won a title and has been preseason number 1 the last two years. They have what many consider a HOF coach. They've had 3 guys drafted off the last two teams (McCullar, Furphy, Dick), and what many consider the best portal classes those two years, an AA among them. They've had two burger boys (Bidunga & Jackson). They flamed out early last year and don't look at all like a contender this year. UNC was preseason number 1 in 2023 and didn't even make the tournament. A lot of things have to happen to win it. This stuff ain't easy, it's built for some parity and what makes the last two years glorious. [/QUOTE]
