Our starting five is going to be good, really good. I can't wait to see Washington, Caupain, Evans and Clark play together. (I know that's only 4 lol) Let the rest play out. I am one of the few that has confidence in KJ.

This is a perfect sentence imo. I shouldn't have even bothered making a prediction bc I know how fans (fans in general, not UC fans) get with the preseason expectations. Nothing has gone wrong yet, so on paper we are perfect. Take away the exact numbers of my prediction, what I'm basically saying is we'll be the same, if not a little better than the other previous 6 UC teams that have made the tournament. Could something special happen? Sure. But I have to see something different to believe it. That take was fine all offseason, but now that the schedule is out and the buzz is starting, I'm treated by some like I shouldn't even be allowed to root for the team. Relax guys! We all want the same thing. I'm just not taking the bait this year on all the buzz. I got burned pretty bad last year doing that. If people want to predict things that have only happened once in the last 10+ years, go for it. It will probably be that much sweeter if you're right. But I'm with UCalum, just letting it play out.

I'm optimistic regarding the potential for this team; that's ok too. This forum allows for viewpoints on both sides of the aisle. The only poster I took issue with was NTS because he didn't appear to be a fan at all. That apparently has been addressed by the mods and I am grateful for that. I don't view Jacob in that light at all. I believe he is a fan and friend of the program, he's just a little more skeptical of the state of the program than some others. Nothing wrong em with that. We're all fans of the program. We can view things differently, but let's try to avoid attacking each other just because we may see things a little differently. I'm glad Jacob is a regular contributor. |

I'm really not this eternal optimist some of you think I am. I pitch in at the excessively negative banter to balance it out and say positive things, so people end up thinking I'm just an "everything is perfect no matter what" kind of person. This program has some flaws that I'd rather not dive into right now. There are plenty of things that worry me about this year, but balancing that out with the starting five everyone has pointed out, plus some new faces, we could wind up having a great year. If you can't see that, I don't know what to tell you. People aren't putting us in their preseason top 25 for nothing. |

When we fall short year after year in big games you can start to predict the future....
