This team is headed nowhere in a hurry. People can point the start, people can point to the quality losses (leaving out how completely outplayed we looked in each and every one of them) and that's all well and good. But it still comes down to the fact that we have a middle to lower to BE team. And a team whose NCAA hopes are greatly in jeopardy.
In year 5,to me, this team does not look like they've made it over the hump. That's not to say they won't next year either. But I do think people who think this team is much better, if any, than last year, are fooled but a weak OOC and are oversimplifying each and every loss. I see much of the same, even down to gameplan and execution, and to the mentality of some players.
Facts are this team is nowhere near ready to compete for anything of great note. If some are happy with that, that's totally ok. Like Jeff said, I don't remember many predicting much for them anyway. They've probably exceeded expectations, so this shouldn't be a surprise.
If some aren't happy though, you can't really blame them for not accepting mediocrity either. Look no further than some of the reactions after every time we play anyone good. No one expects to win, it's just chalked up as almost acceptable and expected. If that's not admitting you have an average program, I'm not sure what is.
