Fans are not really accustomed to .500 or below seasons back to back to back... but they need to expect it right now, for a time. Unfortunately, many of them don't seem to understand that there would be a transitionary period.
For the time being, .500 is a step in the right direction, and if we can keep improving in the recruitment game, we will get to the point of competing for conference championships again.
I have plenty of my own complaints as well. However, I am happy with the win, and I will keep watching and supporting our team regardless in the future.
