basketball other than the handful of yewt fans who infect the board. Everybody. Nobody is unhappy about where we're at. If you think that's the case, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe "don't do drugs," because everyone is thrilled with what's happened the past 2 months.

At the same time, we play in the B12. All those teams who were better than us last year, for the most part, got even better for this upcoming season. Plus we have a new team in conference who is a borderline top 10 ranking team in Arizona. We went 10-8 in conference last year. We won 55% of our conference games. We finished 5th in the conference behind Houston, Baylor, Tech, and ISU. We tied with Kansas. This year we have to add Arizona to the mix. Acknowledging how good the top of the B12 is and how big of a dogfight it's going to be every night in conference doesn't make someone a bad fan. In case you were wondering, it's OK to talk about this on a fan message board.

Teams often (not always, but often) take time to come together when a lot of new pieces are added to them. We have half a dozen new players joining the team after losing 4 major contributors. It's not unreasonable to expect some growing pains as the new team learns to gel. It doesn't make people bad fans to be aware of this universal challenge, and again, it's OK to talk about it on a fan message board.
