I've been riding shotgun on the "Stop whining, we're 10-2" bandwagon. This season is an unqualified, smashing success--a full two regular season wins better than I'd have projected in my rosiest of all scenarios. And it includes a victory over a top 10 opponent at press time and a win over Utah.

But tuning in to watch Arizona State play Iowa State for the league title still sucks when we were oh. so. close. Arizona State game was rough but largely expected (by me at least). The missed opportunities of the Kansas game will haunt me.
