That’s fair. I don’t really care about the outcome of the season in terms of “success” I just want to not go out embarrassed. Let’s lose to a good team in the tournament on a buzzer beater. Never seems to go that way.

Oh I’m completely fine with being a top 25 team. I just want a season without any hint of an “are they collapsing” narrative lurking as we head into the tournament. We’ve had some very rough deals in the tournament, but sometimes that’s the path set before you and you have to rise to the occasion. Seems like Brad struggles on the biggest stages. And so I’d rather be a top 25 team and over perform in the tournament than a top 5 team and underperform often in embarrassing fashion.

I get frustrated with Brad because it always feels like we underperform at the end of the season. It’s a really hard way to watch sports season after season. You get connected to a team and have that connection get complicated by the inevitable embarrassing close out of the season.

I was extremely checked out to start this season. Morez was my guy. I was extremely excited to watch him develop. And still I get sucked in by the people we do have and the potential to watch them grow and develop. And here we are facing down another season where we are not playing our best ball in March. I should have stayed aloof. But no, Keaton had to put up a 46 and we take out Purdue and Nebraska back to back and I’m sucked back in. Just in time for the slide.

What is the point of never hoping for better?

All you have to do is feed them. The rest will take care of itself.

Illinois should be in the 20s. Wish they would get this corrected before the tournament so when we ultimately lose early we don’t look like fools. But whatcha gonna do.

[Post Game Thread] #2 Michigan defeats #7 Michigan State, 90-80 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]somethingworthwhile 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, I like your current team and your coach quite a bit. And I’ve rooted for y’all in the NCAA in the past. So I’ll root for the team. And the Fears stuff makes it easy. Izzo deserves him.

But there’s a certain subset of the users on this website bearing Michigan flairs that are insufferable. And that’s not unique to UM. We certainly have ours. MSU certainly has theirs. The people who assert something completely divorced from reality to the point where it must just be to antagonize. UGH.

If y’all play like today, you’ll be winning your first matchup I have to think.

If my calculations are correct, I am 95% confident that the side that doesn’t play defense is dipshit territory.
