Jumping in on this conversation mid-stream.  I really think most success stories have a lot of fits and starts along the way.  We as fans always want to see smooth progression through the years, but there are many more peaks and valleys then level success.  I think that's happening this year.

We had a huge win over WVU (maybe they aren't as good as we all thought they were at the time but this team still beat them down) and then lose to UConn and L'Ville.  That's the growing pains of a program that doesn't have an absolute talent edge over Rutgers, UConn, and L'Ville.  It's definitely discouraging, but I'm willing to give a couple more years.  After year 5 I think it's absolutely time to re-assess.

With that said, I definitely get frustrated when it seems like we fundamentally can't compete with teams we are capable of beating.

I actually think we beat Cincy and USF simply because our style of 'D' and 'O' match up better with those programs.  We might lose one or both, but I think we'll look better in the process regardless.
