Stop it. I never said anyone should have the same opinion as me. My observation was people are lying to themselves on tournament vs regular season history based on past history on this board. I've been here a decade. I know what's been posted and how people react. It's seemed to trigger a few of you. I already stated my expectations for the program and we aren't meeting them.
Some complain about the posters protect JB at all costs. There's others who exaggerate us being a doormat for 8 years. Both sides look stupid and it becomes a circle jerk.
My opinion is right down the middle. We haven't been near Syracuse Standards since 2014, but there's other posts calling us chicken littles. And I said I expect at least a 5 seed, with a sweet 16 team 5 or 6 times a decade with 2-3 potential title contenders. We obviously aren't doing that now.
Most of us want JB to retire including myself. We are waiting it out. There's no sense me getting this frustrated because there was always a potential of this scenario this year with his kids.
Dude. This is ridiculous. You really can't see past the end of your own upturned nose.
You didn't "say" anyone should have the same opinion. But, you basically campaign against anyone who doesn't. Seriously, let me ask you: are you "miserable" because you experience "negativity" here? I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you're going to say 'No,' you're just "making observations." Well, it's the same thing for those you label as negative. We're just making observations. Try thinking about it that way. Try imagining that we all have the same mental horsepower as you, and are able to compartmentalize SU Basketball-related disappointment the way you deal with your disappointment with the attitudes of people on the forum.
Bottom line, you've been here "a decade" (whoop-di-damn-doo, that's not really long, but cute of you to use that word)—you know how it is. Stop trying to change it. You're basically operating on the same kind of wavelength as thinking there should be one political party. If only everyone would just '
wake up and act right and see it with my eyes!'
"Trigger?" Again—the triggeree is you. Not sure how you don't see that.
All you have to do is look at the top line of your post here: "people are lying to themselves..."
That's you in a nutshell. Your truth is
the truth. I expect you're going to be miserable and triggered for the rest of your days if that's your reality. I'm going to suggest two things:
1) That you try to expand your thinking to incorporate the understanding that other people have valid perspectives, their experiences, and standards are different from yours, and that's all valid, whether you like or understand them or not.
2) A very simple old adage: "Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people."
Instead of discussing ideas and concepts, you've dragged us all down into bitching about
people and how they don't fall in line with how you think they should operate.
What comes next is you denying you're doing that, and playing the transference game. Enjoy your misery.
