This is a really frustrating attitude. Why is that fans being proud and happy that our team made it to the Final Four last year is viewed, by you and others, as a negative thing? How is being happy about it an "excuse" as if any of us are in a position to make excuses for the program anyway? And how is your deliberate minimizing of the achievement evidence of you being a better fan or a more clued-in person? Why is 18-14 more important than a FF run? I don't think anybody has claimed that the 2016 FF run was or is evidence that everything is completely hunky dory in the program. On the other hand, you are so mired in pessimism and self pity that you actually see the FF as a negative because it goes against the self loathing narrative. If you stepped back a little from your despair you would realize that a FF is always special, is historically meaningful to even the best programs, and should be celebrated. Period. You don't look for reasons to belittle it. You don't look for reasons that it "really shouldn't count because we had 13 losses that year," etc. I guess through that whole run last year, you were annoyed and frustrated?
