I don't think this is at all about just "last night" and being "outclassed" by arguably the best team in our conference, etc.  But rather more about the 5 year [I]non-stop[/I] flight we've been on in being nothing more than a mediocre, middling, as you allude, 6th, 7th, or 8th place team in the ACC.  And, when we get crushed by the top teams in our conference, especially at home, it just further solidifies our current existence (new normal) of what we are in this league.

It's somewhat tough to swallow coming from a place/stature we maintained in the Big East, routinely playing for conference championships, etc., not to mention us being ranked 5th nationally in all time wins for a program (when including the 101 vacated).  Moreover, I think what also adds to the frustration, is that based upon our current recruiting level, style of play, a coach seemingly 3 years from retirement, etc., it does not appear that our plight is changing anytime soon.
