Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 2940325, member: 966"] I don't know why you're not able to see and respect a perspective you don't personally feel. • It's not up to you to decide who feels what, and when or if someone should start a discussion about it. • We also don't need to repeat the same gosh darn "everything is still roses and you're a bad fan for not clinging to the hem of JB's shorty bathrobe" posts, that we have read in every different thread this and every other basketball season. • People react to individual games. Some people, like you apparently, try not to react to a loss, and try to rationalize it as not being important because the only thing that matters is a Sweet 16. • "This game didn't change anything" — again, it was 'symbolic' to a number of people. Not sure how it didn't change anything. It did change our record. And it did show the tv audience that we are no longer in Virginia's class. Try looking at it from outside of the experience of a Cuse homer or alum. We need great players to be great. We don't create a great impression by losing a marquee game by a great number of points. Does [I]that[/I] compute? It's not about you. • Not sure what you're saying. Which is the outlier? Where we are now? Is five years an "outlier?" How long do you think a historic reputation lasts in the minds of a 16 or 17-year old? How long do you think it lasts in a casual basketball fan that isn't from the 315? We won our lone national championship just one year after Maryland. How relevant is Maryland? • "Projected to the staff" — trying to understand how you want your ethos to serve as that of the board. If you think we should be satisfied and not have grumbles, then i wonder what you think the staff should be thinking. "Hey, yeah, we're going to finish in the middle of the ACC yet again, but heck, if we scrape into the field, we can still do some damage. So, no changes necessary!" Right? • Lastly — i'm kinda sick of seeing the "they made 18 3s! You can't expect to win when they are hitting everything!" comments. It's not golf. There's supposed to be an opposition there. We had an opportunity to change that outcome, either by execution or strategy or both, but we are not constructed or instructed to have a Plan B. [I]That's[/I] a problem. [/QUOTE]
