I admire your forthrightness and maybe even courage. But you must realize that many have amnesia on the breaks we got and can only point to the luck others had that kept us from going 13-0.

Optimism is so much moe fun than realism. And you cannot break the immutable process of:
1. Pre-Season Optimism
2. Reality
3. Disappointment
4. Anger
5. And a Search for the Guilty.

And no matter how many times (seasons) some go through this, there is little or no learning that occurs from experience.

Of course, there was the 1987 season:
1. We could be good this year
2. Hey, this team is pretty good
3. This team is very good
4. That  Pat Dye!

I will take issue with the idea that recruiting classes have much to do with this year's results. That only happens when school's recruit the bluest of the blue chippers, who can make a difference as freshman. The guys we brought in this year will most likely make a difference two to five years from now. This isn't hoops.
