I agree, and also the misguided optimism stems from feeling almost desperate for us to have something or somebody get this program actually BACK. Not this 9-10 win season that don't really amount to much besides being the 3rd or 4th best team in the conference and having no signature wins of substance. Just sick of seeing the same let down seasons year after year and not doing bad enough for there to be a change. It's like purgatory. The worst part of all this is the fact that things will most likely have to get much worse before a change does happen considering who would want to come to a school where you'll get fired for going 9-4, 10-4 etc. It's starting to remind me of '07 all over again with how this defense is looking and people just flat out quitting.
