I want so badly for this team and Penny to succeed and in my frustration I lost faith but win lose or draw I'm behind this team and Penny so I'd love nothing more than to wipe the egg off my face and eat me some hot steaming crow.

I have always thought that the best way to look at a college basketball team is the same way you look at your children. Over the years, even if some are more successful than the others, you love them equally and support them equally. Actually, the one or ones that aren't as successful need your support even more.

We are entitled to have student athletes that don't break the law, are good people and who fulfill their academic requirements. Other than that, you hope that they work hard on the court and aren't selfish. Other than that, they don't owe us anything, they don't owe us wins or NCAA appearances or anything.

Meh, I get it. But as fans who pay to attend games or as season ticket holders or financial contributors to the scholarship fund aren't we entitled to expect a quality product? I'm no longer able to attend or have season tickets but I do still contribute what I can to the TSF.

I'm not going to be be upset with losses any longer though, I've tempered my expectations and come to expect them this year. When apathy sets in it's never a good thing. If it sets in to the levels we saw during Tubby's tenure it won't be pretty.
