It shouldn't? I guess that's true if we are willing to acknowledge that we have officially become only slightly better than UToothless, pointing to this year's moral victories as reason for optimism that next year we might also have some more "almost good" moments.
Should we be content to just buy what Mullinz is selling, that we shouldn't see 4 loses, we should see that we are only x points away from all world, and that no one would be an upgrade at DC over choking dwag because he already schooled our dumasses that it's the players, not the coaches? What do you expect, Mullin to admit he made a mistake by bringing the filthy dwag to UF? Impossible since Mullin doesn't make mistakes, you can see his post-game pressers for proof of that.
So bottom line I guess is the sooner we accept that there is no chance of winning any championships because no one can win at cowbell....I mean UF anymore, then what's not to be optimistic about?
