I support my team. Heck, this is Ohio ..not Indiana. I am a suburban guy watching an urban sport. YSU is absolutely the only basketball I watch/listen to. Maybe a game or two in the tourney when the teams from our conference are on.
I will continue to listen/watch every game. (I am at work when these are on ...yet I still tune-in. I sat with only 8 YSU fans at the NCAA Track & Field regional to watch our guys, I traveled to Texas to see the baseball team (actually it worked out for me, as I had a meeting), I go to every event in Columbus ...baseball, softball, basketball (M&W). I travel to Butler every year ...even scheduled a day off once because it was an afternoon game. I even go to the weekend tennis matches when I am in Ytown.). I just want to win a game that we are supposed to win. Maybe win a couple that we are not. I want to do well in these early tournaments, so that we get more invites. I realize that this is how we improve our program.
Lowering your expectations is not jumping ship; but it is frustrating when you have to do so.
