Reason for Optimism?

While it appears our team did make some improvements this year, although the middle of the year looked like a train wreak, the fact is other than KY, the rest of the SEC East was down. Does anyone really think Florida, Tennessee, Vandy and Missouri will be down again next year?

Are the expectations for next year that we make the NIT? I could really care less about the NIT these days. It is about the big dance and nothing else. The only March Madness we can enjoy is Spring Football.

Well, I certainly hope we enjoy Spring football. Probably the biggest pre-Spring ? since SOS has been at Carolina.

Yep. What is going on now is what will determine if last year was a fluke stretch of bad decisions and bad luck mixed in or if that's a sign of things to come.

I'd like to be optimistic but I truly don't know what will happen next year in football.

I think the expectations are for a NIT bid next year. I would like to know how long the building of the Basketball program is really going to take? Do we give Frank 10 years to get us to NCAA's Or, do we expect it sooner? Are we to the point where everyone cares so little about it anymore that we put no expectations on it?
I don't know the answer to any of it. It does seem that we played well at times with little talent.
