[NU Sports] FSU--CATS WIN!!!

[Abrahamson, Alan (NBC Universal)]

Fair points indeed about the excitement of the one victory. 

My point is that after 30-plus years I'm no longer remotely satisfied with but one victory. Either we're one of the top 65 teams in the country and make the tourney, or we're not. I'm fed up with not.

Who said anything about 20 wins?  Or the postseason?  The postseason?  Are you kidding me?  The postseason?

I just said nice game, great win.  Which it was.  And when was the last time we said that about the court Cats when playing on national TV?

Are we so pessimistic about basketball on this list that we can't even enjoy a fun win?  That when I say "great game," even the likes of Alan---who's among those optimistic enough to think that we'll miraculously land a bid to a New Years' Day bowl---responds to say boo-hoo, but we won't win 20 games; it's all downhill from here; etc.?


By the way, I forgot to mention rebounding in my post last night, but Dennis brought it up.  Our rebounding probably won the game for us, especially some offensive rebounds that kept the ball away from FSU.  So far, I'd say that's the biggest improvement over last year.
