That was dreaming pretty big. I think a couple of years ago virtually all of us (myself included) would have been gleeful over earning a 5 seed.

Bottom line, I (and many others) always thought Underwood was a good coach and would turn it around, and you didn’t. You’re nitpicking over definitions to try to make yourself look “realistic” instead of wrong.
But you can’t. The only way you could have been more wrong is if you were ChicagoFan or CT (who still somehow pined for Weber).
