I think the reason this year is hurting so much is because I felt we were gradually improving and had finally reached a point where we would consistently play finals. Ever since the administration and coaches finally unified and collectively followed the same long term vision I bought in. I could see the gradually improvement year by year in the players, our list and our game plan. I could take the disappointment of the frequent loses in the past because I could see we were building...
...but this year we have gone backwards

. This is a watershed year for us. We will either change and adapt and rise again next year or fall away and return to ground zero once again.
At the moment though, I can't stomach the frustration and disappointment this year has created for me. Until I can understand why we have imploded this year I'll find it hard to motivate myself to attend games and set myself up for an emotional rodging
