So, that nervous feeling at the beginning of the season is starting to push its way back into my mindset.  All I wanted at the beginning of the season was improvement throughout, but then they started showing the ability to knock off big-time teams.  So, it was their fault that I am now dissapointed in the way they have been playing lately.  If they would have lost early and been at 500 now I would be very happy! 

They have shown big-time ability, but they have also shown signs of youth.  Now that we are a couple months into the season, what are your expectations for the end of the season?  Have your hopes been squashed because of the recent play (losing 4 out of their last 6)?  Let me know what you guys think, or how this season will pan out...
