Hello all. What a season it's been. From where we were to where we are now. I was critical & skeptical of coach U from the way this team started and thought this team would be around .500 all year. I said I would give him & the team the year before coming up w/a final opinion of him/and the team. Obviously they've made a 180 to the tune of the 2nd seed in the E. Ton of credit to coach U, the staff, the front office, & the team for the turn round. In just about every imaginable way this team has excelled to make it to the position they are now. At home & the road it didn't matter they excelled. Having said that I did want to address an issue that I've heard from some of the radio guys (I don't get to watch the gms on tv) and some of the other commentators in regards to the fans that don't buy the turn around & say wait 'til the playoffs. The thought being that these fans are just waiting for the Cs to collapse so they can say I told you they weren't for real. I disagree a little w/this line of thinking.
Any fan(s) that are just waiting to criticize the team in such a way aren't real fans IMHO so I agree there. There are some fans or so called that fit this mold. Critical for whatever reason until whatever is to their liking. Again, not real fans of the team. The legitimacy of this type of criticism/skepticism lies in the fact that w/this turn around fans can now have legit expectations in the post season for the team (like me). W/this in mind anything less than the ECF is reason enough to criticize the team IMHO. To be the 2nd seed & underachieve in the playoffs is a legit criticism. For at least a couple/few yrs Mil had the stigma of being a regular season team that couldn't get it done in the playoffs until they won the title. No fan of the Cs wants this to be said of the team. So w/fans expectations raised & rightly so they'll have good reason to criticize should the team fail to reach the ECF IMHO. So as someone once said "Playoffs!"...So let's see if we can keep the good times rolling...Go Green!...
