Year after year after year after year BYU fans are victims of their own expectations. I don't ever remember hearing a BYU fan say "what a great season, much better than expected."
If it wasn't bad enough to have a National Championship looming in the collective memory, BYU's arch rival had to go and bust the BCS. If BYU fans could dial their expectations back to being top three in the conference and winning a bowl game they would enjoy the season much more. Then if anything in addition to that happens, it is a pleasant surprise. Instead, everything is a least a little disappointing.
What ever we Utes (and I mean those of us who didn't become fans for the first time during the UM era) can learn from you, this is something you could learn from us. I say this every year.
