Every year for the last 10 years the season starts with really high expectations. I'm done being fooled into thinking we've "got a shot". So I just sit back and enjoy the game day experience without expecting anything.
My heart and my head do not agree.

Ditto this. I went into the 2000 season expecting nothing after witnessing the 20 previous years of poor results. I maintained that attitude all season, reveling in the wins,and with the three losses, letting it fall off my shoulders. 2000 was 9 and 3 (unless that is officially 1999-2000). The next season, new QB named Seneca showed up. Same attitude, similar enjoyment. The season after, similar attitude for the first part of the season, and then I began to drink the Heisman cool-aid and the bottom of the jug fell out. No, though a big fan of ISU football, I will forever be a skeptic, and it seems that the team does better as long as I am.
No doubt about it, WE WILL SUCK. UNI by 14. It is not a bad mindset, it is just realizing we are terrible. Not only do they play like crap, they have a bad graduation rate.

Hindsight is fun right? Everyone that thought Mitt Romney was going to beat Obama was also blind to the obvious, right?
I wouldn't say it was so obvious last year. Had we not choked after taking the lead against NDSU, pulled out the K-State game and pulled out the Texas game, we wouldn't be lamenting last year as an awful team. We would be lementing that about the Turd laid against Kansas and not winning the Texas Tech game.
The difference between a terrible season last year and a mediocre season last year was razor thin.
Its just as stupid as saying that team chemistry has no impact on a season which some people claim as well.
