I don't know, I feel like I always fall into the same trap every single year. I’ll spend an entire off-season reading up on roster changes, scouting reports, and listening to people talk about how "this is the year we finally turn it around." I get so invested in the potential of a group of players two or three years down the line that I forget how much everything can change in that time.
Injuries, coaching shifts, or just a player hitting a wall—it happens so fast. I remember being absolutely certain about a certain program back in 2021, and by the time the season actually rolled around, the hype felt like a total joke. It’s hard to stay optimistic when you realize how much of sports is just pure volatility.
Do you guys actually bother looking ahead to future seasons, or do you just stay focused on the current year to avoid the inevitable letdown?
