The Law of the Jungle — when the pack isn’t devouring the “other,” they start devouring members of their own pack.
Given the events of the past three seasons, the basketball gods haven’t been good to our team — the Betts et all disaster, the advent of NIL and the portal, Tara’s retirement, the demise of the PAC 12, injuries to our point guard and highest scorer, and god knows what else. When the stars misalign, critics come forward, salivating over their pet gripe, and chaos takes over.
It looks like the good old days are over for now, hopefully not forever. Possible strategies for fan survival are — watching the young ladies and their coaches weather the changes as they make incremental progress, cheering on the current members of the team as members of a supportive fan base, organize a public wake for what used to be, or… (your choice).
I am at a loss for a better solution. I still attend the home games, I leave my expectations at the door (and I admit to some disappointment, but take the long view, when possible, and cheer on our players who dawn the cardinal and white).
Come join me and cheer this team on!
