For me, optimism does not necessarily suggest an undefeated season or another NCAA championship (although those are worthy goals).
For me, optimism is warranted if Stanford demonstrates that it is a top ten team, capable of a deep run into the NCAA tournament. If we eke out a victory or even a tie in one of the two games on this road trip, that's a substantial improvement over the previous season, and shows promise for the future.
