The board (collectively) is disappointed, frustrated and upset.  I don't think finger pointing is all that constructive either, but for some it can help them grieve the loss.  As I am sometimes reminded, what's the point of a fan message board if not to enable hyperbolic catastrophizing from people who care much more than is reasonable?

Wonderfully put. Here's a suggestion:

Replace "More Signal Less Noise" with "Enabling hyperbolic catastrophizing from people who much more than is reasonable"

It's beautiful and very apropos. . . .

I think that's a long-winded way of saying fanatic. That's why I have my descriptor as "Stanford Fanatic". 

I literally am suffering for days when a Stanford team I get fully invested in on any given year is eliminated earlier than I expected. This is true for this year's WBB team.
