[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 640663, member: 844"] Insightful post but honestly expectations really weren't raised outside of the GT fans who did so based on their own reasons and/or biases. I think the outside predictions...people removed enough to see the forest from the trees...were on target. Those of the fans weren't, because we are fans. (Yes, many will reply that the experts have been wrong before...and that is correct). Why do I trust the external vs. internal predictions? It's easy to explan...when we evaluate our team, I am willing to bet that most of us on this board could not name 5 starters on any other ACC team (I know I couldn't). So we make predictions in a vacuum. I participated in the weekly FB prediction contest and picked Tech. I have seen 0 seconds of UNC and know nothing about them outside of knowing who their HC is. As far as relating to our work experience, I would venture to say most of us over 40 on this board have hired and fired managers. Some of them recover from a bad start, others don't.
