when they were a truly elite program. That run ended in 2008. Since then they have not been a serious national contender. And before Carroll they hadn't been a national contender in over two decades.
But every offseason their fans whip themselves into the same frenzy and the media eats it up hook, line, and sinker. The expectations are so inflated that when they lose it feels like a disaster.
Unfortunately, on the flip side, the standards have fallen so low at UCLA that beating Rutgers by 3 points is cause for jubilation.
