It doesn't always have to be that bad of a season. Just last fall, after the Hoks went 1-3 at the start of the B1G season, I was trying to discuss FB (in a respectful way) to a Hok acquaintance of mine. He looked at me, and immediately said, "I'm actually looking forward to basketball season." Then he proceeded to go on about how the Hoks would likely be at the top of their conference. Looking back at this is even more hilarious considering that the FB team far outperformed their basketball team.
