I've been attending games for 29 seasons. 25 of those years, we did not dance. That qualifies as decades.
Well, this reasoning would apply to all MAC teams except one I believe, Kent, which has danced 6 times in the last 29 seasons. If we had danced two more times in the last 29 years, is that the mark that would make you happy? Maybe the MAC isn't for you?
I honestly wonder if the MAC is at all for a portion of the followers of this basketball program on this board. Maybe I'm different, but I get more joy out of the journey - watching the daily/weekly aspect of college basketball SEASON, as players develop and we get to see individual personalities develop over time than I enjoy just the month of March. If all I cared about is the month of March, I'd shun my Alma Mater for my father's Bearcats that I've rooted for since well before I was a Bobcat. (though even that team, this year, I'm enjoying watching the weekly growth of some players)
I say it all the time via social media accounts: "If you wait until March to care about college basketball, you're missing out on a lot of great games and fun."
I think that could also be added to, or translated to: If Success in March is all you care about....because while it is absolutely, without question, the ultimate goal, it is not all that matters with regard to college basketball. Not to me at least.
