The View of Publius:The "But" Syndrome



It seems that the majority of FSU basketball fans are afflicted with the "But Syndrome". And it has led to and will continue the current mediocrity of the program until the syndrome is eliminated.

Everyone is familiar with the syndrome. We could have won the game "but" the refs were against us. We could be headed to the NCAA tournament "but" our player got hurt. We could win more games "but" our students are not seated where they can cheer the loudest. We will not be good this year "but" wait until next year. The list goes on and on.

The FSU basketball program is headed nowhere but in the same direction that it has been headed. Fans need a new mindset and an athletic director that will take decisive action. We cannot wait another year or two to see the program not getting any better. "But" do we have an alternative?
