I'd be happy with 4 wins, 6 is very high expectations.

[u/Hello-DexterMorgan → u/New-Ad-363]

Why would you ever be happy with 4 wins?

[u/Cog_HS → u/Hello-DexterMorgan]

Because I'm old enough to remember.

[u/Hello-DexterMorgan → u/Cog_HS]

Were you happy when they were winning 4 games?

[u/Cog_HS → u/Hello-DexterMorgan]

At the time, yes I was.

You asked why someone would ever be happy with 4 wins. I went to every home game when we won 0. I would have been happy with 4 wins.

Would I be happy with 4 wins NOW? I wouldn't be crushed, but I wouldn't be happy. But that's not what you asked.

[u/New-Ad-363 → u/Hello-DexterMorgan]

Because I look at the circumstances and temper my expectations to what I believe is realistic. Anything better and it's a gift.

Is that odd?

[u/Hello-DexterMorgan → u/New-Ad-363]

So you’d be HAPPY being a bottom two team in the conference?

[u/New-Ad-363 → u/Hello-DexterMorgan]

For the first season sure. Obviously I'm expecting a step up next season.

Son I grew up watching us win 2 games a season.

Bottom 2 is an upgrade for most of us iowa state fans older than 10 lol

I think you’re confusing goals and expectations.
I expect 3-5 wins this season. I also remember when that was an outlandish expectation.
