Most casual fans seem to be of the "he can't get it done in the tourney" variety.

FWIW, ND is now ranked #4 in both CBB polls this week - hobbs, 2011-03-07, 10:58
- Whatever happens from here forward... - KGB, 2011-03-07, 12:08
  - Agree on #1 vs. #2 - CW (Rakes), 2011-03-07, 13:27
  - I'm all for hurrahs on the regular season at this point - Jay, 2011-03-07, 12:13
    - I don't think that would bother me all that much. - Kevin, 2011-03-07, 17:20
    - It would be an amplified microcosm of his entire tenure. - KGB, 2011-03-07, 12:27
      - serious question - Jay, 2011-03-07, 19:12
        
        Well, you see, Jay... - KGB, 2011-03-07, 19:40
        
        Your reply is a miniaturized macroverse - Dylan, 2011-03-07, 20:12
      - Agree. - Kevin, 2011-03-07, 17:22
      - okay, you made me look it up - Jay, 2011-03-07, 12:58
        
        The fact that we've never been higher than a 5-seed... - KGB, 2011-03-07, 13:53
        
        Goodness..... - bk, 2011-03-07, 13:20
        
        "acting like Purdue football fans" - hobbs, 2011-03-07, 14:15
        
        We're pretty far off that right now..... - bk, 2011-03-07, 14:18
        
        I totally agree with your second paragraph - Jay, 2011-03-07, 13:24
        
        Nice drum. - Slainte Joe, 2011-03-07, 13:54
        
        spectacular, spectacular - Jay, 2011-03-07, 14:03
        
        Far better teams than this ND one have lost in the 2nd round - CW (Rakes), 2011-03-07, 13:37
        
        on the other hand, no team has been seeded as high - Jay, 2011-03-07, 13:52
        
        It seems like the diehard fans give Brey more rope. - San Pedro, 2011-03-07, 14:00
        
        They remember the John MacLeod years - hobbs, 2011-03-07, 14:09
        
        Being a season-ticket holder definitely colors my view.... - bk, 2011-03-07, 14:04
        
        Good points. - San Pedro, 2011-03-07, 13:45
        
        Amen. Amen I say to you. - bk, 2011-03-07, 13:38
        
        And I agree with yours..... - bk, 2011-03-07, 13:34
        
        The last two 11/6 games were some poor seeding/bad draws - CW (Rakes), 2011-03-07, 13:16
        
        2007 was a total freakin' hose job. - KGB, 2011-03-07, 14:00
        
        Geez. And people wonder why some ND fans are wary. - Greg, 2011-03-07, 13:14
        
        Kind of funny. - KGB, 2011-03-07, 14:43
        
        how many programs match those expectations? - HumanRobot, 2011-03-07, 13:23
        
        Yeah, I was a bit over the top in the way I wrote that. - Greg, 2011-03-07, 13:27
        
        Put it to the test. One Elite 8 every four years? - LaFortune Teller, 2011-03-07, 14:04
        
        I'm sorry you did that work. - Greg, 2011-03-07, 14:08
        
        You misunderstood..... - bk, 2011-03-07, 14:06
        
        This seems about right..... - bk, 2011-03-07, 13:47
        
        I don't want to be Purdue football fans - Greg, 2011-03-07, 14:11
        
        Coach K's - HumanRobot, 2011-03-07, 13:08
        
        Boy, that was an ugly stretch there prior to last season. - KGB, 2011-03-07, 14:21
        
        So this year will be the first time ND "should" reach S16. - LaFortune Teller, 2011-03-07, 13:02
        
        As with football, I will wait until the season is complete - Joe I, 2011-03-07, 13:33
        
        It's not so much limping as stagnating.... - bk, 2011-03-07, 13:36
        
        That is a very good point. - Joe I, 2011-03-07, 13:38
      - Izzo might be the only coach that consistently plays - LaFortune Teller, 2011-03-07, 12:37
        
        if you count the years he missed the tournament entirely - Jay, 2011-03-07, 12:40
        
        I'm drawing a fine line here. Maybe too fine. - LaFortune Teller, 2011-03-07, 12:51
- I'd take #1 in the West in a heartbeat - Spesh, 2011-03-07, 11:19
  - I'll definitely go to those - Jay, 2011-03-07, 11:33
  - Yeah, I was thinking of a possible quick drive/flight up - hobbs, 2011-03-07, 11:27
    - Even if they go West, ND will almost certainly be in Chicago - Jeremy (WeIsND), 2011-03-07, 11:31
      - You're right on Chi being the likely 1st & 2nd round venue - hobbs, 2011-03-07, 11:51
