Your team had higher aspirations than what they ended up with and you know that.
A NC contender that ends up like Missouri did is a fraud.
And a Heisman contender that ends up like Daniel did is a choker.
I call them as I see them, and there isn't any way around that.

Yep, it goes both ways.... for years the Jayhawks were chokers in the eyes of their rivals, even though a lot of Jayhawk fans didn't think so. Rival fans ignored the fact that it's really hard to win a NC just so they could fling shit our way.
Then Mizzou's football team has BCS or NC aspirations and ends up out of everything, barely beating Northwestern in their bowl game. Anyone who thought Kansas was consistently a fraud in BB because they didn't win the NC every few years should automatically say that Mizzou was a fraud in football last year. After all, they didn't meet expectations. Who cares if it's extremely difficult, right?
(FTR, I don't think Mizzou was a fraud last year, just like I don't think KU BB was a fraudulent team for the 20 years before they won a NC last year)
