For as long as I can remember, Iowa Basketball has consistently let me down every. single. time. I get my hopes up about the current team. And I will admit that, over the years, I've many times attempted to adopt the mentality of accepting that we will never be anything more than a decent program, that we will never be great. However, I always find myself being sucked back in every few years... and I always tell myself, "This year is going to be different, because this Team is special". But, like clockwork, it ends with disappointment and mental anguish, literally every time. I almost feel like a person who is in a long-term abusive relationship, and keeps telling themselves that the abuser has changed; a little melodramatic I know, but it is emotionally exhausting.

I don't know where I'm going with this, I just feel like Iowa Basketball is destined to break the hearts of those who allow themselves to fall in love with it, over and over again; but we always come back for more. Oh Iowa Basketball, I wish I could quit you! 😭😭😭
