Battered wives syndrome is very real and very sad.
yeah it is sad and real and its not really something to use as a comparison for a fan's expectations.

In plenty of mediocre years we would have been pleased keeping it under twenty with the first place team in the league. Just because it isn't duke or Carolina doesn't mean we have lowered expectations.
We aren't great, and FSU is going to be a tough matchup. They whooped Carolina the other day, remember?
When you take out the [Redacted]-coached games, we have lost 6 games by 20 or more points in the Joel. Five of those six teams were in the top 5, and the other was in the top 10 (#8 dook, who went on to the national title game, in 1990).
So no, there are not plenty of instances when we would have been pleased keeping it within 20 to a 13-6 team that's lost to two Ivy Leaguers already this year.

P.S. Tonight was [Redacted]'s sixth 20-point loss in the Joel. Only took him one and two-thirds season to match the total from the previous 20 years.
Also, I'm stealing that statistic and posting it on Twitter and Facebook. DEAL WITH IT

That's what it takes for it to be an improvement over last year.
Improvement Fail.
So the takeaway here is that we're due to lose the next 10.Anybody notice a pattern here?

Looks like a Buzz-defender argument to me, DeaconBrad. I went ahead and labeled it for you. You're welcome.
LOL. Good to know that anyone who dares to question the party line talking points of the basketball braintrust over here is labeled a "Bzz-defender".
Whatever happened to discussing Wake Forest Athletics, Freely?
