Making it to the FF/NC game is not "nothing to show for it" in my book, it's rather an outstanding season and a level/accomplishment every other other team was unable to attain. A player who plays for four years and never makes it to the end game has plenty to show for it despite not having any hardware to put on their shelf.
There is not a hint of bloviating in statement #4. To say a team played good defense is not bloviating.
bloviate
[ˈblōvēˌāt]
VERB
bloviated (past tense) · bloviated (past participle)
talk at length, especially in an inflated or empty way.
You need to use red, it shows up better and is easier to distinguish your comments from thoise in the original post.
Did I say making it to the Final Four or the NC game was nothing? Point that one out to me and I'll make the correction. When you have the talent and the rep and the budget and you don't win it more than once or twice, something is not quite right. Princeton has 3 NCs and I know in one of those they beat Maryland(with Cindy and Gary). Maryland should beaten the Nassau Street Tigers like a rug, but they played down to Princeton's level(not a condemnation of Princeton, but Maryland's team was killer all over the field) and lost. Maryland was so angry about that they won the next seven NCs in a row. Haha.
Again, to whom much is given, much is expected.
