re: How many of you are really bothered by NC or bust mentality?

If you sign up for a difficult class, study, and work hard, you expect an A. You would probably be more dissapointed with a high B than a D because the B would show that you fell just short of expectations while the D would indicate that you'd over-estimated your abilities and you were lucky to pass, or there was something wrong with the way the course was graded. Maybe you made the B because of a few mistakes that you regret, and you know you could have done better. This is what happened to LSU this season, and we are arguing over wether we should be satisfied with the B, though we obviously would have rather made an A, or consider the B a failure since it wasn't the A we expected. Most of us would take the B and dedicate ourselves to working harder next time, right?
