1. The men in tourney probably.
2. the WBB team in final four it's a great dream but I don't see it when we look bad this yr we look really bad. Bill needs to coach the team in those games. Hopefully he has been letting them work through things so when he does coach them they'll respond.
3. FB team yeah get back to over .500 get in a bowl and show some life on offense. Still on the fence about renewing my season tickets if I do I think I'll sell off the Iowa game too crowded for my liking.
4. Wrestling yeah Dresser and Co got it going on hoping to go to a meet only have ever been to one.
5. NIL that's someone elses cup of tea not mine.

It's structured more like a "Christmas wish list" than "resolutions," but that's a minor point.

I feel like WBB ceiling is Elite 8. Maybe it's because ISU has hasn't been able to get over that hill with some of its best teams.

MBB & FB, seem like minimum expectations as far as "wants."

For football, I also take into account underachievement in '19 and '21, so I'd set it at getting to a bowl game AND winning it. Maybe unfair to incorporate previous seasons' results, but we need a better-than-expected season to balance bad years like '22.

MBB -- My minimum hope is a Round of 64 win, with additional wish of finishing in top 5 Big 12. Chris' assessment of simply reaching tournament is a reasonable wish.
