A formula for frustration

Teams at our level have built-in frustration factor. We see the success of the money programs, who can afford to buy talent we cannot. And we see occasional successes by teams below that level, and that makes us hungry - and it should. What we forget is that 98% of the teams are about like we are, on again and off again. By definition most teams are mediocre or below, but knowing that fact does not make it any easier to stomach.
