And I also know that there is absolutely nothing you or I could do that would make their chances any better, or worse, this season or in any future season. Therefore, I choose to remain positive, which is something that I do have control over.

Guess you're just not that positive after all. Oh well...negativity remains

There is a vast difference between being positive in perception/attitude and being positive about a future event.

adjective - This is what you are thinking the term means.

with no possibility of doubt; clear and definite.
"he made a positive identification of a glossy ibis"

noun - This is how I am applying it. The opposite of negative.

a good, affirmative, or constructive quality or attribute.
"take your weaknesses and translate them into positives"
