So last Friday was a good day.
When I woke up on Saturday I was excited for the weekend and to watch the Gophers on TV again. They had let the game escape from their grasp against Michigan the week before but they would come back and run the table starting today.
As Steve and I have discussed many times before, the lower your expectations are about certain things, the more likely you will either be happily surprised or at least not too disappointed. I didn’t realize that I was setting myself up for a fall.
The first discouraging thing of the morning was the broadcast crew for the game, it was Andre Ware and some other dude who I don’t remember. They had done the game against Northwestern a couple weeks earlier and I didn’t really like them. The next discouraging thing was a stat that they put on the screen that I hadn’t heard before. The previous 11 times that the Gophers had played (and lost to) the Wolverines of Michigan they lost the next game, no matter who it was or where they played. Hmmm, that’s not good. But hey, now is a good of time as any to break that streak.
