I picked ND to lose 38-23. I kind of wish that had happened. Instead, the team kept it close almost all game. It gave me irrational hope that the Irish would somehow prevail. It sucked me in again.

When they lost I was pissed. I then had to ask myself what I was so upset about. I KNEW we'd lose and we did. The manner in which we lost is what was so upsetting.

There is nothing worse than false hope or false optimism. Brian Kelly will find a way to lose. The sooner I grasp that fact (however late) the better I will sleep.

I fully expected a blow out although I did predict a 0-0 - ocmj 2019-09-22 22:17:12
