Doesn't that make you feel better? |
We all hoped it would last just a little bit longer. Hell, I thought it would last at least until next week and most definitely not at home.
Alas, we are become normal. We are regular ol' fans of a team with a digit in both columns. No doubt the Haters are appeased, if only slightly. Their teams could not claim the title Undefeated.
It is good. We now get to experience the full breadth of fandom. We won, we lost. We've overachieved, we've underperformed.
The team is going through growing pains. By all accounts the first win went to the young team's head a little. We didn't help them much though. We have a lot to learn as a fan base if we want to be ready for Wacdom.

Please stop doing the wave.
Please don't cheer when we are on offense.

We do have the glorious luxury of a pressure-free season. We didn't cost ourselves a WAC championship or a shot at a bowl game here. If that lets you keep your blood pressure under control then take it. Use it. Don't die. There is plenty to be frustrated about come next season. Also, plenty the season after that.Good news is that we recovered --albeit only slightly--in the second half. The offense ended up with nearly five-hundred yards and we we were one stop away from winning the game (even if we should have been killing them).
More good news? This week's practice will be nice and crisp. Everyone's pride is smartin' a little and as Jared said, it will make us a better team.
That's your mini-perspective post for the day.
