Yeah, me too. Boy oh boy. I can tell by the lack of blogging this week that we're all in a funk. Of course, I was on the road Monday night through last night, so that's my excuse. But that was a punch in the face, wasn't it?
When we lose, it always begs the question of whether a tough, close, hard-fought loss is better or worse than taking a beating. I think in the short term, the USC 2005-like loss is harder, but in the long term, Michigan stays with you longer. Has something to do with "outsiders" saying "tough loss, huh?" or "boy you really got the snot kicked out of you". I prefer the former.
This will probably be the shortest pre-game preview I'll write. Haven't had time to read the Detroit Free Press or the Lansing Spartanian or the SBT, so don't have any of the prep feel. I saw some of Charlie's words afterword, and he was his poker face (albeit a bit more solemn) self.
So what about the Spartans and the Irish? We're 3 point favorites. Will the Spartans smell blood in the water and swarm us over? Or do Charlie's boys regroup, find themselves and start to right the ship? Heck, I don't know. But I'm counting on the latter, so look for a not too high scoring game, but the good guys come out on top.
Final score will be: ND 24 MSU 16
Take good notes everyone. We'll get home from our military ball after midnight on the east coast. I hope I'll get to read all of your detailed impressions of a glorious ND victory!
Enjoy the game!
