Pain, misery, more inexplicably bad football that makes me cringe.
I hate to say it, but at this point in the season the best predictor of future performance is past performance.
After the fist game I called out the notion that "you make the biggest leap in improvement from game one to game two" as the biggest canard ever. For many years, with few exceptions, the first game has been a harbinger of things to come and exposed the team for what it is. Our non-conference woes were simply microcosms of things to come.
Let's say I'm wrong and we get a repeat of last year. Players reaching some sort of 'bottom' such that they pull themselves out of this funk by sheer force of will to "salvage" the season. What would that say about how this team was prepared and coached during the off season and spring and fall ball?
I considered saying "shuck it" at focusing my time on hunting for the remaining football weekends but I don't want to be a bad fan so I will hope for the best and be in my seat at Memorial Stadium or in front of my TV, but am not an optimist at this point. My Kool Aid pitcher done run out.
