My expectations for Univ. of Mich. football are definitely lower this year. As gametime approaches, I remain calm - interested, but relaxed. Today I fully expected to watch a loss, since Iowa has been quite good so far. I was watching the game and looking at catalogs at the same time, as if to prove to myself that there's more to life than college football, and we weren't going to win anyway, but I'm a loyal watcher.
Expectations have been raised after today. Oh sure, it was very close, and it went to overtime, and we only won by 3 points - but the team did far better than I anticipated, especially with another injury to Michael Hart and all of the other injuries. Somehow they managed to pull it out at the last minute - and nobody was more surprised than I.
Next week they play Northwestern. Now it just so happens that NW beat State today 49-14. Ouch. So what can we expect next week? I'm expecting to WIN! Well, maybe not. But I expect they'll look good losing.
