I do this to myself every year. No matter how craptastic a game result, I always start feeling optimistic after a day or two.
We are on year 5 now of “proud to go 5-7” football, and one would think I would have enough sense to know better, but as I sit here, I start feeling inexplicably optimistic about the rest of the season. I know, I know… where is the evidence to support any reason for optimism? It’s lunacy to think anything other than 5 wins as the ceiling this year or ANY “Beaner Ball” season.
I don’t want to feel that depression, that gut punch, that kick in the balls losing feeling going forward as a result of getting my hopes up only to have reality set in.
Maybe after we struggle to put Duquesne away late in the fourth it will finally set in, but right now, I have this bizarro-world Superman feeling that we are gonna win the next 4 games straight.
So, please, someone bring me back to reality and remind me of how funkugly WVU football is under Beaner Ball.
