I need to stop investing so much emotional energy in football. When some stupid sports column makes me cry because I know that my Irish are awesome, just treated like crap by more than their normal share of critics this season, there are issues. At least Mich and ND won't both be 0-3 after next weekend. The most frustrating part is that I know we have SO MUCH potential if we would just quit listening to everyone trying to tell us that we're worthless.

Being in the spotlight makes a person or a team vulnerable to cheers as well as jeers and for fans some tears.
