The Unthinkable Happens… Again

Losing to Georgia was bad. Losing to Michigan… far worse.
This is the team that lost to Appalachian State. The team I’ve picked on mercilessly. Karma’s a bitch.
Florida just embarrassed the SEC, and the ‘mo’ for the Big 10 vs. Southeastern Conference wars has swung decidedly back to the north.
Hell, Tennessee was able to beat Wisconsin, for crying out loud.
I’m having a hard time understanding how we lost this game. How our offensive line was manhandled. How we lost despite being +4 in turnover margin. How our players looked unprepared. How Michigan seemed to want it more.
How we went 4-and-out two consecutive freaking times to end the game.
One can always play the youth card, but jeez, we played horribly on both sides of the ball. I guess the Heisman Curse lives on.
Michigan commenters, and I’m sure we’ll see plenty of you guys, enjoy. Your team deserved to win and Coach Carr was able to go out in style. No excuses, Michigan is the superior team. (I just vomited in my mouth when I wrote that.) Commenting has been opened up so you can wag it in our faces all you like. We deserve it, I s’pose.
I’m probably going to take a break from blogging for awhile. Dive back into work. Spend more time with the family. I can’t really think about what just occurred because my frame of mind is… dangerous. Unstable.
I want to blame the coaches. I want to say Florida and the SEC is way overrated. I want to say that our defense is the worst I can remember seeing, and they were playing against a team that could only score a field goal against Ohio State. I’m wondering if LSU can restore some vestige of SEC pride in the championship game, or if Ohio State is licking their chops in wait for them there, too.
All that was assured is now suspect. Where once we stood on steady ground, we now find an undulating sea of uncertainty beneath us. Ugly speculation. Painful introspection.
And we get to do this for anther 9 months? Oh, joy.

Remember Trev? He 
Does the dream ever end?
