Post-Pain

Posted by: Bradley McDonald

Well, the pain is beginning to subside. I get really into games as they’re happening, but I can’t stay depressed too long after the game if my team loses. Too much other good stuff in life to stay dejected over a game. Plus, I have to turn into a sweetheart since my girlfriend’s birthday is tomorrow. Do I hear an “awwww”?

The biggest college football game this weekend is Michigan at Purdue. Purdue suffered a heartbreaker last week against Wisconsin that ruined any chance of a National Championship. I thought they might be right there at the end, the way senior quarterback Kyle Orton started out the season. He had been terrific, but Wisconsin’s top-ranked defense shut him down. I think he rebounds and Purdue takes care of Michigan at home this weekend, but it should be a good game.

No telling what kind of influence this weekend’s games will have on the BCS. I heard that a Miami freshman failed a test this past week, and I think GPA is a factor this year. Ha.
