2010 Take Your Medicine Day

So back before the season started (for football), I undertook my annual exercise in humility and tried to pick every game on our schedule.  At the time, I felt a little Jekyll and Hyde.  I was certainly concerned. I though our team was young and the schedule was unfavorable.  I saw 2-10 as worst case and 6-6 as the very best case.  For my real prediction, I split the difference and went 4-8.  As it turns out, I was the disappointed optimist once again, as the worst case came true.  

I wasn't as far off as it looks.  I thought we could beat Buffalo and Miami and we almost did.  I had the Marshall game back.  I decided the 4th win would be Toledo, which was pretty much not even close, and the team surprised me with a road with at CMU that I didn't think we would get.  All of which makes me 8-4 for the year.

Remember, the whole Jekyll/Hyde thing is about a dysfunctional mind....
