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....
