I'll tell you why I am nervous.  It's because I was nervous before Oregon, said so here, and got lots of reassurance from many of you about how well we would do.  And my intuitive foreboding wound up coming true. 

Now, the fact that I have such foreboding before nearly every game is neither here nor there....all that matters to my emotional state is that I had it once and it proved true in a key game.  That  is enough reinforcement to bring it back in spades this week!  So any effort on your part to reassure me now will simply inflame my fears more!

My hope is that memory of the Oregon loss and the narrow wins over WSU and the ND will keep a sense of anxiety in our players.  I think some anxiety is healthy in cases like this.   

By the way, is the first game available on replay somewhere?
