I would too if I was a fan...of Florida International. But this is a team with arrogant fans, an arrogant coach, and arrogant expectations...the last of which isn't necessarily a bad thing, I think we all have them if we believe our program is elite. If Ohio State loses a game, I think to myself OK, we'll bounce back and get the next one. IF we were 0-5, I certainly wouldn't be trumpeting a competitive half against 2 teams that will not win the Big Ten this year. If I'm an Indiana fan, I'm ecstatic last week, wow, we beat Iowa on the road, awesome, but as an Ohio State fan, it's yeah, we beat another overrated Kirk Ferentz team...next. It's expectations versus results, and I just don't see one (OK 2 in separate games) half of football as being worthy of trumpeting anything for a prgram of Notre Dame's former stature...turning a corner or otherwise.
