I still have some tendencies, like being tempted to not watch the Ohio State football team because "they seem to play better when I don't watch!" and that sort of thing. I immediately know it's ridiculous, though.

Speaking of them, it's probably a good thing that they were beat so badly by Clemson! They're finally replacing their QB coach and offensive coordinator!!

Many Nebraska fans were perplexed that tOSU hired Tim Beck (after Tom Herman left) because they thought their QB's regressed under him, and the play-calling upset many of them too. I saw the same problem at tOSU immediately. It's hard to convince other fans when a team mostly keeps winning, though. Lots of people don't seem to use their own eyes as long as the team keeps winning, making statements like "In Urban I trust!"

Imagine how the narrative of the Presidential election would have been vastly different if Hillary had eked out an EC win instead.
