wife and i were at the game. we had incredible expectations that year. n.d. took the opening kickoff and marched practically untouched to a first and goal at the one yard line. wife said to me, "this is waaaaaay too easy. we shouldn't even be playing these guys." i said, "irish haven't scored yet - don't jinx 'em. just wait - it's a long game." next play was handoff to asaph schwap. ball got knocked out of his grip and went a mile into the air. south florida back grabbed it and went 99 yards the other way for the touch. 7 - 0 bulls. it didn't get much better as the night went on. at one point thunderstorms came barreling into the area and the stadium had to be cleared (it was a night game). we finally had to leave in order to make it to our overnight stop.
found out the next day the bulls had won 23 - 20.
never take any team for granted.
ever.
