As Michigan football fans, we are used to disappointment and have a self protecting device in all of our brains that protect us from complete melt downs. So when it looks like the game is lost, that device triggers and we start thinking the game is over before its officially over. That device allows us to deal with the loss prematurely, so we can move on to worrying about other things like Spring Football and whether Shea Patterson is eligible or not.
We would love to turn off that device, with thoughts like it's not over until its over, but then we remember things like block fields goals against App.
