And guess what.....MU keeps playing on. They have the one loss in OT to a good SC team, but quite frankly maybe that loss has done more for the psyche for this team than being undefeated at this time.
I'm gun-shy no different than you or everyone else.....but I choose to look at this season to be one of the most enjoyable I have seen MU have in years. This was supposed to be a year when MU was going to stumble again, people were planning Pinkel's successor (rightfully so at the time) and we were losing recruits we should have locked.
Now, here we are at the door of possibly going to the CCG....I can choose to look at this game and say this is probably where we falter, or I can say, you know what, this team has surprised me all year, so I owe them a little faith in the team.
I choose the latter.

That's a really good post, and I agree with almost everything you've said, but one can be cautious and still enjoy the moment. What irks me are the people who started booking their flights to Atlanta on October 19, and who treat the game like it's far more predictable than what it really is.
You may be 90% to win the hand, but don't start jumping around until the river card comes.
