I've already touched on this a bit, but don't want to type it again, so here's the link to the Other Thread
As for getting ahead of ourselves, no one had THAT strong of expectations going into this year. I thought we'd win 6-7 games...but in that prediction Michigan was a loss, so maybe 8 games now. With the schedule that we play, it's damn hard to get ahead of yourself because pretty much any team can beat us on any saturday (Take MSU for example this coming weekend...Stanton scares the s*** out of me).
The point is, we're finally going in the right direction again. And this time, it's no fluke... I promise you that.
I did say "so far" in the title.
I'm not getting my hopes up (too much); but, I am hopeful that ND can be competitive enough this year that the can make a decent bowl game.
