I was not sure going into tonight’s game for two reasons. One is personal and one is having watched Eastern Michigan for too long. The personal reason is as follows. As you know, I had a scare over the winter and had to get my mitral valve replaced. I’ve mostly recovered but still feel the lingering effects of having that surgery. I wasn’t sure that I would be able to withstand the close to five miles I put in prowling the sidelines. Well, I overcame that hump. I feel pretty good as I am writing this.
The Eastern Michigan reason is because when it seems like this team has turned the corner, they do something to drag me back to the reality of following Eastern Michigan.
