I had a whole bit written up that I was going to share with you and then I saw the article below this morning, and thought, "NAH, I'll save that bit for later."
Was FAU overconfident against Nebraska?
Cornerback D'Joun Smith says he believes that if FAU played Nebraska again the Owls would win. Now, the Owls' defense has something to prove at Alabama.
I understand that you need to maintain a positive attitude about yourself and your team, but there remains a point at which failure to deal with reality means you've tipped over the edge into a delusional crevice and once you're there, it is damned difficult to get out.
FAU has their chance this weekend playing against Alabama. If they just don't make the same mistakes (and Alabama's team is infested with pre-game dysentery), they could win.
Otherwise, we may be seeing the same article from them next week and that would be really, really sad.

The 'little something extra' were fast-paced practices, extra conditioning and work in broiling indoor heat as the No. 7 Spartans try to get ready for Saturday's trip to No. 3 Oregon (6:30 p.m., Fox). With temperatures expected in the mid-90s for the game at Autzen Stadium, the Spartans are doing what they can to prepare.
