We never win that game

When I arrived back at my tailgate, those were my friend Tom's first words to me: We NEVER win that game.
And we never do. The close game at home against a solid opponent that can either build or destroy our momentum - we never win that game. Michigan 2000. Michigan 1995. California 2005. Michigan State 1999 (although that season turned out OK). All September games where we could build momentum but stumbled.
And it's not just that -- it's the close game at home that goes right down to the wire. Ohio State 2002. Missouri 2007. Penn State 1994. Minnesota 2008. Michigan 2000 (again).
