Just like every year, I am very Zen. Love the roller coaster ride, and enjoy it for what it is. Then when the dust settles, root like a maniac for the team we have.
There was a (Im guessing here) 10-12 year old boy sitting next to me (Iowa fan), and he was all excited until about the last 8 minutes of the game, you could tell he was really going through it. His dad was really nice after the game and gave a congrats and a good luck.
