The loss itself was a shock. That’s one thing Brian O’Connor has done to us. He has us expecting a win in the big game.
That’s counter to our nature as UVa. sports fans. We’re so used to losing the big game that the question isn’t whether we’re going to win or lose, it’s how are we going to blow it this time. O’Connor had everybody but the OU fans in attendance last night convinced that Game 3 of the Super Regional was going to be little more than a coronation that was going to end with a dogpile of orange and blue.
