My son's wife left the game to go get something from the kitchen twice in the late stages of the game. Both times we hit Home Runs. He wouldn't let her come back after the second HR until the game was over!

I will admit it made it a lot easier to watch after you just expect its over around the 5th inning. The 8th inning happened with almost no expectations.
I basically made a negative tweet and knew that after I did that we would be good to go.
Plus I get to read and laugh at all the Pollyanna MSU fans responses asking me how I felt now. Like I would be mad that we won.
I had "accepted" the loss mentally after the 7th inning. I got pretty mad when Lemonis left Mac in to give up 2 more runs, so I just quit posting and texting about it - I'm typically already negative due to the conditioning that comes with being a State fan for 30+ years, so I try to keep my thoughts to myself when I get that aggravated. Never turned it off, watched every pitch, still can't believe it!
Have to admit I didn't think we'd ever even get a hit, let alone a score. Their starting pitcher had something like an 80 pitch count late into the game and looked strong. We never quit watching though - great ending so the wait was rewarded. This is a tough team.
When Kellum hit the bomb I was content to be honest. I had no expectations for what would happen after. I was just relieved we wouldn't be no hit. I had no clue what was to come.

I only turn off games when we are pitching ahead in 9th only up 1 run. I can never watch and instead I just wait for the texts to come. I know if I get texts that means we won, if they dont come or it takes a while I know something went wrong.
You and about 80% of the fan baseQuote:
