It’s time to reset our expectations

Thursday last week, my girlfriend and I were out running errands and there was a local bar advertising Malört. I live in Seattle and it's not normal to see it stocked, let alone advertised, at bars in Seattle.

I told her that if Illinois wins on Saturday, I’ll take the short stroll to the bar down the street to take a shot of Malört. She reminded me that Illinois would only be beating Nebraska and if the Illini are actually as good as I say they are, the win should be expected.

This win shouldn't be special.
