Choke
As I stood in the rain in Groves Stadium today and watched Wake Forest prepare to assume a 17 point lead, I felt a familiar feeling: as my friends high-fived and celebrated my stomach began to tighten and I suddenly felt overwhelmingly nervous. "Yes," I thought, "I've seen this movie before and I know exactly how it ends."
Eight minutes later Wake Forest was trailing by 7. By the time the clock ran out, wake had turned a sure 17 point lead into an impressive 10 point defeat. After winning 17-3 over the course of 45 minutes, we somehow managed to lose the final 15 by a count of 24-0. I'm told my face betrayed the knowledge of impending doom long before the final buzzer sounded.
For the first time, I felt like a Wake Forest student today. I'm back in familiar territory. It's good to be home?
