More on the rematch

I agree with John, but am not sure whether I want a rematch or not. I'm truly ambivalent. I kind of want a rematch for these reasons: I really think UM is better than anybody else out there (excluding us, of course), and a rematch could cause the kind of outrage that would make people start thinking seriously about a tournament (see Urban Meyers' comments from a few weeks ago). I want to avoid a rematch, however, because of the following: I honestly fear getting beat the second time (call me a pessimist), and playing them again--especially after that unbelievable game on the 18th--seems kind of unnatural, like necromancy or trying to raise a loved one from the dead (not that I "love" the Wolverines, but we do share a kind of necessary, existential connection that transcends football). At any rate, this ambivalence has rendered me unable to root for either side in either of USC's final two games. I just want it to be over so we can start concentrating on who we'll play.
