Just heard Kirk Herbstreit on ESPN regarding South Florida taking on #17 Auburn this weekend and the potential for an upset:

…on one hand Matt Grothe and South Florida have an opportunity to go to Auburn and compete. On the other hand I think their chances of pulling off this upset diminish as the days go by because too many people are talking about it.

What the hell does that even mean?!

I had no idea that people talking about a potential upset can cause it to not happen.   Thank God no one talked about the possibility of Appalachian State beating Michigan. Otherwise they wouldn’t have been able to block that kick at the end of the game.
