I have to say 2003 and 2004 were both total shocks. Look at what we lost in 2002 and compare that to everyone's expectations for ND this past year with their losses to graduation. In 2003 during the season as they extended the winning streak it felt like a smoke and mirrors job and I kept expecting the magic to end. When the streak ended it felt like pulling the curtain back on the wizard of oz. I knew they were a good team, but a championship team - nah. And the idea that that team could repeat in 2004 was tough to sustain. They had 4 loses and again I just expected someone to step up and stop them. 2013 - Year started expecting to win, a few doubts in the middle and more at the end. But from the first game of the NCAA I expected them to win - team just felt different and I thought the ND and Baylor losses actually increased their chances of winning.
