What keeps me awake at night

*What if Notre Dame loses on Saturday? I've been waiting for this game for about 8 months. I've been waiting to wash out the bad taste in my mouth left over from the end of last season (Hawaii Bowl notwithstanding). What if they lay an egg and lose to Nevada? It would be crushing, that's for sure. I'd like to see them at least compete for a BCS bowl, but that goes out the window with a loss this weekend. I don't even want to think about such a possibility.

*What if the Vikings lose in week 2 at Detroit? Back in 2001, the Vikings lost to an 0-12 Lions team, and I thought that was humiliating. But that '01 team wasn't any good (5-11) and Todd Bouman started that game at QB. This Vikings team should be very good. We have he-who-shall-not-be-named at QB. I don't want to live with the stigma of being the team that ended Detroit's long losing streak. I really wish they played Detroit later in the season, so the Lions could get that win out of the way and then at least a loss wouldn't be as humiliating.
