[NU Sports] Football Fatigue ?

I have noticed less mailing list activity this week, leading up to the Badger game.  Additionally, I have noticed no discussion this morning of the (seemingly annual) loss to Butler.

Could it be a symptom of Wildcat Football Fatigue ?  We woke up October 18 at 4-3, with 5 games to go, and a need to go 3-2 (with 3 tough foes and a trap/trophy game at Illinois), and strong desires to go to a warm weather bowl and avoid Detroit.  And with the win at Illinois, we essentially accomplished what we needed to do.  Is it possible that the pressure of the last 4 weeks has worn everybody out ?

On the basketball side, it seems to me that the weird vibe of the Carmody era wore most of us out a long time ago.

Will we have anything to talk about between the Bowl game and Lacrosse season ?
