This loss breaks my heart. Not for me; I, personally, could slough it off, it being the ticky-tackiest loss I've ever witnessed, and I've witnessed every blasted one since 2001. Forcing a superior team into as many mistakes as the Tigers made, converting the third downs that stymied us even last week, proving at last we do have a balanced game, and playing full steam until goose eggs tell me the future is almost here. Vastly superior teams have succumbed to a fate appropriate for the moniker Death Valley; we didn't even warrant a trip to the hospital. My heart-- seeing from the stands eye view how far we've come since the Fulmer years-- cannot break for that.
My heart does break for the boys. Every game has been emotional, and this one moreso than any other. To come inches within an upset after giving all their young, inexperienced selves are capable of and to walk away with another half-telling L in the column--I want to sen each player a postcard brimming with my utter excitement and faith in each and every one of them.
Obviously, we have much work to do and losses are not acceptable, but I hope our boys-- and fans-- embrace what we have accomplished on our way to what we will accomplish.
