Winning and Losing
This is winning.
This is losing.
In the end, this is why men and women who love sports, love sports. It's the absolute bottom line. To get to the top photo you have to go through the bottom photo. One hurts terribly, one feels incredibly good. It's worth enduring one to experience the other.
Yeah, it's fun to dribble and shoot and play defense and rebound, or hit a ball, or run over a bridge, or swim a leg of a triathlon. But to get good you have to practice, and practicing is not fun. The only reason you do it is to get to Photo One.
Even armchair quarterback TV couch potatoes get to feel like this, when their team finally wins something after losing year after year. The beer is colder! The chips are crunchier! The pigs feet are moister! The biltong is chewier! Go Bruins!

It never occured to me that you would be a UCLA fan, but it should have. They were really lucky to win that game, although more than luck, I guess they kept their composure. I will root for them against Memphis since they are the west and the underdog, but I don't have lots of hope for them. They were awful for 3/4 of that game and they cannot do that against Memphis. Or they will be the ones crying.
Go Shockers!
wowza, a comment from NTLucas!
This was a fine piece and it
reminded me of when the Giants
lost the World Series. I will
never recover from that. Never.
