This past Saturday I remembered what losing feels like and it ain't good. For twenty two straight football games other fans have left football games against the Gators with the same feelings I had Saturday night. Truthfully, I never once put myself in their shoes, I liked winning and most of all I enjoyed being smug about it. I had comforted myself with the certainty that if and when we lost it would be a close game and probably we would lose on a bad call by the referees. Didn't happen that way, not even close. We got our butts handed to us. In Vegas I have always felt sorry for gamblers, I mean don't they know that all of those beautiful casinos and astronomical salaries paid to performers are not financed by people beating the house? I mean, come on how dumb can you be? But, when it comes to the University of Florida football team, I thought they might never lose. How dumb can can I be? Pretty damned dumb.
Two national championship in football and two national championships in basketball, all within in five years. So cheer up, the sun rose this morning and you know what, the sun was still orange and the sky was still blue. Go Gators!
