Gil Pound: Pound for Sweetness

Jun. 14—I have a list of opponents I cannot stand seeing my favorite sports teams lose to.

You know the ones I'm talking about. Those teams that when they hand your team a loss, it can ruin an entire day, week, or even a year depending on the sport. Oftentimes the culprits are divisional or geographical rivals. Other times it's a program that tries to force you to ring in the New Year on a sour note.

But as Ohio State learned, the spoon carrying the sweet taste of victory can take a sudden left turn — I mean wayyyyy left — and turn sour in a hurry.
