An Almost Unbearable Loss

How are you feeling this morning? If you’re like me, yesterday hurt even more than Saturday night. Maybe today will be better, but I doubt it. Where do you place Saturday’s controversial loss to Virginia? For this writer, it’s the most painful ever.

Losing to Florida St. in the BCS Championship hurt. Watching Van Tiffin hit that 52-yard field goal in 1985 was a punch to the throat. Watching what was supposedly the best officials in the country take Saturday’s game into its own hands is almost unbearable. Florida St. made the plays in Pasadena. Van Tiffin made the kick at Legion Field.
