Author’s disclaimer: This column is called Hot Take Tuesday. The opinions and predictions contained in this column will not all be accurate. In keeping with the hot take tradition of sports (particularly football) media, you’re probably better off taking in the spirit of the take rather than the words themselves. Don’t worry, at the end I’ll tell you how seriously to take it.
Losing is bad. Losing is, in fact, the worst result you can have in a contest where one team wins and the other loses. Players hate losing, fans hate losing and the schools themselves hate losing.
