Moral Victories amidst Major Defeats

Jim was right. That makes twice this new year that I have boldly predicted games in opposition to my brother, and twice I have been soundly defeated (carrying on my fine tradition of picking sports from last year). The only consolation I can find in Florida’s decimation of OSU–it really happened, despite the fact that the right up is all about a senior walk-on for Florida–is that even Jim didn’t think Florida would win that handily. Florida was so overwhelming that it made me think they may even have been able to beat Boise State.

Now (contra Jim), if only we had a playoff to see it.
