I could even recognize the moment we lost it. We turned the ball over and the FresNO fans went nuts. I looked over to the Spartan Squad and noticed they were VERY quiet. In sports you really have to be able to hold a poker face, pick yourself up and keep going as if you never messed up. I don't think the Spartans know how to do this. It was turnover, big deal! We could have got the ball back and sent them back to the pound.
It's so heartbreaking to lose to fresNo and I took it to heart. Especially because I had been hyping it up for so long. The good news is we had an amazing tailgate. Shouting at the fresNO fans as they walked by telling them to go home. You might be surprised to find out that none other than Franny was the ring leader! HA! Jeff picked up some delicious chicken and polish sausages he grilled, and all the boys had a blast. I'll post the pictures tonight.
I'm pretty sure I've convinced everyone there to do this again next year. I'm still proud to wear my blue and gold, but just a little heartbroken.
'Till later...
