somewhere

After I dragged my own frozen rear end home

and made my own post around 1 am

and saw your fingers hadn't been busy yet.

In a righteous heaven, I saw you laughing and knocking back shots with Brian and Art-- while K looked up thirstily.  (And hope you did get a chance to celebrate at least some with them.)

You do forget everything.

All the bad was suddenly washed away in that 4th qtr tidal wave of momentum and emotion.

A final magic carpet ride, for the few frozen fans that remained...

And then, I woke up

....for Brian, Harry, Art and the rest of the seniors.

If we looked like we did in the 4th quarter in our 6 losses (or even our 5 other wins), we'd be booking tickets to New Orleans as we speak.

So many emotions last night, and when we look back at the season last night's win will probably soften the hard feelings (although there's always the what-if, and the 4th quarter as proof of what the team could have been).

Over the next few weeks, as the inevitable coaching changes come and Kragthorpe names names on the "off the field" issues, it might get pretty hard to watch.

But as I was leaving last night, I had two thoughts: I can't believe I'm never going to see Brohm to Douglas in PJCS again, and I can't wait for the spring game.

Not quite. But given EVERYTHING that has happened this season, I couldnt have asked for a more dramatic and exciting ending to the most disappointing season in history. This group of Seniors are some of the best athletes to don the Cardinal uniforms and I am so happy that they got that last win. Something to hang their head high. It makes even the most stoic, manly men get misty eyed. Not me though. Im too macho for that shit. I had something in my eye.

I was rooting for you guys to pull off the win last night, for all the reasons Mike listed. Well done.

there are few bowl invitations left and virtually no chance the Cards will play again this year, but isnt there a spot for a Cardinal team that makes games interesting and fun to watch for casual fans? The offense scores lots of points and the defense is just good enough (bad enough) to keep games interesting and allow the other school to score a lot as well. I think that football fans would love to see a high scoring shootout with a future first round draft pick at the helm.
