Does being behind when the time runs out mean you lose? For a group of young men from Memphis you probably will never convince them of anything else. For millions of fans that watched all over the country you can't ever make the low any worse than what it was at the end of the game. But I stand here and say that being behind when time ran out is just an obstacle to overcome next year.
Now what we have to do is realize what those men from Memphis have done in the last few weeks. They have taken a city that watched the nightly news to see how many people have died, been robbed, raped, etc. and turned it into Tiger Fever. For a short time we got a break from reality and learned to like ourselves and more importantly have pride in ourselves as we supported a team with spirit.
No. We didn't lose. We won on so many more important levels. There is no I in loser because you and "I" won so much more by just being in the moment with them.
How many people died in Memphis yesterday? It wasn't our focus. We won!
Go Tigers Go!
Next year the fight begins again. Never give up even when the time runs out.
