[QUOTE="OrangeNBrood, post: 1513561, member: 6152"] Yo, there was a graphic during the game that stated how Wisconsin had held us under 70 points for an even longer stretch than our 15 game losing streak. [B]So we erased two marks of extreme shame tonight.[/B] In a completely unrelated point: I'm watching Greg Gard in the post-game right now, and... don't ch'all think it's mad dumb when journalists ask coaches and players like "how [I]much[/I] does this loss hurt, given blah blah blah... "? I mean, what do they expect these players and coaches to do? To quantify the pain of the loss? "Yeah, this loss hurt - I'd say it was somewhere between a serious toothache - you know, the kind where ya gums are a little discolored and swollen? - yeah, so between that and not paying attention and sitting on a golf ball." "Yeah, this loss was rough. How much it hurt? I'd say about as much as when I was in my late 30s and my wife gained a significant amount of weight, so we stopped being intimate for a while. Like 3 years. Then one day I come home early and find her in bed with the manager of the team I was coaching at the time. He was 17. Yeah, I'd say that kind of pain." [/QUOTE]
