Historian Thomas Fuller once said “The darkest hour is just before dawn” and I am not sure I knew just how true this quote was before February 5, 2017. I am sure like most of you I have had my fair share of ups and downs as a sports fan, but none like that day.
My teams have won championships and have had heartbreaking losses throughout my life. However, none will ever be quite like February 5, 2017.
I don’t bring that date up to put you through more misery, I promise. I bring that date up simply because we have been living in our darkest hour for the last 723 days.
