Welcome to Viva The Matador’s Excuse Emporium, where your team can win every game if not for insert thing here.
Unless we are the most homer of homers, we all understand the possibility of our team losing. There are very few teams in the nation that go into every game favored, and the odds are that your team is not one of them. Last year, there was not a single team in the nation that went undefeated.
Losing is tough. It grinds at your core, especially if you’re an alumnus of the school. It’s where you spent four (or five) years of your life, how dare it be desecrated by that inferior school from wherever!
