@Virgil,
As the ball came down and was caught, I quietly told my kid next to me, "Oh, they just lost the game."
I went outside in the cold dark, and sat alone on the front steps. I thought of what you may be thinking at that particular moment. BBFS is also strong in this one.
I stayed away yesterday because it was simply too much to believe, but my positive is that it wasn't a playoff game! I'll have to go with that.
Great write-up.
