Re: THE RANT THREAD!
The football team for local high school for the city in which I now live, made it to the State Playoffs. The dominated the District and Area rounds of the playoffs, and made it to the Regional playoffs.
Tonight, some friends and I drove just past Corpus Christi, TX (approx 260 miles, round trip) to watch the Regional Playoff game against a team that was picked to win by *at least* one touchdown.
The Cardinals (the team I went to watch) led for the entire game, but missed a field-goal and allowed their opponents to tie the game up in the 4th quarter of play.
The game went into double overtime, and the local team lost by missing an extra point after a touch-down.
Picked to lose... dominate the game... miss a field-goal and let the other team catch up... continue to stay in the game... then lose by a point that should have been a freebie (perhaps they should look into that kicking game).
I hate it for these guys... this is the farthest that they have ever made it in the payoffs, and they beat themselves 31-30.
Oh... and the referees sucked... but they were unbiasedly horrible... so I can't blame the loss on them.
dammit.
