Yea, it pisses me off too. But we had already screwed up that year with losses. It's this picture that allows me to smile now:
Thirty minutes after the game last year and for this fan, the reality of the loss is still settling in. I remember the day of the game, I was in a Speedway and some WV fans had just arrived in the city. I walked up to the cash register with a box of Kleenex and said to a WV fan standing nearby, "Hey, you better get these now because there's going to be a run on them after the game by your fans!"
He was cordial and chuckled softly but I could hear his mind loud and clear. "You freakin' red clad ass butt, you just wait until tonight!" I did, and man it was worth the wait! I think I'll go watch that game again, right now!
Oh by the way, what's a silent auction? Is it like when no one bids and they force the prize on you as you leave the party (sorta like UofL football tickets in the early 90's at Thorntons)?
