Brothers In Defeat!

I had to use this photo to demonstrate what a team looks like even in defeat.

You’ll notice all of them are crying with an arm around their teammate.

Like Michigan, the Washington football team entered the game with a 14-0 record.

These young men began the championship game having only known VICTORY!

They ended the game tasting DEFEAT for the first time!

What a bitter taste it is.

I admire these young men who cling to one another for consolation.

That’s what a REAL TEAM does!

They stick together even in the agony of defeat!
