The night we lost the game, most of us took to our dorm rooms. If you've ever played competitive sports, you know how brutal a loss can be.Īnd if your team thinks you’re the one who “blew it” for them, the retaliation can be harsh.
I could tell a few of the guys on my team were pissed at me. On the bus ride back to campus, nobody sat next to me. Not even my best buddy.Īs we got close to our school, I overheard one of our wide receivers and a cornerback whispering.
