A serious, heart-felt head nod to those of you who sat in the cold today and stayed for the entire game. I raise a glass to you. I wish you could get some improved Spartan credit score of some sort out of that.
When I walk to the stadium for a cold-weather game, I like to think that I could stick it out and go all four quarters. But when I was walking to the stadium today, I was thinking to myself, "I wouldn't be able to do this unless I had ski pants and face covering." Like snowmobile face covering. That wind was brutal.
And with the way the game ended, I can only give you an attaboy and a pat on the back. You're good.
I did see some fans in the corridors after the game and there were a lot more jovial smiles than I expected. I guess you get to the point that you have to have a sense of humor in all of that. I guess.
But to those of you, and you know who you are, to use an '80s phrase, this Bud's for you.
