Sports

Although this week was awesome and I had so much fun it was a very hard week for me in sports. The Hokies lost Thursday night and its pretty much the end of the season for us. It’s hard to believe that at some point in this season we where possible national championship contenders. We were so good but something happened and we have begun to self destruct. I’m not sure exactly what the problem is but I’m not giving up I can’t I have too much team pride. Hopefully we can make something of this season and still get 10 wins and make a decent bowl game. That wouldn’t be too bad plus I’m pretty tired of going to the orange bowl every single year.
Also, this loss has got me looking forward to next season. Hopefully we will be so much better because we will be much more mature offensively and we will have Darren Evans and Ryan Williams. That combo is absolutely insane and it might be the reincarnation of Lee Suggs and Kevin Jones. Having a two running back tandem would be absolutely awesome especially because both these running backs are a incredible combo of speed and strength. I pretty much can’t wait to see them both on the field at the same time.
Another disappointing sports loss for me was the Buffalo Bills. This was not as disappointing however because I have come to expect the Bills to be bad and not win very often. What was bad about this game was that the Bills started off so well only to crash in the second half. The Bills were up 10-6 at halftime and they were looking poised and their defense was playing outstanding. Of course in the second half they completely blew it and got crushed. It is so hard to be a Bills fan because this happens every year. It is absolutely ridiculous and sometimes I question how I remain loyal especially considering my whole life they have been bad and they’re becoming one of the jokes of the NFL.
What is really bad about being a Bills fan in Virginia is that I have no support system. I am friends with literally no Bills fans and I have only met a handful of people who like them. It is really depressing when people forget that your team plays in the NFL and I am used to people having that reaction when I tell them who I like.
Something else in the sports world that is disappointing me is that the Yankees are in the World Series. As a Red Sox fan I hate the Yankees so much it is unfathomable. I cannot stand to see them win so it is really hard for me to see them up in the World Series against the Phillies. The Phillies won tonight though so hopefully they can pull this one out and I won’t have to hear about how great the Yankees are when everyone knows that the Boston Red Sox are the best team.
