Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
I was busy watching the Xichigan fiasco! Never saw anything like it, kinda like watching a car wreck in slow motion. After stealing a win by one point against a team that they were favored to win by 30 and payed millions to play the fans stormed the field like their team just won the national championship. If the same thing would have happened to Ohio State against Ball State I would have quickly left the stadium with my head hung low realizing that that was the last win I would be seeing all season.
Agreed!

Class is a big part of the game at this stage in these young people's lives. That used to be a part of what the college experience was about. You had to recruit, and become part of these kids families. They all earned it.

I think Ohio does very well at that for having such a long run of success. I can happily say the same about my team. But If I was an LSU fan, any success I had after the disgusting coach poach last year, and trying to sign the entire NFL to the roster, what would I felt like I had achieved?

I agree but I don’t think Kevin was rooting for LSU , he just wanted the other team to suffer .
 
Then you haven’t been on Instagram today! Last play of the game, Xichigan is down by six, the quarterback overthrows a Hail Mary to the Endzone , clock goes to zero before the defensive player catches it. Game over? Ref adds one second back to the clock with no explanation and the next Hail Mary succeeds. People are furious.
At that point they look better if they just lose fair and square, rather than to win like this.
