With 16 seconds left in the game, Texas scores to beat Ohio State in last night's Fiesta Bowl. Ouch. Buckeye nation, I know how you feel.
As a Browns fan, we've had victory snatched from our grasp lots of times. Mention Red Right 88, the fumble, the drive or even John Elway's name to any Browns fan and
you're bound to get a sigh of resignation. In the last seconds of three playoff games, the Browns found a way to lose. Last night's drive by the Colt McCoy led offense was reminiscent of Elway's leadership of the Broncos offense when they drove down 98 yards to score sending the 1986 playoff game versus the Browns into overtime.I know. I know. It doesn't help when people say, "At least the game was competative and well played." Those words are little consolation and barely touch the sting of the loss.
Browns Backers everywhere weep with you. We heed Paul's words from his letter to the church in Corinth, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God."
Take heart. There's always next year.
