Today, my college football team won its first game of the season to go 1-2 for the year. But is this really a win? The vandals played in-state rival Idaho State, which is one of the few teams considered to be worse than UI. Throw in that the final score 20-17, the idea of "winning" gets slimmer and slimmer.
How good can it feel to beat a tem worse than you? isn't it better, or more gratifying, to defeat a team that should be better? Yeah, it was a close, hard-fought battle, but who cares? It isn't the NFL where the loser gets a higher draft pick.
And yet, I'm reminded of the South Park episode with the cripple fight. Now that was funny.
