Painful, disturbing, distressing, mindboggling, insomnia causing, heart-wrenching, gut-punching, sickening, and these were the good things about this season.
This happened to me Wednesday: My brothers and I were coming through Kentucky. We stopped at a service station for gas and were browsing inside. We were looking at the many UK hats, tees, etc., and I remarked "Who's UK?" The guy behind the counter said a member of the Elite 5. In other words, one of the teams that lost to Tennessee. That summed it up for me.
Gonna be much better in '06, though.
