It was painful, for sure.

But more in a hitting your thumb with a hammer sense than a getting cornholed dry sense.

It's the difference between hanging tough and folding. Between a good fight and an ass-pounding. Between a good race and a DNF.

Losing never feels good, but how you lose means something. You guys lost like you didn't even belong in the game.

I still claim our loss was a better loss - if there is a thing - than yours was. You got ass-raped. I wouldn't say it was easy to take if I were you.
