Spare A Thought For This Kid

You're in a nationally televised game against your most hated rival.

You're a true Freshman field goal kicker.

With 14 seconds to go, your team is down by 3 points.

You've never made a kick over 40 yards before, and this one is going to be from 49 yards.

Those hated rivals used up their time outs to "ice" you. Twice.

You line it up and kick - it has the legs, going at least halfway up the uprights.

But is is about 2 feet to the right.

Your team, Oklahoma State loses to Oklahoma, 38 - 35, and you feel that everything is your fault. It was really great to see the Oklahoma State players and coaches going up to this kid, who's totally shattered, and give him the support and encouragement that they did. This kid will come back and make some game winners, because he's good. And because of his teammates.
