This needs to be prefaced - did we (the Birddogs) just lose to the London Royals in NFL overtime rules or college overtime rules? Because if it's NFL OT rules, that loss will sting even more because out offense may have not even had a chance to get out onto the field.
That aside, the heart wrenching loss we just suffered took a toll on the morale of the team, for sure. The tunnel and locker room were silent as players were processing what just happened. I think somebody kicked over a cooler. It's the worst ting to happen to a professional athlete, and you could tell by the looks of this locker room. After a while, Captain Air Bud, the only doggo capable of lifting everyone up, took the floor.
"Woof. Woof, woof."
The heartstrings of everyone were pulled at these amazing postgame remarks. Anthony MacGuire was crying after hearing such uplifting words. LaDamien Beck, my player and backup safety to the prolific pooch, was in awe.
"That's true leadership right there" was his reaction.
As everyone was packing up to get on the bus, moods were slightly improved. The loss hurt, but the comradery of the team helps lighten everyone's minds. After a while, the consensus among the team was just "beat them next time."
Go Birddogs!
