But when you fi nish second, it is, and I don’t want to be overly dramatic or hyperbol- ic here, basically a pit of despair. You bought in, you believed in this group, you had hope and were ruthlessly let down. It is Michael Dyer’s knee not going down in the Auburn-Or- egon National Championship in 2011. It is Oregon getting rocked in the 2015 National Championship (I had to just look up the score of that game because I had blocked it from my memory. I refuse to repeat the score here because I fi rm- ly believe we should all make a pact saying the season ended with the Rose Bowl victory over Florida State).

It helps park staff plan the hike and provides them with par- ticipant contact information should hike details change. OPRD advises visitors to plan for inclement weather, dress in layers, wear sturdy shoes, bring water and re- member to carry binoculars ketball not being able to get a rebound against North Carolina in the 2017 Final Four (now this wasn’t technically for second place, but try to convince me that the Ducks would have lost to Gonzaga). It is Atlanta United fi nding ways to score two goals and make everything diffi cult for the Portland attack on Satur- day night. To a rational human, second place is a great accomplishment. To a logical person, it would seem hypocritical to celebrate a win and deride sports all to- gether aft er a loss. But alas, here I am just another irrational sports fan. In Nelly’s smash-hit song from 2001, “#1”, he explains the paradox that is second-place most succinctly by stating, “Two is not a winner.” My best friend, who also is emotional- ly-burdened by caring too much about sports, echoed a similar sentiment in a text this week- end, writing, “We can say it was an amazing season all we want, it was, but that doesn’t take away how [bad] the feeling is aft er the game.” So here we are, sad that sec- ond place can’t be enjoyed be- cause fi rst place was right there; it was that close. But since this cruel relationship with sports certainly isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, the road forward is simple: tell your loved ones and fellow fans that it is going to be okay, grab a drink if that’s your style and get ready because I’m sure next year is our year. Or maybe it’s the year aft er that.
