As I was going through the scores of the Pac-12 games this morning, a few stood out to me:
Utah beat ASU by 23.
WSU beat Cal by 35.
Stanford beat the ducks by 25 (and were up by 39 before backing off in the 4th quarter).
This made me wonder at what point in those games the fans of the losing team gave up hope. And that made me remember how few games last year had any hope for Beaver fans in the 4th quarter. And that, finally, made me understand that this year's team just won't let us give up.
At Minnesota: With 1:27 left in the game, the Beavers are driving for a potential game tying or game winning score.
Idaho State: Beavers win by 30.
Boise State: With 3:21 left in the game, the Beavers are doing an onside kick to try to continue an improbable comeback attempt.
Cal: Fans are glued to their seats to see the Beavers win in overtime.
Utah: With 37 seconds left, the Beavers are driving for the potential game-winning score.
WSU: With 10:19 left, 5:57 left, and 0:04 left, the Beavers are driving for the potential game-winning score.
At Stanford: As the third quarter winds down, the Beavers are scoring to cut Stanford's lead to a single score.
At UCLA: With 5 minutes left in the game, the Beavers are driving for a potential game-tying or game-winning score.
Week after week, they refuse to give up and they refuse to let us give up. The TV announcers said last night that this Beaver team "always finds a way to keep fighting".
They want wins. We want wins. Of course we do. That's why we keep watching....as the Beavers get so close. "They just need to learn to win" sounds like a cop out, but it really seems to apply in this case.
