Dog I've felt the pain before of losing one of these big BCS games (1999, 2001, and last year), and I might feel it later, and all I can say is it sucks watching time run out on such a great season. As it gets closer and closer to end panic sets in momentarily, but you realize it's not the end of the world. After those big title game losses, I made sure to wear a FSU shirt the next day, so I know what you mean about bein proud.
An unfortunate ending, but overall not a bad season for the Wolverines.
