Sports pain.

Everyone has exprienced the pain of watching their favorite sports teams lose a big game. Names like Bobby Olive Mark Wade and Greg Frey may not mean anything to the average sports fan but to me the mention of these names causes me ESP ......Extreme Sports Pain.  Greg Frey and Bobby Olive teamed up to beat Iowa on a last second touchdown pass.Mark Wade lead the UNLV Runnin Rebels back from a 21 point deficit in a final eight showdown during the 1987-88 season. The pain from these loses was so painful that I can still remember key plays and situations during the losses.I couldnt eat for at least a day and i didnt watch any sports television for at least a week. I was actually in Kinnick Stadium for Frye to Olive and I sat their untill every person left the stadium.I can remember Wade grinning as he dribbled out the clock and crushed my dreaam of seeing Iowa in the final four for the second time in my life. Perhaps those disappointments have tempered my feelings when the Hawks struggle during a bad season. Was the pain worth the chance at a big victory for my team? Absolutely it certainly was.
