Well, at least it won't be Boise. That may not be much of a consoling thought, but it's about the best anyone can come up with after the Boston College Eagles eliminated themselves from ACC championship consideration by losing a 17-14 decision to Miami at the decrepit Orange Bowl last night.

Those of you with the Rockies in four are out of the pool. It was a nice thought, I suppose. With 21 of 22 and seven straight in the postseason, why not run the table? But there had to be some sort of shelf life on karma, right? Four or five days, max, I'd say.

Tim Jarrett understands what I'm saying. What a great Superbowl, and what an opportunity for Boston sports fans to learn the value in losing. What? Value in losing? You bet.  It wasn't that long ago when Boston was one of the best cities in the USA for sports precisely because Boston teams were such spectacular losers. I'll never forget the misery of the Dowbrigade after the Red Sox lost something (or did they win, I forget). They must have lost because he swore he'd never let them break his heart again the way they had for his whole life (he's about my age). Losing teaches you that there's more to life than winning, and that's the best lesson possible and it's the one lesson you keep needing to learn over and over until you lose everything, which like it or not is what we all do in the end. People write poetry about losing, great music is composed about lost causes. Who writes an ode to winning? They're too busy getting drunk or getting laid.  Never have I loved a team more or felt more kinship with my fellow fans than when our team goes down in flames after a season of great ups and downs. No doubt there are no smiles or tears of joy in Boston today. But there is hope. And that, even when you win, is all that's left after a great season.

Freshman forward (and "American Idol" finalist) Ayla Brown sang the national anthem, then the crowd of 5,519 remained ...
