Perhaps I should have reconsidered. Morgan had a tremendous career as a Lady Eagle, or whatever they call themselves. Now that her collegiate field hockey career is over, I hope that she finds a way to continue to excel athletically.<br /><br />Were I a poor loser, I doubt that I would be making light of the fact that Morgan and I both tried to cheat our way to success in this irrelevant poll. To say that I lost "fair and square" would be one thing that I would be fine with. I lose fair and square on a regular basis, and handle such defeats appropriately. This, however, was not the case. I tried to cheat my way to victory, and was out-cheated by a better cheater. Make no mistake, we're both cheaters. I'm not proud of it, so I'm using humor to make myself feel better about it. I cheated as hard as I could and just couldn't cheat enough to win.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm always surprised to hear that people I know read it, but just shocked when strangers read it too. Happy New Year!Berthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07273010991476506590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2819419132144401768.post-6513962090592697242011-12-28T10:02:45.409-05:002011-12-28T10:02:45.409-05:00"last semester of mediocrity without field ho..."last semester of mediocrity without field hockey to guide her through life"?????<br /><br />The true mark of good character is not how gracious a winner you are, but how you demonstrate yourself in defeat.<br /><br />I do not know Morgan Jones, and I only found this due to a link on the Patch site, but you demonstrate you win alot and obviously are a very poor looser. <br /><br />To paraphrase the beer commercial - "stay whiney my friend".Peter Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10337292949606637666noreply@blogger.com
