At lunch, on my drive to the gym, I listened to a voice mail that my jujitsu instructor left apologizing for not enrolling me correctly in the class and assuring me that the problem’s been fixed. I got to call him back and say, “Not only did ‘SC lose to Texas, but ‘LA won against Arizona!”

I could hear him practically hang his head over the phone as he responded, “I now know what humility feels like. I guess I’m a Longhorn fan now.”
