"Nothing more important than a bet ever depends on the outcome of a game."

And, please, when discussing the performance or prospects, the wins or losses, of your city or college team, never, ever use the pronoun "we." It don't apply. It does apply when talking about your country's army, but that's a very different matter.

Who wins a game makes no difference to that fact.

I'm just trying to fight the assumption, proclaimed by coaches everywhere, that all this shit should be taken seriously. It shouldn't. It doesn't matter. It's not important.
