Yeah, I really got suckered into believing. I wasted probably more time watching this crap than even what I do watching and reading about Ohio State football. It was pretty brutal to realize how badly I got bamboozled. I've just seen so many quality shows and movies in the past two weeks, it just amazes me looking back how bad Lost was. I watched The Shawshank Redemption today, and it was just absolutely beautiful. It's like every single line had purpose, every scene had a meaning. Incredibly touching story. And then Lost, which basically was just a series of red herrings and meaningless plot twists just for the sake of twisting the plot. It was absolutely fabulous at keeping you wanting more, but it was an absolute abortion of a story.
LSU wasn't as hard because I didn't expect much. I got a bit excited when we jumped to an early lead, but it sucked after that. I wasn't terribly surprised. I suppose it was like my opinion of the last 3 episodes, after I realized the show was a big turd waiting to get flushed down. But I had a glimmer of hope that maybe something good would come out of it. The start of the finale was just like putting 10 points on the board. Then I realized Todd Boeckman was the QB and the writers were the same crap ones as before.
Florida was a huge kick in the balls because I expected so much domination, and even started out so good. I actually got sick the day of the Florida game and was actually incredibly ill by the second half. I ended up leaving the bar then, got home and had a 103 fever. Missed about a week of work, everyone thought I was just depressed about the game or something. That team had kicked so much ass and been so dominant, it was much like the early seasons of Lost. It seemed that everything was being set up for a reason. My father passed away a few days before the start of that season. My last conversation with him was about getting tickets to the Texas game for him. I had the huge buildup of having them pull off one of the greatest seasons ever. The showdown with an undefeated Michigan team looked like it was a season of destiny. Of course, it all turned to crap real fast, much like Lost. If that season had been 6 years long, I suppose it would be similar to Lost. At least with the football game I was too sick to even watch it all. I wish I had gotten food poisoning every Tuesday night this year.
