Ever Heard This One Before?

Ryan Callahan of Knoxville's The Tennessean wrote post UT-UF (Full Article) :

To linebacker Jerod Mayo, it almost didn't feel like Tennessee lost.
"I still feel we were the better team," Mayo said. "We just didn't make the plays when we needed to."

Like Gary McCord suggests to amateur golfers when they hit a bad shot: Never Blame Yourself.
Blame it on invisible alien space rays, but don't beat yourself up over it.

To be fair, the UT player later creditied UF coaches and players for stepping up. But the "we were the better team" even though they lost is getting to be pretty humourous (and expected).
