I got one word for you people: Vindication. Since it’s got more than two syllables, I’ll go through the bother of defining it for certain Bulldog fans.

On January 7th, 2008, the Tigers seized their opportunity to assert, maintain, and defend against their opposition. The prize for their resilience, another $30,000 Waterford crystal football to add to their trophy case…not to mention an undeniably priceless treasure: vindication.
