The Great Eight & On Being an Underdog.

Listening to WTAQ this morning. Apparently Jerry Bader made a comment yesterday calling Terri McCormick the underdog in the GOP primary race for Wisconsin's Eighth district congressional race.

While I support Terri over Gard, I have to agree with that assessment. Though one of Jerry's listeners did not agree and wrote an e-mail not to him complaining in a very strong manner. The e-mailer accused him of calling the race yadda-yadda-yadda.

Well, sorry its true. However, recall who the underdogs where in Superbowl XXXII? Who won? To our regret it was the underdogs (aka The Denver Donkeys) in that one.

Don't get angry when you are labeled as an underdog, use to motivate your team, and yourself to greater effort. Being an underdog is surmountable but whining about it is not the way to win it.

Jerry handled it well and took some calls on the topic and Terri called in. Unfortunately, I did not pick up on Terri's call before it was almost done.
