It is what it is -despite all efforts to contend with it.

what nagging pang of sorrw. I have nothing to feel sorry for. It's football. If it happens to the Utes I wouldn't feel humiliated (after all, it is just a game).

The Utes head coach expressed sorrow for what happened. Yes it is just a game, a game that of a sport that is very important as entertainment to a good many people.

I think most people who are having a difficult time coming to grips with an onside kick in a blow out are those who think competition is bad thing because there is a winner and a loser.

Again, I don't condemn nor do I condone it. I do, however, think all reactions on all sides have been very entertaining.
