Um ... I'm pretty sure I spelt the word I intended to spell.

only in your nightmares, Sparteye.
(say, the Spartans looked almost as hapless as the gofers against Illinois.)

*sigh* Yeah.
I'm afraid we've had several bridesmaid's seasons in a row, now.

I remember the Spartans are a sports team but I forget what the sport is (American football? basketball?), but what is a bridesmaid season? When the team is the runner up in the league or whatever it might be?

but I forget what the sport is
Spartans is the nickname for all the sports teams of the particular university. I'm sure Ann has one particular team in mind. As for the meaning of bridesmaid season I haven't the foggiest.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. A lament about never being in first place. Apparently this is something that the Spartans are very good at.

Yes, the reference to bridesmaid seasons pertained to the Spartan basketball team's habit of generally finishing one game out of first place in the conference race for the past three years. Which is pretty good by most standards, but since MSU had finished in first place the prior four years, it's been a bit frustrating. Now ask tsuwm how the Gophers have done since 1998.
