Perfection Realized
The Butte College football team is 11-0 now. The Tennessee Titans haven’t lost yet, either. The New England Patriots got through a regular season unblemished last year; the Miami Dolphins were never bested in ‘72.
In one blogger’s opinion, none of ‘em have anything on Scott Bauhs’ 2008.
It’s one thing to have a season with no losses in sports, especially ones with crowded fields (races, golf, etc). It’s quite another entirely to have nothing but wins; in cross country, it’s just ridiculous.
But that’s just what Bauhs has done after blowing away everybody and their mothers at the NCAA Division II Championship to cap off a first-place-themed 2008. Every time he’s been a part of a race, he’s crossed the finish line first. Results-wise, the kid is living perfection.
There are rules they teach in journalism classes that say “nothing is ‘perfect,’” but Bauhs apparently lives outside those rules. I can only think of one other thing that’s even close to perfect:
And I bet Kate Beckinsale probably has morning breath sometimes.
A hell of a way to wrap up a hell of a year and career, and it will be somewhat sad to see what is probably Chico State’s best athlete ever move on. Looks like we’ll actually have to think about the Chico Sportsperson of the Year awards again.
