What would you trade for a win?

Ok, it will probably end up being an insignificant--albeit ugly--wart on the face of what will probably be a wonderful season, but man, do I HATE to lose.

Figuring most of us here despise a loss to SC as much as we hate male pattern baldness, I was wondering what you would trade if it were possible to trade for a victory today.

Now I'm not talking about engaging in a I'll-see-you-fifty-and-raise-you fifty male macho contest of hyperbole to see who is the biggest fan; I am talking about what you would really swap for a different result in today's disaster.

If you have to buy the win, I guess that is OK, but it would be a lot more interesting (and maybe even funny) if we think of other, less conventional things to barter.

This came up because I was so excited about this weekend: I get Monday off, I have nothing pressing that I HAVE to do, and my Bruins are on TV!

Obviously my weekend is now completely ruined, so I was wondering what deal I could make with the basketball gods if things could be put right.

I decided that I would trade my highly anticipated 3-day weekend for a different result in today's game.

What would you sacrifice?

I'll accept this loss for...
a national championship in basketball and a bcs bowl in the next two years.

Or really a win in football of $C next year.

I think we're supposed trade something
personal for the loss, not accept the loss for another gain. Anyhow, I would give up my autographed metallica poster for a win, and possibly my 3 day weekend too.
