It just doesn’t get to me anymore

I also do not get as upset as I once did, and it doesn’t last
as long. That said, what makes this one extra bad is the fact
that the opportunity we had this late in the season doesn’t come
around very often. I’m 78 and I may never see it again.

Yep. It is entertainment. And just like a bad show or a bad movie, if I do not like it, I’ll find something else to watch.

I saw it 7 minutes into the game in the played’ eyes. They were empty. No idea why with all to play for, but it was going to get ugly.

I changed my show and saw after it was over how ugly it got. Glad I saved myself that frustration.

I think two decades of crap has taken a lot out of me.

This X 1000. These opportunities do not come around often. We have to take them when they do.

I am really proud to see these comments here. There is so much more in life more important than emotionally suffering any sports game results. Especially in the world we live in today with so many things to be concerned about. I think in the back of our minds we want to celebrate a win to help with the stress of daily life, and when they lose it affects us even more negatively. It is sort of like a drug.

Last year I posted that at 71 I just wanted us to be competitive and did not base my enthusiasm or support on if they were national title contenders or not. I can now enjoy and celebrate a team like we now have, 8+ wins year and an exciting offense.
I Admit I would enjoy it more with a better defense…ha

Right there with you. I’m still excited. And that’s a good feeling. It sucks getting whipped by some goobers, but it’ll pass.
