Post loss rituals

[Rudy89]

Anyone have any of these. Even with the Colts having their game today I dont feel like watching football after that loss so today is a day full of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 on my xbox and plenty of the office on dvd. Anyone else have any comforting things they do after devestating losses

I'm gonna put on whatever game is on the TV for background noise and do some therapeutic house cleaning and laundry. That will help make me forget about yesterday....... Oh yeah I'm gonna drink beer too. Lots of it.

I'm gonna work...then do something with my kids...try and get a little perspective...probably play some sad music and look at the old Bambi Avatar.

Just watch other games and change it when they talk about ND. Usually go out and have some beers. Unless it was just a heartbreaking loss (USC 2005) ill be ok in a couple hours.

I'm just trying to recover from my "post loss rituals" of last
night! If we had won, I'm positive I wouldn't have finished
that 18 pack and a brand new bottle of Jagermeister. A couple
hours and a couple of Ibuprofen, and I'm right back in the
game boys!!

I usually watch the games over on DVR but when ND loses bad like that I can't bare to watch.

Getting 2 big time commits usually helps ease the sting of a loss

I feel like crap for a few hours, drink a bit, play with my wife, then start getting pumped up for the Giants.

Man, you guys are really sophisticated with this stuff. I just kick the dog, and call it good!

I continue drinking. I do remember to eat – yogurt or a milk shake for dessert. Then I apparently stay up until 5 in the morning and, at some point, post something that brings down the wrath of NDinLA.

A loss is disappointing, but not fatal. Thin skins, a narrow point of view and an inflated sense of self are a different matter.
