Being an LSU fan, I've got to say that it depends on the type of loss.
1. Run of the mill loss against a team that is comparable to you. You play poorly. Punches wall can or take a walk fan.
2. Hard fought and close loss against a superior team that got some luck. You play great. See loss to Bama 11/3 in tiger stadium and mcaron's miracle combo fatality drive. Fan that maintains perspective, gets over it soon enough.
3. Blowout upset loss to an unranked or D2-D3 team. Wouldn't know, been too long to remember.
4. Catastrophic meltdown losses to due nonsensical coaching, clock mismanagement, refusal to use most productive yard-earners, etc. Losses that might not have happened, but you'll never know now. 1/9 put me into a sort of fugue state like the refusal to acknowledge fan. I walked around for the next year mostly in a drunk dissociative state to avoid thinking about it. Even when we beat the cocks in an awesome tiger stadium victory, I still thought of 1/9. I then told myself that if we beat Clemson in my last game of all time since 2006 as a student, I would let 1/9 go. Needless to say, I walked back to my hotel silently, skipped New Year's Eve, drank bourbon until I couldn't feel anything, and drove back from ATL in silence the next day. I'm still in denial about 1/9 and the Clemson loss and I won't talk about it with people. I honestly don't think I'll come out of this daze until we beat Bama again. So I'm going to go with psychological coma fan.
