re: I'm oddly not as bothered by the loss as I usually am

I am with you. My wife and Dad were pretty mad, but I just went with it. This season has been above expectations so far and in my mind we are ahead of where we all thought we would be.

We win at least 1 out of the next 3 SEC games and that puts better than the previous 2 years and a winning record in conference play. We have an outstanding chance to win 2 more and might even get them all.

Losing to LSU was not the end of the world, the way we lost was a huge bummer.

This season is far from a WAOM season.
