Depends on the opponent at this point.


During the 90s, the only game I ever worried about was the Florida game and every loss was absolutely devastating. Back in the day, I never wondered IF we would win, I wondered by how much.


Now, no matter who the opponent is, I'm confident that we could find a way to lose.

So during the fall, I've become a weekend alcoholic. Last year nearly killed me.

Rage or sulk for a few hours and then move on with my life other than arguing on the internet.

I’ve gotten pretty efficient at getting over a loss.

If I was already drinking I just keep drinking and play the "well if this would have happened" game for hours. If I was sober then I find something to drink and start the game previously mentioned.

i have to pretend that sports doesn't exist for a week.

i guess i'm too competitive because if i don't do this coping strategy, i might do something illegal or destroy something. we have family gatherings and they all want to talk about it. i try to walk away. my wife tells them don't talk to him about it. sports is dead to him.

After a couple of hours of digesting the game, and if it's a sec team, I come here and eat my crow. I actually feel better after that. Some losses just stick with me longer, especially that tOSU loss in the first playoffs. The only one that would hit me worse than that one, would be well, your school.
