It's not like I'll lose my job, a limb or a life. Why get that worked up over something you absolutely zero control over

Almost 60 months deployed in multiple combat zones in a variety of combat roles between conventional and special operations forces, I'd argue anxiety is a sliding scale between life/death, mission completion/failure and any anticipation of wins/losses of your favorite team.

Its not either/or, but thanks for the semantics lesson and perspective.

In my experience, the very things you care about and have the LEAST control over actually cause the most anxiety.

Either way, the sun will rise and its just a game. But, can't say I wouldn't be disappointed if Bama comes up short.
