I hear you, but you are going to have to let that Iowa loss go at some point. Despite the disappointing loss, you have to appreciate it as a Final Four Season. Now, on to the next year with a brand new team that addresses the issue which I believe caused that loss that disappoints you so much. Last year's team was a powerhouse, but a powerhouse with a fatal flaw. The inability to shoot from distance consistently. As you saw last week, teams came out there with the same strategy as they always do to compete with us, pack the lane with a 3-2 or 2-3 zone. Notre Dame and Maryland did that and got pounded. We don't and endless supply of bigs like we have had for the past few years. However, we still have more playable bigs than any team outside of Stanford. Now, we add elite guard play to the mix. We finally have the balance that I have wishing for. That doesn't mean we cut the nets down in April, but I think we are more prepared to do so this time around.

There are coaches who are still haunted by monumental losses long after they have retired. Dick Sheridan professed such with respect to Furman's loss to Georgia Southern in the 1-AA national championship game played in Tacoma.

He said he never got over it and and never was able to watch video of it. But he still went on with his life and did some nice things at N.C. State.

Why should fans be any more or less haunted by irremediable and ultimate losses than other people? I know that "find some joy" is the mantra around here now but some losses preclude that. The Iowa loss was one of those, as far as I'm concerned.

That loss was historically tragic in that it robbed the best athletic team the university has yet fielded of the destiny they should have achieved. It also rehabilitated the Dime Store Queen at the expense of our outstanding coach's championship record. Horrible. Unspeakably grievous.

I agree it was terrible. I was furious and I don't even care that much about women's basketball.

There's only one thing that will erase that taste. If Sheridan had followed that difficult loss with a national championship at Furman, I doubt that game would have haunted him all those years. Do you think Nick Saban lies awake at night replaying that awful game in which Tyler Renfrow's TD reception ended Alabama's national championship dreams? No, because he went out and won another championship the next year. Dawn's task is to do just that here. Win it all again and the pain will go away.

Saban? Yes, I do. The great ones hate to lose and seethe over all failures. But that's because they are competitors. Competitors also want to get back on the horse because therein lies their only chance at redemption.

You lose a child. Your wife has other children afterwards but you don't ever get over the one you lost even while enjoying the ones you still have..
