Oh my word…what’s the term?

Wife was trying to convince me to look at the positives from the loss. I told her I was way past the days of simply being pleased with playing well in a loss and then I couldn’t be satisfied anymore with _________________.

Totally blanked on the phrase and I can’t think of it to save my life.

What do you call it? You know what I’m talking about. When you’re happy that your team played well in a losing effort? Instead of just being upset about the loss?

I’m getting old.

Moral victories?

Moral victories?

Yes, thank you! Now I can sleep!!!

No worries, being a fan this long it's a term I use on the regular, lol.

My wife told me it was only a football game, get over it you got a family to take care of.

Your wife is correct.

Man, my brain was fried or something on Sunday night. I'm not old enough to be having senior moments.

I hope.

Mine said the same thing! She told me to snap out of my foul mood and “grow up.” Ouch!

Thankfully, with a 7, 5 and 3 year old in the house, I had no choice but to flush it and move on. That's not to say I have replayed it a zillion times in my head.

It must be contagious. Me, and both of my son's could not get over it. I could not get past it over the weekend, and then I was doing well yesterday until co-workers started asking me about the game. I think I am now at the point of acceptance. Accepting that there is not a damn thing we can do to change the cheating ref's actions.

Indeed on what happens next. If we win by only 4 against The next opponent and don’t match up with other top programs the rest of the year than we are another Vanderbilt. If we win 3 or 4 that we shouldn’t and 3 we should then wife is correct.

I often lament that deer/elk season runs concurrent with football season, but the truth is, I'm better off for it. As Gamecock fans, we have to have a recreational outlet from the frustrations of our other recreational outlet.

I forget names. I mean people I'm supposed to be able to remember. I'm 54, but it's not a recent development.

I don't work anymore, but when I did, not getting over it didn't prevent me from bringing home a paycheck. Working and brooding at the same time isn't that hard.
