The winnings help take the pain off. And if we win... well I don't care about losing the money.

Please don't take this as a dig, but I think it's maturity and perspective.

I have started using denial - this has been a fantastic coping mechanism

The losses sting a lot less year after year. You have to expect that Bronco will

Sometimes go cold turkey for a few days, stay off stuff & get work done

I don't even care anymore. I expect the Cougars to lose games it shouldn't.

I used to be that way. Now I just hang my head and my wife tries to cheer me up

Serious issue here... my dad would have been addicted to CB if Al Gore had

Become a little more apathetic about BYU football. Fooled me once, shame

Treadmill and some anger music. Then avoid CB, ESPN and Facebutt for a few days.
