I also get mad that I don't get to listen to the post game show, watch any highlights, and can't turn on sports radio since it'll all just be negative stuff for the next week.

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

That was step 1 for me also.

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

As your experience and perspective change so does your reaction......

I'm a big guy, so I usually turn to food for my frustrations.

It's just a game, man. I enjoy it when BYU wins, and I allow myself to be...

Touche. Never could decide what I really wanted other than BYU wins. Tuff road.

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

Pretty easy--moved from the Bay Area to San Diego. Pads never won my heart tho.

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

Crack jokes about the game. For some reason I like listening to the post game
