After the loss to Utah in 2012

When we missed the field goal from 36 yards out after fans rushed the field twice, I went for a run. I was so frustrated that I kept running. That game started at 7:15 in California, so it was late when I started running. A few hours later, I'd run 20 miles and it was like 2:00 AM. I've never felt that dejected after a football game.

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

Absolutely. Just looking for a short-term solution while that develops.

That was step 1 for me also.

depends on the situation... but the older I get the easier it is

On big games I put money on the opponent.

Wonderful suggestion!

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

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

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

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

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.
