I remember driving to a park to shoot hoops when BYU was struggling in WAC

Championship game against WY in ‘96. Cotton Bowl on the line, top 10 ranking… I couldn’t take it so I turned the car radio on after about 20 min…they were coming back. Got home to watch the end. I was relieved but felt like I quit on them. Never again!

The most sure road to you not caring so much is endless losing. So be careful
