Message: [QUOTE="TOL22, post: 228251, member: 253"] As mentioned elsewhere, speaking for myself only, I think this is like the five stages of grief. (Nunes version combined with Kubler-Ross). - No freaking way! This must be a sick joke! I cannot believe all the that has happened to the program this year! - I'm SO pissed off at that stupid kid! A mistake (on many parts) of colossal proportions! How could he be so selfish? Doesn't he grasp the opportunity? - Certainly there's something that can be done before Boston / New Orleans? - That poor kid; his great season will be remembered by the fact that he screwed up the entire post-season. Say what you will, but talking to my husband last night that's exactly what I said (well, among many other things re this situation). Maybe it's the mother in me that feels sympathy for the huge potential for kids of that age to make major mistakes, but from everything I know, this was a sudden event that landed in JB's lap. One minute Fab's on the way to a possible National Championship, and the next he's staying home, feeling like an a$$hole for letting his team down (especially the seniors). - Also, poor me. One minute I'm making ticket and travel plans and arranging sitters, and the next I've got my finger on the cancel button. This whole season was special, and now it's not likely to be quite as special. I don't even care about my brackets, I just wanted that ride. - Well, that happened. If you're gonna jump off the bandwagon, be my guest. Nothing to do but see how it plays out. A word about perspective: In early 2005 I went through the darkest period of my life. And yes, the basketball season was a diversion. I was upset that I was unable to go to the BET, nor Vermont, but was thrilled with the Big East title, and looking forward to a watching a great tourney as a 4 seed. When they lost to Vermont, I cried like a small child. Seriously, inconsolable. But again, it happened and there was nothing more to do but move on, albeit without my diversion. It'll be fine. All we can do is our best. [/QUOTE]
