WOW. Just WOW.

Thank you for that compassion. Although I have been as frustrated and disappointed as anyone by the last 2 1/2 years, ultimately my strongest feeling is sadness for the players, who certainly must take these types of losses/seasons far worse than I do. I woke up this morning, felt my heart aching, had to think for a few seconds, then remembered, "Crap! We lost that game." So, I've been feeling mopey all morning. But soon I'll get ready for work, and then I'll think about my upcoming trip to NC, and the summer, and my daughter's surprise 30th birthday party and I KNOW I absolutely must shift my thoughts to happier things. But I don't think it's that "easy" at all for the players and coaches, so how they recover is anyone's guess.

I haven't read many of the posts because that's my protective defense, but a friend of mine said that Cooney may not have been able to have a correct sense of seconds elapsing because the clock was on the floor. He shot too soon. Maybe others have pointed that out.

I also loved the OP's compassion. Anger and frustration can be very righteous, and that surely is one of the reasons we have a board: to vent in a safe place. Although we must keep it in bounds, which is why we have mods. What I love about this board is that we certainly have meltdowns, but then we pick ourselves up and get back to the business of being fans.

(Captain J, I've been enjoying your posts.)
