I had to take a little time away. That was one of the most devastating losses. Ever. If Pitt had lost on the put-back with 2.2 seconds left. It may have been a bit better. But, well, you know. That pushed me close to the edge.
Writing and putting so much of what I think online, has taught me to be more cautious about being online when my emotions are so overwhelming. I suppose having seen so many others do incredibly stupid things over the years when they reacted blindly has taught me something.
There’s also the fact that I hate self-pity. And anything I wrote in the aftermath would have been the, “Woe unto me and all Pitt fans. We suffer so. We’re cursed. Pitt will never win it all. Why do we/I put ourselves through this?” That whole vein of utter bullshit. I just needed to back away.
