Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3353260, member: 591"] I think it depends on: - was it an upset? Not, do the home team fans think it was an upset, but was it really an upset? The more of an upset it was, the more unhappy I am. For example, I was not especially upset by the fact that RU lost to LSU, per se. BUT ALSO - how did the team play? Did they play well and the other team was just better, or, did they not play well? That was, for example, the more upsetting aspect of the LSU loss for Rutgers, as they did not play well late in the game. AND - what is the impact? For a different example, I will be really really upset if Arizona loses any of their remaining OOC "Little Sister" games - it is good for Arizona to be ranked (it is uncertain to last into the PAC season) and, apart from the above, it would have a very significant impact on Arizona being ranked. For UConn fans and the other elite programs - I can see being upset at almost any loss because it is almost always impactful and usually an upset (and often due to some shortcoming in the teams play that night, or at least fans think that). For the rest of us, no, I don't get ganerally get upset over individual losses, although the factors I list figure into it. [/QUOTE]
