Chin pretty much sums it up, well stated. I feel like I have changed dramatically but instead it's just the state of numbness this years team has put me in. Honestly it's not a bad thing it's a good thing. Besides some bad decisions, shots and of course calls b the AAC striped faithful I do not get all tensed up, palms sweating and on the edge of my recliner. Instead I am more of "of course they called that", "of course he took that shot" just waiting for the buzzer to go off with yet another one in the loss column that woulda, coulda been.
These games in the past during the JC days and honestly even early on during the KO days would've had me up well after the game, on the Boneyard trying to figure out how we lost, hoping we weren't going to go on any losing streak because we had a tough stretch of games coming up. My son was over last night and even at his age of 24 he has handled it well, although he was standing up from the 3 minute mark of regulation yelling at refs, players then high fisting me (settled back in the recliner lol) as went to the end of OT 2. Then I walked him out to his car gave him a hug told him I loved him, walked the pup then watched a couple of DVR'd shows.
Slept well, woke up a while ago and hardly a thought of the loss. back in the day I would've been ruined until the next game. With this team it is what it is right? Trending in the right direction, waiting for the next big player to enter our program to make a difference in who the Huskies are going to be next ear and beyond. I have faith that will happen, I have faith he is going to put us in position to be a national player again. But for now I watch this resilient group and I am proud of who they are, I accept what they do and the unfortunate pattern they have thrown our way.
It's still exciting on Gameday no doubt, but can't wait until my palms are sweating before and during the games again I will be honest.
