I can look back now objectively and rate the losses. At the time, though, I feel like these losses and whether they were good or bad correlated to my mindset and what I was doing in life. The mid-90s losses (I remember Miss St more than Florida) blew, but I was in college so there were so many distractions to take my mind off of it.

The losses that were the worst [I]at the time[/I] were the ones in the mid-2000s, mainly George Mason and Mich State (and the NC State game to a lesser degree), since I was aimless. getting over a bad relationship, and didn't have much going on.

Now being in my late 40s, the loss really stunk yesterday for about 10 minutes, and then I realized I had to pay my credit card, take the kids to a party, and clean the house, so I soon forgot about it.

And similarly with the wins. The 99 championship game is 1 or 2 on my all time happiest sports moments. And while the 11, 14, 23, and 24 titles were beyond awesome, the 2004 Duke game is so tattooed in my brain because it fell in the mid-2000s. I was beyond maniacal watching that game.
