      The game sucked on Saturday. I think we can all agree on that.

      Games like that are a reminder that, for me at least, football is a form of entertainment. I have a limited entertainment budget of time and money and that is how I choose to spend it. It was a game I looked forward to and was very disappointed by the outcome. It reminds me that it is entertainment and I can’t let the decisions of college athletes on the field ruin the rest of the weekend for me. It was a like a movie that you are excited to see and when you finally see it, it is a bad movie and you feel let down but life goes on. Games like the wins at USC the past couple of years are great movies that you always remember.

      There is still a lot of games left to play and I think we will look back on this game as a bad bump in the road onto a great season.

      Every time a hardcore Utah fan realizes this, an angel gets its wings.

        I have a tendency to get hyped up way over the top with Utah Football. Games like last Saturday, while a kick in the gut, helps me reset priorities.

        I realized this after the 2019 Pac 12 championship game 😂

      Agree.

      Games like Saturday, as unpleasant as they are, “reset” my mind on this, and remind me of two things: that it is just a game, and that I am sometimes way too emotionally attached.

        Do you mean I shouldn’t tie my sense of self-worth to the outcome of a football game?

        Processing….

      ya I get that, and I am not mad at anyone either. But when life gets busy and football pretty much become my only entertainment, this loss stinks. The past weekend felt very empty. I probably need a healthier life

      It is easy to get sucked into the hype and it is fun when the Utes win and sucks when they lose but a reminder like Saturday is can be good to have. Win or lose diapers will still have to changed the next day in my house.

      Oh come on, this is the price paid for wins. Changing diapers, going to work, cleaning the gutters is a hell of a lot more fun when we win. I’m sure I was not the only one who was happy about moving up after the Ole Miss loss and had my eye on Pedo St. Up until it went final.

      This is why losses hurt. Deal with it and quit trying to minimize it.

      Suppose we host a playoff game this December against say, Miami or some other sunbelt type team, when we lay waste to them and every one of us is damn near rioting in the streets, you can go tone it down and change your diapers and go to work.
