Seriously you guys need some balance in your life. Life is not all good or all bad. Every moment can't be described as pure bliss or excruciating pain. There is a middle ground.
Just step back and look at what happened on the last hole after the first shot. We were all EVEN (emphasis on EVEN) and our first shot was in the rough, Arkansas's was on the fairway. Not exactly end of the world but you couldn't tell by some of the comments on the game thread: http://www.texags.com/main/forum.reply.asp?topic_id=1417591&page=50&forum_id=10. It was almost like there was a competition to see who could claim life sucks first. "This is what its like to be an A&M fan"...seriously?
Ironically these were the same ppl that were all doom and gloom at the end of the Michigan match. It is entertaining to watch so many play the role of the victim 1,000 miles away from the action but after a while it becomes depressing to watch. For some reason they choose to only remember the heart break: t.u. in '98, softball in 2008, Archery in '34, etc. The victim complex wouldn't allow it any other way.
We may not be the Yankees of college athletics but we're not exactly the Klumps. How soon many of you forget we won more Big 12 titles last season (8 I believe) than any other conference foe. Anyone who remembers the Wally Groff era can see the forest for the trees these days. We are immensely better in just about every sport sans volleyball and football.
I recommend taping a little message at the top of your laptop and reading it the next time our team is competing for a national championship (that we had little chance of winning 1 week prior), all tied up at the end of the game/match, and you have the sudden urge to jump off a cyber-ledge via TexAgs.
Said message should read: "Hey...Why don't you relax and see how this turns out? Maybe do something wild like type something positive. People love you."
