I promise there is way more important things in life than college football. If A&M wins or loses it shouldn't change you life at all.

BAS has been and always will be in control! Learn it and understand it.

Not even then. It 's probably some kind of documented mental illness.

I dunno that it changes my life in the bigger picture but it changes my mood for sure. I'm not
Pretending that it's rational, just saying what it is.

First hug your kids post if the day.

I mean who am I kidding, I've been emotionally uninvested in Jimbo football for the past three years. He just needs to go. This didn't work.

I think I am there. It's taken a few years, and it goes in and out a bit, but overall I don't care nearly as much as I used to.

100% this. Letting a bunch of coddled children you will never meet playing a game you have absolutely no affect over rule your emotions is pretty sad, tbh. Its a game played by other people who now have only the most basic association with an institution you hold dear. Let it go and just watch it for what it is, pure entertainment.

But why would it change you mood?

And A&M is a far cry from what we knew in many respects

I did this after the loss at USL in 1996. I realized as I was yelling on the post game show (I called in) that I needed some space from the program.

This cannot possibly be true.

I stopped caring after UCLA and I haven't stressed about Aggie football since.

College football as a whole is different. It is pro football light and I have no real interest in that. There will always be some kids who have wanted to play for school X for their whole lives and to them it means more, and that is absolutely awesome those guys get to to live their dream, but by amd large these are just semi pro games now at the level TAMU is supposed to be operating. Meh.

Because what I want to see happen so badly doesn't happen. I know it's all out of my control but I still want to see it . I'm pretty sure I'm far from alone. I'll be back to normal in a few hours but will not feel quite as much energy or joy until tomorrow. The first loss of the "fall" is generally the worst.

I know ya'lls advice is good advice. I just never have been able to follow thru with the detachment

Clearly there are many more important things in one's
Life and I haven't missed out on those significantly
Because of my interest in Aggie football . It's
Not that bad but still does change mood and I'll
Likely be right back to
Watching next week and every week thereafter unless of course something I find a better use of time presents itself which is more likely
Now.

I stopped caring after the UCLA disaster a few years ago. When I nearly busted my TV I stopped watching regularly and just haven't been emotionally invested since. At some point you have to realize when your program just sucks, and will always suck.
