Or…. You can enjoy something and not let it control your emotions. I was at the game. I listen to TexAgs daily. I know who's on the team and where they're from.
And my wife and I had a blast at the game. In games like that, someone had to lose. And it was us this time.
I was also happy with what I saw from mostly everyone not playing QB last night.

This time?
Here's the problem. If we won most of these types of games, and we lost this time, your points are valid.
But we almost never win these games. We lose virtually every time they're played.
Jeez. Why do you watch if you can't emotionally handle the possibility of losing a close game to a top 10 team?
Growth is happening within the program. It will not be immediate. But if you can't see the growth in the team from last year to last night, you're not watching close enough

I've been waiting for this one. "Growth". Another vague and unquantifiable explanation (excuse).
And one we've heard a thousand times before. "Growth…"Culture"…"Bare Cupboard"…"Discipline"…"Development"…"Buy-in"….
Meanwhile, a dozen other programs have gone from national contender to garbage and back to national contender again in the 20+ YEARS that we've been wallowing in mediocrity.
I have every reason to believe that Nebraska will be in, then out, and then back in the Top Five before we crack the Top Ten.

I used to be the very in depth A&M football fan. I knew the whole 2 deep roster, watched all the show/podcast clips about A&M and our opponents, followed recruiting, the whole thing. But after my wife and I had our first baby a year ago, I took a step back from this constant source of disappointment known as A&M football and began looking at it differently. It's a game that I haven't played in 20 years being played by a bunch of 18-22 year old kids who have a passing relationship to my alma mater and the student body at best. Nothing I do will impact the game, and the end result of the game will only impact my mood if I let it.
So we made no progress on offense and lost a home opener? Meh, not terribly surprising. Frees up a lot of time on my Saturdays this fall.

I think the early to mid 1990's classes have had the hardest time accepting the reality of modern Aggie football. We thought it would last forever. I am also a recovering Aggie Battered Syndrome former student. I watch the games occasionally and go outside to cut the grass with scissors to kill some time or paint a post to watch it dry when it doesn't look good.
