One of the most valuable lessons of being a sportswriter for a # of years was realizing that in every sport, just about everyone's season ends with a loss. Really helped me mellow out over the years with my sports rage, which probably peaked with the early 90s Oilers.
The Astros recent stretch has been a gift that delivers again and again. Frustrated when we lose, but able to see good stuff in most games.
And I never once get mad about the Aggie football team anymore.
