Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!
Bad start to my birthday....same for Ecompt. Happy B-Day ecompt!
If I wasn't poolside in 84 degree L.A weather I would drinking with more of scowl on my face.
Gave me a bad vibe on Packer game. Cannot handle another disappointing loss today.
I am surprisingly upbeat. This may have to do with the fact that I found out the result before watching my DVR'd second half.
The Nova loss in the BET, FSU in Orlando, and Wash in NCAA still out rank this one for nut kick games in recent memory.
Here's to beating Depaul by 40 on Tuesday.
Worst part is that the game was so early, ruining the entire day, not just the evening.
The sad part is that I think I'm recovering more quickly than the last soul crushing loss, which means I expect MU to find a way to lose these. Now the window is just bigger. 18 points with 5 to go is no longer a safe bet with the MU program.

Are you kidding? That makes all the difference!!
I've debated tivo'ing all the games, checking the final score and then watching them. That last 5 minutes was the most gutwrenching sports viewing I've done in years.
I turned on a Lifetime movie, not sure what it was, but I couldn't stand to have anything sports related on TV. Then I made a chicken pot pie for lunch. Not a frozen one, actually cooked it myself. The tedium of making it helped get my mind off the game. And I watched an episode of The Office, hoping that the humor would lighten my mood.
Of course, as soon as I log back on here, I realize none of it has actually helped.

It's nothing a thrashing of the Packers won't cure.

I don't follow the NFL much anymore, I've gone on strike because I hate Vick. Regardless, I really want the Pack to lose tonight. Because if they win, I'll hear about this loss all damn day at work tomorrow, and I mean all day because it's a 24-hour shift. But if the Packers lose, everyone else will be too put off by that to even remember that we crapped the bed earlier in the day.
Go Falcons.
Joining things late here-just got done watching on dvr. Was thinking with ND game and first 35 mins that this team is playing as well as any MU team in recent years. Then we take the damn air out of the ball and give them a chance. We didn't even need a big guy to pound it in, just spread the floor and get there like we did the rest of the game. Williams missing that point blank shot hurt, as did Buycks taking it in instead of getting a foul late. So pissed-cant even believe that happened. L'ville and their crowd were completely out of it and we let them up off the mat. No excuse.
wife was gone, almost threw the remote at the TV.....laid some fbombs, took my lumps on facebook from haters....I'm done now.....forgot about it....GO PACK!
I have not been coping well. Lots of screaming during the game as the unbelievable was unfolding. I was left alone in the family room watching. Too much noise on my part. I did not do well watching this game slip away. 3/4s of brilliant play by MU, and we go cold. No - not an easy one to take. If it ws a close game all the way we say we hung tought with another tough team. Blow an 18 point lead and lose - no, no excuse. None. Buzz is still learning in his third year.

Getting tickets to the DePaul game and celebrating my 38th birthday with a victory Tuesday followed by Real Chili.
Thankfully I scheduled a bar crawl for the same day...drinking, drinking and more drinking. Although everyone has been commentating

If you can't find what you are looking for on wanktube, you are one sick puppy.
I'm doing better now, since i just devoured a Pepi's pizza. That always seems to help.
My blackberry didn't survive the game though. Thankfully I was getting a new phone tomorrow so I had an excuse to throw it.
Picked up my guitar and played...just like yesterday...then I got on my knees and prayed....that we don't get fooled again (yeah, fat chance with this team).
Playing the guitar is truly cathartic. A thoroughly relaxing activity. Although, I would have pulled a Pete Townshend on it had it been handy at game's end.

Agree all around. Have been pissed all day. Will ruin a 3 day weekend and I also get nervous when we have a big lead. Am still haunted by Washington game last year. More of the same.
I was given a lesson in what really matters by my 3-year old son who was watching the game with me. I got so upset that he said "Daddy, you're scaring me."
Turned off the TV, played with my son and haven't thought about the game until now.

Yeah, it's amazing how cynical this team has made me. After the 7 point run in 20 some secs I kind of expected to lose, and we were up 11. That's pathetic.

I got the same feeling after that 7-point run that I got in Game 7 of the Cubs/Marlins NLCS. Cubs were up 5-3 in the game, but after losing Game 6 in heartbreaking fashion, I knew that despite the lead it felt like it would all come undone.
In 2003, I told my then-girlfriend "We're up, but we're the Cubs, we're going to lose." Today, I told my now-girlfriend "We can't lose when we were up 18 with under 6 to play, can we?" I hate that feeling.
Being a Twins fan, I've been broken in. In the first game (Game #1), 7th inning, the Yankees took the lead and I knew the 3 game series was over.
So MU games are par for the course. My wife and I often discuss the final minute or so, prefacing the conversation with "well, how do we blow it this time?"

Up 18 I turned to my wife and said "do you believe we're up 18 and cruising after destroying 11th ranked ND earlier this week?"
I should've known better.

I hear you. I did that once and now won't watch games with the kids. I DVR them and watch later. Also helps my blood pressure to know the score ahead of time, but if I know we lose it makes it too hard to go back and watch it.

An honest and open dialogue and the willingness to experiment is important in one's marriage :D
Not coping. feel like Buzz kicked me in the balls.
I am really pissed. There is no excuse for this meltdown, and we better not see another In Buzz I trust for a long time. There will be reminders about this fiasco, lest we forget.
I rewatched the end of the Stanford, Missouri, and Washington games and I now feel how bad it is to be an MU fan.

Watched my son's team up 15 at halftime and they extended it in the 4th period to win by 26...that helped. The coach never let them let up and continued to run the offense. This was a CYO coach mind you.
Did you criticize Coach K when he let the air out of the ball against Maryland last Sunday?

The game Duke won over Maryland 71-64?
Yes. That game. Point: you're not criticizing a strategy. You're criticizing whether a team wins or loses. Duke took a number of bad shots because they ran the clock down. UM was unable to capitalize, and they lost. It can't just be a bad strategy to run down the clock - even if it means to take a bad shot- if Duke did it in a much closer game. What did MU and Buzz do that was not smart? Aside from not winning? Why was it not smart, or unorthodox to take the air out of the ball? Aside from the fact that it did not work in this game. Why would you not say Coach K was not smart for sitting on the ball in that game, even though they won.

To answer your question, I did not watch that game. I'd be curious if they started to run their offense with 5 seconds left in the shot clock for multiple possessions in the game. Or, if coming out of a timeout, they put the ball into their least effective offensive threat (aka, our equivalent of JC) to take a wild shot with 2 seconds left on the shot clock...again, this coming out of a timeout.

Now you've gone and destroyed a perfectly good emotional and agenda driven argument with that pesky logic of yours.

No he didn't.
I knew something didn't smell right so let's actually use logic, or facts to take a look.
Marquette was up 18 points today. In that Duke vs Maryland game, the LARGEST lead the entire game was 7 points by Duke. How the heck are these two games even being compared.
I didn't watch the game, but one of my VP colleagues is a Duke graduate and I emailed him tonight about this so called "taking the air out of the ball" charge and he called it totally bunk. Duke was trailing by 6 points in the second half and went on a run of 14-2 to take a 46 to 40 lead in the first 7 minutes of the half. They then went into a 3 or 4 minute drought by missing several three pointers and several LAYUPS. No stall or taking the air out of the ball at all per this avid Dukie fan.
In fact, as evidence he noted that to get off their shooting drought, Coach K had his players driving and getting fouled. For several minutes most of their points came from the free throw line, which means they were ATTACKING the hoop.
He said the game was still a 2 possession game with about 5 minutes to play and it's absurd to suggest anyone was taking the air out of the ball only up 5 or 6 points.
I didn't see it, but that's the way an avid Duke fan saw it.

Curious....after reading your pro, objective MU posts....when MU played Louisville in 2005....aka the Francisco Garcia game...we were up 11 with 5 minutes to play....how do you think Crean handled that game?
