This seems to be a common approach from our fans. Judging by the basketball game, our fans weren't able to stomach any type of K-State sports.

Can you blame them? Last night highlighted the inherent absurdity in putting any emotional weight on the actions of 18-22 year old athletes.

I'll still break this down. For sure _FANalysis this week, I'm not sure what I'd do for _FANframes though. I'll find something probably.

Not blaming them. Completely in the same boat. But like someone else mentioned, I like hanging out with people (you guys) who are feeling the way I do right now.

I'm leaving the board for good. Unless I feel like coming back. Then I'll keep posting.

I didn't watch a snap of football today and it felt like the right decision.

The person who once said "it is better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all" was a rough ridin' douche.

So you'd rather be Baylor, ISU, and KU?  Weird. I can firmly state that you stand alone here.

Doesn't really apply here. We didn't love and lose, we loved and now were settling.  It's like we were boning YLA and now we have to sleep with Fanning...

I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.

I was under the impression that sleeping with Fanning was the very definition of losing.

This is the first day in 4 weeks that I have not worn purple to work. It just hurt too much this morning when I was getting dressed. Just decided on black. Black everything. Everything is black. Even my skin is blacker than I think it used to be.

In short, it's not you goEMAW, it's me. I think we should take a break. I need to work on myself.

Yeah, I'm avoiding everything. I took the loss pretty hard. Not necessarily the loss, but how we lost. I was in a state or anger, shock, and bewilderment.

I know we lost and I don't need to hear anyone else tell me that. Also, thanks for the sunshine pumpers on the board. I know a fiesta and a big 12 title are amazing and still within our reach. I'll take that and run with it.
