I feel kinda less of an EMAW because I really didn't feel terrible about this at all. I'm gonna go sit in the corner and think about it.
I'm very disappointed in the loss, but like you I don't necessarily feel
terrible about it. If the team can get their crap together and start playing some decent football in the conference season, then I could forgive this loss (thinking of 2003 Marshall). But if it is a season-long disaster like 2004, my anger level will indeed rise. I'm hoping this plays out like 2002 Colorado who had a very embarrassing season-opening loss to Colorado State in the first game coming off a Big 12 Championship the year before. But by the time conference play came around they were clicking on all cylinders and proceeded to go 7-1 and won the North. That is the hope I am clinging to at this point.....that the problems we encountered yesterday are correctable.
