I totally missed the drama this morning so not sure why everyone is mad at each other. I hope this helps if anyone needs to hear it. Thread 
I used to get very very upset after UConn lost. I am talking lock myself in a room and don't talk to me. People would avoid me for the rest of the day. I used it as an excuse to not be a nice person and not do the stuff I needed to do to be a functioning adult.
February and March were particularly bad. After a loss I would be in a bad mood for days. I let it ruin weeks and months of my life.
Eventually my wife who is much smarter than I am asked me if this was a trait I wanted to pass on to our future children. Clearly it was not. Sports should be fun not destructive. Sports should bring us together not tear us apart. I try to be much more level headed these days
Losing is not the end of the world. Sports are awesome when you are winning, but when you are losing you need to keep perspective. Yes there are more important things in life than sports, and this is coming from someone who has built a persona round it.
I still get frustrated, but I also try to stop and think if what I am going to say or do is going to hurt someone else. I think if I would want my sons to see the way I am acting. Being critical is OK if it is constructive - but that is hard. It's easier to be mean on line.
So anyways if you needed to hear this I hope it helps. Rooting for UConn makes us part of a community. Let's try not to be destructive - that includes the students, the athletes, and the fans. Take a moment to think about what you are going to say and how others might take it
When times get tough lets be there for each other instead of fighting with each other.
Finally - Go Huskies! Lets kick Xavier's ass tomorrow.
