re: Am I the only one who gets too emotionally invested?

No. You're not the only one. LSU sports was all I had growing up. I would get sick when they lost but always remained a Tiger Fan. Now, I've developed into this really sore loser & are reevaluating things. I only played sports at little league level but have followed LSU religiously throughout my life. After a loss like last night, I consider putting all my memorabilia in a box & just moving on. Next day I'm back on the wagon. Losing is not fun. Losing like they did last night was downright painful. Life goes on. "Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains"'...from the movie, Bull Durham.
