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

Nah, you are not the only one. I was trying to forget about this game and get some sleep afterward last night kept thinking about how bad a loss this was. Couldn't help it. My logic is that LSU sports are more than just watching a sporting event. It is the pride that LSU brings to our unique state and our culture. Bottom line is that the outcome of an LSU game on a big stage and on national TV matters so much to us because we love our state, our culture and our people and that is what LSU represents. We'll live to fight another day!
