This is probably the best position to take. I've often thought about Clemson winning it all in 1981 and then retreating back into football obscurity for 35 years. I think the whole process just takes waaaay more time than we might think.

Life's too short to get all worked up over a bunch of kids playing a game. Do I love LSU and want us to succeed?? Yes. But am I going to let it consume me when we aren't doing well? No. I am going to go and tailgate and have a good time and enjoy myself. Win or lose, we do this for entertainment. This coming from a 32 year old alumni that used to live and die with every win or loss. Just realized that there are more important things in life.

I like to believe that most of us are rational people in our daily lives. That's why we come to a place like The Rant and act like unhinged lunatics; because we don't do that kind of stuff IRL.

Do losses piss me off? Yes. Does life go on? Yes. I still showed up for work on Monday. I think we all understand that there are more important things in life, like paying my mortgage or finding a cure for cancer. But just boiling everything down to "well its a bunch of kids, and in the grand scheme it really isn't that important" kind of takes something away from the experience.

Its kind of hard to have, what was once known as a passionate fan base, yet have these fans feel that their passion is no big deal. Because at the end of the day, really, what does it matter?
