We are not going away, folks

Chappy--
Thank you so very, very much for all you do. Let's all stay in touch and be healthy!

I will go radio silent for a while... Doggy rides me hard for nightly stats and I need to let the whip marks heal... 

There's a reason "fan" is an derivation of "fanatic". So many of us take these games too much to heart - it's a game, played by students, most of whom (especially this year) are too young to buy a beer or rent a car.
I really enjoy watching them, I love their level of play, I love to see each player evolve and improve - but, I deserve none of the credit for their success, and do not begrudge them their failures, few as they are.
And, y'know, there's another team out there, and sometimes, that team is just better, particularly on any given night. Sometimes, our kids - yeah, they're kids, I worked for 15 years of college/university campuses - sometimes, our kids make mistakes, get flustered, just aren't sharp, or are too wound up.
Nobody is owed a victory, certainly not the self-anointed experts. All we are owed is that "good ol' college try".  We got that. 
When a kids' character is questioned, effort, "toughness" - that's all bullshit, self-serving superiority. We aren't out there on the big stage. We aren't going nose-to-nose against another team of gifted, motivated players who want to win just as badly. We aren't on national television, with our actions being second-guessed by commentators. We don't have the responsibility of living up to our teammate's needs and expectations.

All we gotta do is sit back and watch, and hope for the best, and be as supportive as we can, remotely.
