Easier to watch knowing outcome

BA nailed it in Monday podcast - I didn't enjoy watching that game at all. I was in bad humor and was bad company. Nervous for 59.9 minutes. Just watched the highlights and it was so much better knowing the outcome - really allowed me to delight in our team's performance. One of the few games that is WAY better the second time around.

    Easier to watch knowing outcome

    As a mere freshman, you seem well ahead of the game. This avoidance of negative emotions and roller coaster emotions and hope vs despair is at the heart of my philosophy of recording games and only watching if we win - which is usually all of the time. Negative emotions send nasty chemicals through our body - not healthy. The more one wants the Dawgs to win, the greater the frustration/anger/despair one experiences.

    To quote some minor philosophers "Gloom, Despair, Agony on Me."

    It's right for me but I'm biased, I went to that Rose Bowl. I too went to that 2nd & 26 natty game and even tho we were on the heartbroken end of that game, I think it deserves a spot on that list too.

    It was a game for the ages no doubt but it doesn't quite surpass the 2017 Rosebowl... you never forget your first!

    I have to say, I disagree with this notion of not enjoying the game in the moment. Sure I was in knots the whole time, but it was extremely exciting! I was cheering like crazy with every big play we made... I cant say I didnt enjoy that because I loved it. Of course, I did think it was possible we were going to lose the game and was worried we might with every OSU score, but I also thought that going into the game. I never gave up hope that we would pull it out in the end, and sure enough...

    Go Dawgs!
