Yep, big Cardinal losses often really hit me in the gut, but on this one there is an absence of the things that make it truly burn.

We played a super game in many ways, and viewers nationwide saw us making elite drives and stops in an elite game. Nobody with a brain would come out of that thinking that we were not all that.

We didn't lose to assholes or hated nemeses.

This loss didn't prevent us from getting into a bowl or knock is out of anything.

A maxim. You can lose a big game and, some hours later, remember that in the bigger picture, life is good. But if you lose THE Big Game, it may be appropriate to go postal.

Damn proud to be a Cardinal fan. What will our final national ranking be?
