As a grown adult who has kids, a very steady and great job, and an overall busy life, I haven't cared or been 'devastated' by that type of loss since Palmer tore his ACL in '06 when I was in college. Still remember feeling depressed about that one for weeks. But I was still relatively immature in life and was just starting 'on my own' with not many responsibilities so sports still ruled my life.

Last year's loss brought me very close to that feeling I had back in '06. After going through the upset with X in '96, Miles Simon, Iowa State, Northern Arizona, Kenyon, etc, Nevada takes the cake. It was embarrassing to be a UC fan after giving up that type of lead. It was brutal. Mick just doesn't have the ability to calm team down.

I actually laughed after the Nevada game. Basically chuckled and though "UC screwed it up again."

I watch and root and cheer and hope for great things from UC athletics. I do not, however, expect them anymore.
