A lot of times after a Louisville loss that has left me particularly discouraged, I’ll go back and watch the replay or a condensed version of the game a day or two later, and I’ll feel much better about the entire thing. I’ll realize that my ire was an over-the-top product of the heat of the moment, and I’ll be ready to move onto the next game with a properly cleansed fan palate.
This isn’t one of those games.
My second viewing of Louisville’s Saturday night loss did little to temper the soup of negative emotions I was swimming in both during the game and once the final score had been set in stone.
