I couldn’t turn on the tv, read a paper, listen to Sportsline, visit the message boards, anything if WVU lost. I was in a bad mood until they won again.Then, I got to the point where I had to start stepping back. Now losing still makes me feel sick inside, I can’t help it. But, I don’t let it control me anymore.I understand that teams with more resources are going to win most of the time, that the majority of teams are not playing on a level playing field and most have the deck stacked against them. Knowing that, I have learned to just appreciate the wins.That is how I can seamlessly switch from supporting Stew as our coach, to supporting Dana as our coach, to supporting Brown as our coach. Coaches are going to come and go. Enjoy the wins when you get them. Get over the losses when they happen. Move on and support the school, the program, the players and the coach.Life is too short to go looking for things to get upset over.</blockquote>
