After our 2019 playoff loss to Clemson I posted this as well. I found it cathartic to work through that loss with my fellow Bucks after the refs stole that win from us.

This loss is different, though. We were beaten soundly. We were dominated. I am still in denial. I know that these 5 stages of grief are fluid, and we can all go back and forth and even skip one or more. (I don't think any of us will get to acceptance any time soon as losing to ttun is never acceptable. I get it. This is the worst lost to me since the 1996 13-9 ttun loss--2003 I could handle since we won it all the year prior, and 2011 was with Fick as interim coach... we played hard and could have won.)

Where are you right now and why? And, if you feel up to it, do you share my optimism about winning it all next year? (Super Sophomores 2.0)
