At least for the month of January, I am implementing a new anger management technique that worked really well last night for this team at this current state in the season. Once the Cats get down double digits on the road Im turning the game off and watching something else (last night my wife and i started watching Making a Murderer....fascinating stuff). I will check in periodically to see if anything has really changed and warrants to flip back over. We actually flipped over once when we cut it 4 in the 2nd half, but immediately in less than a minute it was back up to 9 so we flipped it back to Netflix.
Needless to say, I avoided game rage and went to bed way more calm than if I had watched the 2nd half of the game. This team just does not have the ability right now to come all the way back from double digits on the road at this point and until they turn the corner (hopefully they will like 2011 and 2014) I'm saving myself the anger when they're down more than 10 on the road in any game. We all had that OSU/UCLA feeling at halftime so I saved myself from high blood pressure the rest of the way.
