Meta - Let us commiserate.

If you can't take it that some of us would like to vent about a close game that we could've/should've won, please don't be patronizing about it; go stew by yourself, so we can enjoy our public grief and mutual mourning. That's all.

Just stick to one of the 50 MGoBoard threads already created for this purpose. Funny thing though......this game really meant nothing in the grand scheme of things. It's becoming obvious that MGoBloggers are beginning to enjoy this whole "meltdown" act a little too much.

He was in a crowd shot right before OSU inbounded. Don't get me wrong, I love the guy to death, however he never beat Ohio state. Just seemed like a bad omen....

I'm glad that even though we're all about ready to kill each other, we can agree to love Mike Hart. That kid bleeds blue - there are plenty of other people to attack today, like our coach who nearly took out a potential #1 overall seed in the NCAA tournament until a one-in-thirty shot went down. He's the worst. /seriously though, no attaching Hart to this disaster

I love Mike Hart to death, as I stated in the comment. I also just signed up a week ago and this is my 3rd overall commment on anything, so no, this is not the 2nd or 3rd time I've brought this up. Thanks for being a fucking douchebag though. And this piece of shit, what you referred to me as, attended Ohio state and I wore a Michigan shirt every fucking saturday on campus!!! My text inbox is full of 50 messages right now with my friends to give me shit, and I'm not about to take it from a god damned fellow Michigan fan on top of it, So get off my ass!

Hey man, 1. Take a 'timeout.' Although it may seem cliche, counting to 10 before reacting really can defuse your temper. 2. Get some space. Take a break from the person you're angry with until your frustrations subside a bit. 3.Once you're calm, express your anger. It's healthy to express your frustration in a nonconfrontational way. Stewing about it can make the situation worse. 4. Get some exercise. Physical activity can provide an outlet for your emotions, especially if you're about to erupt. Go for a brisk walk or a run, swim, lift weights or shoot baskets. 5. Think carefully before you say anything. Otherwise, you're likely to say something you'll regret. It can be helpful to write down what you want to say so that you can stick to the issues. When you're angry, it's easy to get sidetracked. 6. Identify solutions to the situation. Instead of focusing on what made you mad, work with the person who angered you to resolve the issue at hand. 7. Use 'I' statements when describing the problem. This will help you to avoid criticizing or placing blame, which can make the other person angry or resentful — and increase tension. For instance, say, "I'm upset you didn't help with the housework this evening," instead of, "You should have helped with the housework." 8. Don't hold a grudge. If you can forgive the other person, it will help you both. It's unrealistic to expect everyone to behave exactly as you want. 9. Use humor to release tensions. Lightening up can help diffuse tension. Don't use sarcasm, though — it's can hurt feelings and make things worse. 10. Practice relaxation skills. Learning skills to relax and de-stress can also help control your temper when it may flare up. Practice deep-breathing exercises, visualize a relaxing scene, or repeat a calming word or phrase to yourself, such as "Take it easy." Other proven ways to ease anger include listening to music, writing in a journal and doing yoga.
