I've never seen an ending like that in my life. I can't function

Two things that are helping me to cope right now: 1) in spite of this game I have more confidence in Michigan right now than at any time in the last few years, and 2) my 10-year-old is even more upset than I am so I can try to take the long view and remind him that a big part of being a fan is experiencing both the incredible highs and punishing lows. I also let him know that true fans stick with their team through even through this kind of loss.

Saying we may never experience great highs again, especially with Harbaugh on the sidelines is just stupid, man. Also, the loss was flukey and feels awful, but if you think Harbaugh and the team are just going to go into a shell now you are crazy. This loss will motivate Harbaugh for his entire tenure at UM. This will not define him.

Welp.   I was thinking Michigan was going to lose, held that opinion right up until the start of the 4th, and was happy that it looked like we had a win.  And then, well, that happened.

The bright side is that I'm now 99% certain that M will win the next 4, and we'll have a chance at Ohio.

Worst.

Ending.

Ever.

Combinatoin of epic brain fart by coaching staff and punter, plus Sparty playing for the full 60 minutes, plus no one getting back to get the runner.

I am done with sports for the next two weeks. Check in with everyone when I've had a chance to mentally recover from this and enjoy sports again, but it's going to be awhile.

Proud of the team, they played damned hard and are almost there. Next year those field goals will be touchdowns. I have great hopes for this year and the future, but I will never trust another punt snap for the rest of the year.

Losing that way, at that moment, is just absolutely painful and the rest of the night is sure to be long and empty for me emotionally. In the moment, it's difficult to think of the upside, but even in that game, you can see the bright future for this team in the ability to get the lead, outplay MSU in several respects, wade through the worst officiating of a game in years, and still be in a position to put it away before...well....anyway. 

I am pretty sure we rebound. Could be fun enough the rest of the way despite the current mood.

As for the current mood, I am glad the basement fridge is stocked with drinkables.

It's absolutely terrible. The offense absolutely sucks with the inability to ever hit the wide open deep passes. The referees absolutely were horrendous and now we have to think to next year. Peppers was the brightest thing I seen.

These last 10 years as a sports fan have just been horrendous. Multiple losses in title games/series and only the Red Wings have won a title. I keep trying to tell myself this will bring the team closer together but fuck, I just don't really see how it does.

Oh, and hopefully something even more amazing happens tonight, so we don't have to have this replayed quite as much. Or 10 amazing, once in a lifetime things.

Ow.  This hurts.  But reading through the posts helps.  If life has to suck, at least there's a community of people here who know what it feels like.  And can make alcohol recommendations.

All the guy had to do was fucking catch the goddamned ball and fucking kick it.  What the fuck!?  Then instead of falling on it, he literally knocks it into the worst possible place.  Another year of these insecure fucks talking shit to make up for the miserable existence they have.  Worst ever.
