The only wow factor this particular cup game had for me is "wow, I don't think I can handle what just happened." I don't want to go on and on about things, and be a big complainer, but it's 10 hours later and I still feel absolutely horrible.
I keep going over the game in my mind, thinking about what went wrong, and how I could have prevented things if I had done this, or that. The thing is, though, I really don't think that I actually needed to have created more of a safety buffer for this particular game. I strongly believe that what I used should have produced a win tonight, given the actual conditions out on the court. I also know though that I didn't take the game seriously enough, and looked past it, because I was expecting Sony Rox Ur Sox to TIE and use a game shape oriented lineup (which is indeed what he was planning to do, as it turns out, as the lineup used was apparently an accident). If I had been just slightly more careful, I could have avoided what happened, and the loss is ultimately my fault. It's my fault.
Anyway, I need to step back from everything, and not just because of this one particular loss. I've had 3 games this season where I completely flipped out over what happened, and I don't want to be that guy. I'm sure I'll feel better in a few days, and I have no plans to quit before the end of this season, but after I play out the string....well, we'll see.
Good luck to everyone that's still in the cup, and have fun out there! :)
