1. Denial.
No! We didn't just lose that game. No way our offense just let that happen again. I must be dreaming or something. My phone alarm is gonna go off any second now.
2. Anger.
What kind of call was that? Are they mad? Fire the refs! Fire Sarl! Fire Pat Haden! Fire everyone!
3. Bargaining.
It's okay, the Pac-12 South is still up for grabs, and the conference champion has to get a playoff bid. We still have good pieces and everyone's healthy. All we have to do is win the rest of our games by 20 points. We'll make it to the playoffs for sure.
4. Depression.
We're never going to win a game ever again. Pass me the Fireball, Sark.
5. Acceptance.
Hey, at least we've never lost a tailgate.
