South Carolina blew a fourth quarter lead Saturday night to lose a close game and I went home in a perfectly fine mood.
I'll readily admit it felt strange typing that sentence. For most of my life no matter what -- whether it be as an Auburn fan or South Carolina fan -- a loss would send me into a spiraling, stinky mood. Perhaps it's because I knew those teams I cheered for were supposed to win and anything less was going to disappoint me.
Whether we the fans keep their own personal expectations tempered or not — everyone has them.
