What a magic elixir provided by winning!!! Let's all stay positive and boost our Wildcats to a great season.
I worry sometimes how much my overall mood is affected by whether we win or lose. The world shouldn't hinge so much on the outcome of these games, yet it does and I can't help it!
Hey... you come on the free board for in-game comments, then you get what you pay for.Yes, go back and reads some of your comments in those game threads. A real eye opener!
So you let something over which you have zero control dictate how you feel about the world. Once I felt the stupidity of that sink in I was well on my way to recovery.

(By the way, there are worse than me on there. I'm just so memorable.)
My coping mechanism is simpler: hookers and blow.What works for me: tape the games and watch them only after knowing the final score. If it's a win, just watch, don't look up the individual stats or scoring by quarters. Mute the announcers if they bother you. If it's a loss, fully brief yourself on what happened and watch to find any silver linings. Mute. I find this helpful in restraining both temper and inebriation. Alternatively, watch the game in person and surrounded by a crowd of NU fans - there exists in that setting a degree of conformity that moderates expressions resulting from extreme mood swings.
