It can't feel good to lose, especially in front of an empty arena. But it takes a certain amount of hubris—beyond the amount we're comfortable with, at least—to celebrate a shot before it goes in, especially if that shot wouldn't even win you the game. Then it doesn't go in, and all the sympathy ...

"OMG! He's Got A Gun!" The UMass Post-Super Bowl Riot, As Commentated By Two Very Sheltered Young Ladies
We're not sure what's the best part of this video: the UMass students rioting because the Patriots lost, or the two women commentating on the action.
