Most sports fans, no matter how rational they are, will get upset at their favorite teams, and if they don't, they weren't a real fan in the first place.

The study measured how long the average fan stayed upset after their team's loss, and came to conclusions from that. At the very top of the list lies West Virginia, whos fans average about 17 hours of post-game blues. Right after WV come Missouri and Montana, both averaging around 12 and a half hours before they're back to feeling normal.

Arizona falls under this category, with fans in the Grand Canyon state taking an average of 38 minutes after a loss to get back on their feet. It hasn't been a phenomenal decade for Arizona sports, but luckily that doesn't bother our fans one bit.
