The fifth stage is acceptance.

Honestly, this made me laugh out loud.

… As a result of NCAA sanctions announced last week that requires Alabama to vacate 21 of its 23 victories during the 2005-07 seasons, the Crimson Tide soon will be saddled with a 44-48 record for the 2000s. The university has until June 26 to decide whether it will appeal the ruling, which will change Alabama’s 10-2, 6-7 and 7-6 records to 0-2, 0-7 and 2-6.

“It’s still better than Vanderbilt,” said Roger Shultz, who played center for the Crimson Tide from 1987 to ’90.
