Delusional Optimism is Just Getting Started

There’s a famous anecdote about Herb Brooks and the 1980 US hockey team. The Miracle on Ice did not win the gold medal, the US still had a game against Finland which they had to win in order to win the gold. According to the story, he walked in the locker room before the game and simply said, “If you lose this game, you will take it to your graves.”

That is sort of where LSU is right now. Beating Auburn is great. Beating Auburn on a last second field goal is even better. Beating Auburn so that they cry about how the officiating in Jordan-Hare is unfair is almost too much.
