We as sports fans/writers can often become prisoners of the moment and fall victim to recency bias.
After seeing an event unfold, we’ll claim a play/game/moment/decision is the best or worst we’ve ever seen. Then, we realize an hour later our claim was an extreme exaggeration when provided with the proper context.
That said, knowing our tendency to exaggerate, 48 hours later, I can confidently say Mario Cristobal made one of the worst coaching decisions I have ever seen on Saturday. Not since the Miracle at the Meadowlands in 1978 and Baylor’s unexplainable gaffe of 1999 against UNLV have we seen such tomfoolery.
