Noticed on Rivals that a UNM poster started a thread more-or-less making fun of the investigation , etc, pointing out that, "all of the hype and excitement is starting to wane".
My take:
Wishful thinking.
Do you recall the scene from, "Perfect Storm" where after battling the hurricane for hours, the Andrea Gail breaks into a beautiful, sunny sky, the water peaceful. The entire crew is relieved, thinking they have made it through relatively unscathed. Sure, they lost the fish, but in the grand-scheme of things, they were going to be fine.
But in reality, they were just in the eye of the storm, soon to be swept up again, doomed by their decision to risk whatever it took to make the big catch.
That's Ole Miss.
