There's a famous old book about, among other things, people getting crazy enough to spend $20000 on one tulip bulb.
Apparently everybody went shithouse-rat insane all together and wildly distorted values for a decade.
The book is over 250 years old but they need to add a chapter about the psychopathology in Oxford now.
Help me with this... is what we're seeing just a matter of human nature, just normal people being reluctant to believe the worst about their beloved alma mater?
Or are we verging on something darker and more like Jonestown in '78?
Maybe the joke's on me, and they're just pretending to be barking lunatics to get us to stare at them.
Right now Freeze is more Swaggart than Jim Jones, but this defies comprehension:
Ninety-five percent of that fan base seems to believe that:
-The NCAA camped out in Oxford for forty months
- Found nine metric tons of violations
- Got lied to and stonewalled
..and this will end up with Ole Miss getting a sticker for exemplary cooperation and losing a long snapper and a backup punter for two years.
Okay.. enough... I have become unmoored by this.
