The Realists & McCoy

When Kliff Kinsbury left USC for the NFL, some hopeful fans started wondering & commenting about the possiblity of Bru McCoy changing his mind & coming to Texas.

Commenters expressing these hopes on this site were dismissed & even ridiculed. They were characterized as delusional, naive, distracted, or pathetic. The Realists knew this was a done deal. Turns out the Delusionals were right. And the Realists were dead wrong. I was among the dead wrong crowd.

Just wanted to remind everyone that common sense is upended all the time. And "fan" is short for fanatic. Sometimes the Delusionals are still cheering a lost cause when the Realists are grumpily descending the exit ramps.
