4 months ago was the last time I had a chance to write for this thing.
2 losses ago.
1 disaster ago.
Moments like last Saturday make everything come to a screaching halt, my world included. I was bracing myself for a sea of pessimism from those who don't truly understand the definition of "losing-8-defensive-players-to-the-NFL, having-a-new-defensive-coordinator,having-a-new-offensive-coordinator,having-a-true-freshman-quarterback-and-enough-injuries-to-fill-hosiptal-wing-will-eventually-catch-up-to-you." We weren't coming into this year thinking we could win the national title, but when it became a slight possibility we forgot the odds. We through out the calculator. We put the money on the table. And then we remembered.
Even Trojans have rebuilding years.
But what we also remembered was this little thing called loyalty and a state of mind called optimism.
Fight.
On.
