THE MYSTIC'S METAPHYSICAL MIND

* Cinderella's Best Chance - The best chance for a Cinderella team to win the mythical National Championship is in the BCS system ,not in a play-off. Why ? A Cinderella has a small chance to win a one-shot game for it all.
There is no way Cinderella can knock off 3 in a row. Just look at basketball. The last time the winner was not from a major conference was 1990. UNLV played the part of Cinderella with Tark as Godmother. Cinderella has left the building . Don't look for a return soon.

* Whose team is Mo playing on ? - Coaches & commentators speak of momentum like it is a force or a person. Momentum is a perception or a feeling .
Say the score at half is 21 - 14 . Who has momentum ? If the other team scored 14 at the start then your team rang up 21 you have MO going into the break. You put 21 on the board then the other guys popped back for 14 & head to the locker room feeling they have MO & can not be stopped .
The score is 21 - 14. Momentum is how you feel about it.
You are shootin 60% for the night but you have missed your last four . How do you feel about the next shot ? That is Momentum .

* Happiness is determined by expectation more than reality.
Ole Miss & Tennessee both have an 8 - 4 season in football. The Tennessee fans are as tickled as a man sitting on a feather duster. The Ole Miss fans are as happy as a Muslim at a pork chop dinner. Both teams are 8 - 4.
Why the difference ? The Rebs expected to win 10 or more & go to the SEC championship. The Vols were just looking to break even . Same record but different level of happiness.

LIKE THEY SAY IN MEDINA " IT'S NOT BAD IF YOU AIN'T USED TO MUCH !
