it’s hard to believe that the Rebels would be sitting at 6-3 right now with 3 “coin flip/winnable” games left on the slate.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda .... happens to every team, every season in some capacity.
But we are talking two separate instances of where the odds of winning the game were probably greater than 98%... one as a 45 point favorite against a scrub... the other was a road game in conference, but one in which the wheels had to fall completely off with a 27 point lead. As we know, they did.
After those losses, a ton of reaction. And it was well founded. Because the difference is, right now, excitement would be SKY HIGH, home crowds would be much better, team psyche would be stronger, and we’d essentially already be in a bowl.
Usually, the lame what if game is based on pivotal events that are 50/50, 40/60 chance of occurring. Our “what if” game is based on events that should have occurred with absolute ease. Only UNLV.
I mean, can’t dwell on it too much, what’s done is done and can’t be changed, have to focus on what’s left.
But what if?
