Despair. [dih-spair]. n. 1. Loss of hope; hopelessness. 2. Starting conference play with two straight losses to a middling Vanderbilt team and a mediocre Georgia team.
Being in despair sometimes means realizing your place in the world and how different it is to where you want it to be. Kierkegaard would LOVE this Auburn basketball team. The despair of knowing what could be and isn’t, or the recognition of what is would have given the Danish philosopher and obvious Auburn fan enough material to write sheets of history-altering papers.
