The SMO: I guess we can start being sincerely optimistic again?

Obligatory reminder: The SMO is an emotional overreaction based on the game events the day before. It does not deal in logic or reason.

I’ll open by apologizing for the delay in publishing this column.

Usually when I publish an SMO column this late in the week, it’s because Texas football has disappointed me so greatly that I have no interest in sitting down to rehash it the following Sunday.

This is not one of those times.

On Saturday morning, we buried my grandmother, Nana, who passed away from pancreatic cancer in late June of this year.
