HANOVER -- The Optimist and The Pessimist have returned for their final engagement of the 2007 season.
The Optimist thinks Buddy Teevens’ third year at the helm was a qualified success. Not as many wins as anyone wanted, but that 3-8 record would have been 5-5 if the two overtimes had gone the other way.
The Pessimist agrees the record could have been 5-5 but he thinks it could just as easily have been another 2-8 if Penn receivers hadn’t dropped passes galore with the game on the line. And while he's at it, he thinks that Columbia win was a little too close as well. Ultimately, The Pessimist believes you are what you are -- if the record says 3-8, you are a 3-8 team.
The Optimist notes last year’s 3-4 in the Ivy League would have instead been a winning record if the Princeton overtime had gone the other way.
The Pessimist says: See above.
Realizing this is going to go in circles, The Realist pulls the plug on the other two before they start talking about next fall.
