I can’t stand John L as much as any Razorback fan, but there was a story lost behind the “smile” comment. That week he had declared bankruptcy d/t bad real estate deals and actually attended his younger brothers funeral the same day as that press conference.

Yeah, for all the shite John L. got, it was hard not to feel a bit sorry for him. There was an edge of desperation in his interactions with the media. You could almost see him start to lose his grip as his last hope to get his finances in order again crumbled around him. I've never heard he was a terrible guy or anything, so I couldn't help feeling bad for him that year.
