Steve Orsini watched from Arkansas State's press box as Central Florida, his former school, gave powerhouse Texas trouble on national television. It was Sept. 15, and a large, delighted crowd turned out to celebrate the opening of UCF's on-campus Bright House Networks Stadium, a project Orsini helped make happen.
But when the SMU athletic director turned from the TV to the field, the contrast couldn't have been more obvious.
His current school fell, 45-28, on a miserable night in Jonesboro, Ark. It was the start of the Mustangs' ongoing, eight-game losing streak and would lead to the end of Phil Bennett's tenure as coach.
One couldn't help but wonder what was going through Orsini's mind.
