Where did he say anything about being happy? If Louisville can play as bad as they did in the 1st half and still be up 17 points...there's room to grow.
A swing and a miss....
I didn't actually see the game, so I'm not sure how much time was on the clock when he made this move. But, IMO, I say take the points when you can get them. Like you said, you never know what could have happened. Blocked FG, missed FG...etc.

Bengal's wide receiver Chad Ochocinco says he has teamed up with Motorola to buy the remaining tickets to Sunday's game at home against the Houston Texans, making it a sellout and lifting the blackout. The team's website has not yet updated to reflect the official decision and the Bengals have not released a statement confirming Ochocinco's statement.
But at 1:05 p.m. on his Twitter feed, Chad posted a tweet, saying "Attention: On behalf of Motorola and Esteban Ocho Cinco we've purchased the remaining tickets for Sundays game= no blackout."
