Look for the highlight of the catch before the half. It was remarkable

You’re not wrong, but top tier college football is a professional sport now. So the only metric that matters for the playoff team selection process is maximizing television revenue. The playoffs are going to expand to at least 16. We’ll be lucky if it doesn’t expand beyond that. If you think it’s bad now, wait until private equity gets involved.

College sports used to be my passion but the money has just ruined it. Makes me sad.

I may be misreading some of your prior posts, but there also seems to be an unstated assumption that luck plays a bigger role when you're on defense than when you're on offense, and I don't understand why that's the case if it is what's being assumed.

It goes back to the simple truth of every out come being skill + luck = outcome.

Look at the odds of giving up points. Greater when on defense than on offense, right? The luck element of the outcome is higher than when on offense.

Choosing a path that creates more opportunity for the opponent (defense) is a flawed strategy. It can work out and people think it’s ok, but it was the wrong approach no matter the outcome.

To use the casino analogy a different way; Offense in football is like playing poker. If you have a skill advantage you want to play as many hands as possible. Your skill will win out. BUT in football you have to play defense and that is like having to stop playing poker and go over to play roulette. You can even be the house and get better odds if you have an elite defense but sooner or later, some stupid fucking tourist is going to hit on red 27 and you are going to have to pay.

You want to stay at the poker table as much as you can and stay away from the roulette table in the process.

WHAT A BLAST!
Sat in the second row, right in front of Jesse's parents. Jesse's dad led OH-IO several times.

So all the cheating, the federal privacy crimes by a coach, Bo ignoring sexual assaults, the Fab Five, the hockey program’s shenanigans, and the myriad of additional off-field issues were all totally fine. But THIS is the last straw? You have no moral compass, you ignorants sluts, so stop pretending like you do. Your university is a fucking joke, same as it ever was. Nothing has changed.

This is the way.

This is the exact "logic" a bad gambler falls into and starts making more bets when he's losing. "I just need more opportunities to overcome bad luck"

There is no way to equivocate on this, if you are having execution problems, doing it on volume is not a good idea.

I think that the unaccounted for variable here is that both the offense and the defense have to execute. If you go uptempo, you may increase the odds of defensive execution errors (e.g. flat out coverage busts), that let you score with fewer plays, and thereby fewer opportunities for poor offensive execution. If you think that your offense has more execution issues than your defense, then trying to score with fewer plays by forcing defensive execution errors and trusting your defense to execute even when the opposing offense gets more opportunities may be the way to go. I may be misreading some of your prior posts, but there also seems to be an unstated assumption that luck plays a bigger role when you're on defense than when you're on offense, and I don't understand why that's the case if it is what's being assumed.

While ultimately execution is more important than tempo, against a team like Indiana that's heady and versatile but likely doesn't have great depth of talent, going faster to eliminate creative substitutions and try to force defensive execution errors, which may also become more likely with fatigue, may have been a solid value proposition.

Love y’all psychopaths. Best to you and your families. If you’re going through something hard keep fighting and win.

This forum is a lifeline for me and I appreciate all of you very much. Getting into mid-30s has taught me to make sure you tell people what they mean to you no matter the degree of involvement or impact.

I fucking love talking about this program, team, the games and everything else with you.
