You can possibly apply that to an individual action or occurrence, but if OSU was the better prepared team in 1996, a slip would have never mattered. Football is like life. If you set goals in life, and execute daily on the steps required to achieve those goals, you’re going to live your best possible life. If you go through life aimlessly, you believe in the boogeyman of luck. :sneaky:

Shit goes wrong all the time in life no matter how prepared you are, but if you keep grinding you will make your way. Just don't give up and more and more opportunities will come your way

Right now we are down to a 1 and done situation. So there are no do overs left. Luck has cost a ton of the best teams in sports to not win the championship. I still like our odds of going back to back, but bad luck is still out there to fuck that up.

It’s a cute saying but random variance is random variance.

Springs Slips.

No way it’s smart to give the enemy more chances for that to happen. Play poker with your skill, avoid the roulette table as much as possible.

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.
