Give me the guy (Urban) who gets this and I'll live with the occasional missteps that come from it

The previous guy (Tress) was quite successful but did not, imo, get this and it was the fundamental source of my frustration

Sun Tzu wouldn't have cause to know Fabius Maximus (centuries later and across the world), but thankfully George Washington did or we'd be talking about a very different kind of football.
It comes full circle when you realize the current regime in Sun Tzu's homeland was established after a very very very long and protracted conflict conducted by Mao spanning decades.
Or our foibles dealing with similar adversaries in Vietnam and now Iraq who have cleverly prolonged the situation to their advantage.

Machiavelli is a better source since he correctly and exhaustively deals with all the issues met by invaders; instead of making a cliche that claims to apply to both sides and thus fails to stand.

JFC, there's no I in win, jerkbags. Emphasis on WIN!!!!!!! We won, dammit. As much as you perfectionists want to argue, we still are NATIONAL MOTHER F-ING CHAMPIONS. Suck on that egg, Noah.

SEC blows at football, by the way. When was the last time Alabama won a bowl game? 2013? Crap, we won 2 this year. Losers. And not only did THE Ohio State Buckeyes beat you, but you let the All Time Greatest Bowl Game chokers Oklahoma is OK beat you? DAAAAAAAMMMMN, you guys are awful. Hope you aren't overpaying some coach or something stupid like that.
