Son, as I was telling Jada at the Carousel Club in Dallas drinking beer one night before the Texas-OU FB game, Threesomes are a waste of time as there is always one of ya having to wait for the action, Man, I miss the old days , all the fightin and hell raisin in Dallas the night before the game

OK, but with the points, I don't think he cares.

When you're behind, it makes logical sense to go for it, pull out all the stops, take extra risks, etc. Especially late or way behind.

Let's say you're driving to work or to some appointment, and you've got plenty of time... Do you drive like a video game player at that point? No.

Smh. What are you even arguing here? Lol. If your car breaks down every time you drive normal, then you better start driving faster, until you can fix the problem. How is this so hard to understand? Agree to disagree, or whatever.

You sound like a guy that has never had his balls licked while being ridden?

You do realize that even though those games got closer than everyone would like they still won and it is possible that a pick six or something might have made it worse and cost the game. The point is, even though the execution was not good it still was enough to get the win. No one can say that it was the wrong plan because no one knows how the other option would have turned out. What if he kept the pedal down and runs Sam (which is what made the offense move) and he gets injured for the rest of the season? Then people would really have something to pull their hair out over.

I agree that it isn't worth arguing over and isn't a big deal, I just had to get that in because it's a message board and I get tired of reading about the condition of everyone's colon and need something else to talk about.

That's a good point. The "run the clock strategy" is pretty execution proof. Meaning, even with poor execution it is effective enough to win the game. As Texas showed, even with really poor execution it worked. If your offense and defense don't both completely blow it (see OU which couldn't have gone much worse) it is very effective.

The alternative strategy could pay bigger dividends, like being more likely to score more points but it also gives the opponent a better chance to get back in the game quicker. Any aggressive passing play could turn into an interception, while you are also leaving the QB at risk of a sack fumble. If your team doesn't connect, you also could end up punting after running very little clock.

Read James Reston's ACCIDENTAL VICTIM. Oswald was shooting at Connally. Kennedy was just in the way.

Whether you're driving to work, playing cards, trying to have enough to retire, or trying to win the presidency, it makes sense to play it conservative when you've got it in the bag, and to play fast and loose when you're desperate.

Metcalf, shake your head all you want, but it's logical. In football or basketball, if you're ahead, you're more likely to rest your stars, especially those with injuries. Can that lead to blowouts becoming closer than desired?Sure. But it pays in the long run.
