Did anyone else laugh when Memphis jumped out to another 3 score lead (21 pts) in the first half...knowing full well how the game will end? I heard Norvell spends more time in a hair salon each week vs the time he uses to plan 2nd half adjustments at halftime.

Dude cares more about his hair vs what happens in actual games. If I were a Tiger fan, I would be ticked off at that.

Wow. That was so needed. Thanks. I have now changed my outlook on everything regarding Tiger Football. Just because of your post.

Now go EABOD.

Alternate response:

You seem to be noticing our coach's appearance an awful lot. Maybe you should go into analysis...?

That guy is a complete clown. I believe he is the only poster on this board that I have on ignore.

This still hurts me but looking forward to a better season next year.

Thanks...figured I would help change your negative outlook to a positive one.

Cycles exist in every walk of life. Be it Financial Markets, Human Life, the Weather, Sports Teams, even Planetary Cycles.

You can either time Cycle peaks and valleys, or average within them. Cycles will never go away.

That's mighty Austrian of you.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is the only Austrian that's influenced me to my knowledge. He never got into cycling Anabolics in his books though, lol.

I mean the Austrian business cycle theory

Ah, gotcha', lol. I know you work out, so I assumed you were referencing Bodybuilding's "Austrian Oak" himself, lol. It's a sport of repetitive cycles between off-season mass gains and pre-competition fat burning around competition dates, lol.

I don't see an advantage going for 2 points. If anything I see a potential big disadvantage. If you need your FG kicker later on, it's better to kick the extra point to give him some reps and confidence. Instead he received neither and missed the kick. Again, I didn't see the kick so perhaps I missing something on the kick (bad snap, bad hold, etc. ?).

Can someone clarify the kicking situation? Thanks!

Someone in our group argued that it would make the extra point more pressure-packed if (when) WF scored again. I think that's a load of crap, and think it was a "who cares let's see what happens" decision.

It may have been insurance, just in case they (Wake Forest) scored. They would had felt compelled to go for a 2-Point Conversion if we had just kicked the extra point (i.e., to make the score hypothetically: MEM 35 & WF 38).

What I'm trying to say is that we would have been in position to win the game with a field goal whether they kicked the extra point (i.e., MEM 36 vs WF 37) or made the 2-Point Conversion (i.e., MEM 36 vs. WF 38). With a made field goal, the FINAL SCORE WOULD HAVE BEEN: MEM 39 vs WF 37/38 ...

it's a classic case of a young coach overthinking the situation...kick the damn PAT and defend a Wake 2 point conversion if and when it comes to that.

moreover, getting a false start when you're trying to kick a huge FG falls on the coaching staff.

No it doesn't. That's reaching. It falls on the player, or possibly the center.

Lol, no I've never been a creeper. Dude, that's a deep cut. I was that fellow Libertarian-guy. You've previously posted frustration about your chicken legs, despite your training, in conversations between myself and 450bench while we were discussing training and Bodybuilding.

It's possible I'm confusing it with our private board convos, but the same point nevertheless, I assumed you knew what I was referencing based about my public username based on our previous convos.

having a disciplined team that doesn't rack up penalties, esp in late game situations, falls on your coaches IMHO. Memphis has had issues with penalties going back several years now. It's an issue that needs to be addressed.

saying a young coach overthought a situation isn't 'gruff' to me. Riley Patterson should have been kicking a game winning FG, and it should have been 5 yards closer...that's just MHO
