JMU Post-Game Thoughts & Discussion

Think it has more to do with their attitude than their exact geography.

Yeah, it's closer to the WV border than DC

[steelbison]

it most definitely is wrong. There's not much more I can say beyond that. Google it and you'll find infinite examples talking about it.

If people choose to believe it's closer than it really is, that's cool, I'm glad you're not coaching! (unless you're coaching JMU)

Your actually wrong. Watch any game. Most coachs keep it to a one possession game. Happens all the time. Rarely in the spot do they go for two until they have to.

Keeps way more pressure on your opponent and keeps your team still fighting.

It's the same reason why, in OT, college teams that win the flip always want to defend first. Having absolute knowledge of what you need to win is infinitely more valuable.

That’s an apples to oranges comparison BTW.

But I don’t think the numbers take into account in-game issues. You’re more desperate on offense if you don’t make the 2, which results in trying O plays that don’t align with gameplan or O strengths v. team you are playing.

Exactly Charlie. There’s more to football than numbers and probability. I watch a ton of football and only the dumb coachs go for two before they have to.

Just because coaches are stuck in archaic ways that don't lead to best win equity, doesn't make it right!

I don't quite get the consternation amongst Duke fans about letting Dinucci throw the ball at the end of the game. At that point he was 22 for 32 for 204 yards with 2 TDs and no INTs. When they got inside the NDSU 10 yard line on their initial drive their play sequence went:

3rd & 1 at NDSU 8
(8:52 - 1st) Percy Agyei-Obese run for 1 yd to the NDkSt 7 for a 1ST down

1st & Goal at NDSU 7
(8:19 - 1st) Percy Agyei-Obese run for 3 yds to the NDkSt 4

2nd & Goal at NDSU 4
(8:00 - 1st) Percy Agyei-Obese run for a loss of 1 yard to the NDkSt 5

3rd & Goal at NDSU 5
(7:27 - 1st) Ben DiNucci pass complete to Riley Stapleton for 5 yds for a TD, (Ethan Ratke KICK)


Dinucci also threw a 5 yard TD to Riley Stapleton later in the game. I don't think they had confidence they could run on a condensed NDSU defense but they thought they had mismatches in the passing game. If anything the bad decision was throwing the ball to Polk who had done nothing all game instead of one of the Stapletons who had the size and physicality to make plays over the NDSU DBs.

What would Bulldog do? As a fan of a runner up he at least knows what it takes to get a team into 2nd place

[WeAreThePride]

No, you're a dick. Do you get paid when there is no work to do? Think about it, dickbreath.

You can volunteer to work the snack bar or wand ticketholders or wash cars for free in the tailgate lots or pick purple and gold streamers out of the trees. I really don't give a shit. But the fact is people already get paid to do that, so be as stupid as you want. No one really cares.

Exactly. This is why I always make sure to take a nice, watery, beer shit in the upper deck of the toilet. It feels good for me, and it keeps cleaning folks employed.

Correct. Plus its easier to hate them if you take their elitist football opinions and extrapolate it to literally every possible aspect of their lives. MUCH easier to hate them that way then looking for what makes us similar haha

[heffray]

Not sure if bulldog is constipated or just doing a Cignetti watching the bison play football face?
