And there's a lot of folks who have no damned clue as to why I stirred this pot - and who I stirred it for. It's so simple to not only pull them out - but to have them jump in! Any criticism overloads their limited sensory pool - and resort to insults and time-worn replies of anger - as...

I'd never suggest, "Man, you suck! Go sit down so Garcia can get on the field." No! You explain what he already knows - "You're a bit off today - let's give Jake a whirl - you're still the man!" No one gets their feelings hurt - unless you're a candyass - and maybe Jake can light things off...

Your standard of measurement isn't the determinator. When X has been substandard the last two days, and today when you fire up, once again, X is substandard - Y may not be a proven commodity - but we know he's close. Broken in. Operates at a different temperature, but operates fine. But your...

You're right! We almost dominated - statistically. First Downs, Total Yards, Passing Yards, Rushing Yards, Time of Possession. But they waxed us. I agree they didn't wax and BUFF our azzes to a high sheen - but yeah, they waxed on and waxed off. Scoreboard says so. Yes, needed TD's...

For who? Maybe it did something for their team. To say it did nothing is to fly in the face of scores of changeups that won games and reversed fortune. If your coach kicks for a meaningless three points - while you stand a good chance to get seven - well - he doesn't have confidence in you...

The team I played on at the time had a documented win/loss ratio of 150:1. It continues to this day. Same win/loss ratio. There's two kinds of people. Task oriented. People oriented. Task folks will say, "The best plays." And mean it. People Oriented - Nice losers. But really nice.

Then you talk to DVD, tell him he needs a break - and you want him to look good, so come up limping - anything - so I don't have to pull your *** and let Jake stir the pot a bit. The job is yours - but tonight isn't.

Yes, he IS a prick - but that PRICK just waxed our asses last night - We played scared. That was obvious. It was too big of a moment for us.

That's the other side. Sometimes a changeup bites receivers in the *** - and suddenly it's a new game. Maybe - #2 QB throws a bit "different" - velocity - lead - altitude - arc - whatever. Suddenly everyone's catching everything. I've seen it too many times.

I didn't SAY the FSU QB won - I said the changeup demonstrated Jimbo was willing to take a significant step to enhance their chances of winning. And he DID. When your first of two really good QB's is struggling - have enough damned sense to put in the #2 - especially when there is ZERO DOWNSIDE!

After three games, DVD looking flat, preoccupied, slow as grandma's great-aunt at making a decision, throwing down in the dirt, holding the ball too long, checking his RB first - it was an easy decision for UM, too. If we didn't HAVE a good QB sitting on the pine - that would be one thing...

Unlike UM, Jimbo pulled his starting QB - to win. And he won. At least that SOB has a pair of balls.
