Think of it this way: If Davis had gotten tackled after making the line to gain, we would have a first down and gone into the victory formation and taken a knee on first down with just over a minute to play. After they reset the ball, we would have taken the 2nd down snap with around 30 seconds to play. There would have been no 3rd down snap. We would have walked off the field. instead, Vandy had the ball with 1:30 remaining and more than a zero percent chance to tie to the game. And certainly much more than a zero percent chance of one of our defenders suffering an injury. Either way the likelihood of them winning was uber-low. However, ....IF Davis had shocked everybody and gone down at the 1, would anybody here actually say he was a pussy dumbass? I wouldn't. Nobody would.

:lol: Just admit it, you are so flustered right now you'll say damn near anything. I never said it was impossible. I said it is so improbable that it makes more sense than the other course of action.

:facepalm: um...that's exactly the assumption you made in the post of yours that I quoted. I even bolded it for you yet you deny it. God, you're either the most disingenuous poster around or the dumbest...maybe both. See, this is your typical MO. You make some stupid statement and when you get called out you then try to deflect, divert and change your original premise. You'll even point to a different post you made contradicting yourself as proof that you aren't wrong. You stated that taking a knee rather than scoring maximizes our chance of winning compared to scoring the TD, yet you can't produce anything to support that position. After you got your azz kicked by Swonky, myself and others in the verbal sparring match you then shift gears. This time you're shifting to the "our guys could get injured" card which has nothing to do with winning or losing the Vandy game in the final 98 seconds. The truth is had Davis taken a knee rather than scoring we would have won the game with near certainty but in your moronic way, you profess it to be statistically more likely than winning with a 14 point cushion. I shouldn't have expected much different from you, though. You're the same dumb fcvk that swore up and down a few years ago that a defensive player couldn't recover a fumble on 4th down and return it for yardage, that only the original ball carrier could do that. After I schooled you on that, provided links to the rules, real life examples, etc. you then try to move the goal posts, deflect, divert, deny, etc. rather than just manning up and admitting you were wrong. You're a typical blowhard. If I didn't know better I'd swear that you're Hillary Clinton hiding on the other side of the keyboard, with all the denying and shifting of positions you do.

We are getting you clicks here, Ox. Don't get in the way.

Some people have also been searching furiously for the stats.

I'm sitting down to dinner but if you want I can look it up for you. I do know that BYU scored 3 TDs in the holiday bowl to beat SMU years ago in the last 2 and half minutes.

I'm well aware of that game. Different set of circumstances. Much more time on the clock for one. Try again.

Having no offense in about 10 years we are so far in the score hole that we could rack up 50 in every game for 5 years and still not be at the average score per game.
OBTW: This is one dumbazz thread subject

All I know is that arguing with GatorinGeorgia is like trying to teach a dog how to read a wristwatch. The dude is unhinged. The amount of circular logic, backtracking and flat out lying the dude does is more entertaining than midget porn. I swear he walks around all day carrying an ear of corn without using his hands. I have no idea WTF he is talking about with that "defender can't advance a fumble nonsense." I vaguely remember a discussion about who can advance a 4th down fumble and being convinced that only the ball carrier can advance his fumble, but whatever. Only GatorinGeorgia can read a post about something that is about to happen, such as snapping the ball at certain clock intervals, and infer that what I'm saying is that a fumble during one of those plays is impossible. Again, whatever. I wouldn't trade places in the world with this asshat for all the tea in China.

BNA, you complete me! Spot on bro!

So you don't remember it and then you do. Thanks for making my point...again. That's your typical M.O. that I referenced.

Um...that's what you posted. I quoted it in bold for you TWICE. Do I need to do it a 3rd time? Would me doing that do any good? My guess is you'd again deny what you wrote. You're like a cornered rat, willing to say or do anything, even lie, to get out of your predicament.

Really dude just quote where I said a fumble was impossible or GTFO. I mean quote what I wrote not what the voices in your head told you I said.

Dude, I quoted what you wrote. As I already explained, it's pretty effing simple...you post statements in the same thread that contradict each other. Then you can use that to deny what you said to suit your position. You just did it AGAIN.

The kid did exactly what he was supposed to... SCORE! The fact mac was pissed about him doing so explains why we're struggling!
Id be real interested in your friends take on how Butters reacted to Franks throwing the TD vs Tinerc.

Give us ONE example, JUST ONE, in D1-A football where a team down by 14 points, with 1:38 or less left on the clock and getting ready to receive a kickoff, with no timeouts left, has scored a TD, recovered an onside kick and then scored another TD and gone on to win the game.

I'm sitting down to dinner but if you want I can look it up for you. I do know that BYU scored 3 TDs in the holiday bowl to beat SMU years ago in the last 2 and half minutes.

Do you have anything on this other than crickets?

I'm playing scrabble with the family right now Dick. I said I'd look it up when I got done. If I find an example are you going to shut the **** up?

I doubt it as that would put you on even footing with the Okie State/Troy V formation video. Anyway, no need to bother finding the video. You're playing Scrabble and I'm going to bed. This seems like the perfect time to check out of this thread. Peace out.

Good Lord moron why would Vandy have to throw a Hail Mary from their 1 yard line with a minute and a half left on the clock?
Do you really need to refer to people as morons just because you don't agree with their position? We won the game and gave this offense a much needed boost. As bad as we have sucked you really think that telling a freshman RB to go down on the 2 yd line is practical? No self respecting gator that came up during the SOS years would ever take this position.
