Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 4814138, member: 874"] You keep mentioning emotions. There is plenty being said on this board that has nothing to do with emotion. And the facts are great, but if you don't understand what leads to the facts you miss a huge part of the puzzle. Your mouthful is a lot of sarcasm with little information. Your "step by step" skips a crapload of steps. Score more points and win more. Duh Scoring more points is harder against better teams. Double duh Why does a team score fewer points than the opponent? What makes an opponent better/worse? 1. Talent? How do we get better talent? Do need to scout better? Do we have trouble landing better prospects? What makes a teenager choose a program? Is it facilities? Is it the coaches? Is it location? Is it NIL? Is it the scheme the player will play in? 2. Scheme? What makes a scheme successful? 3. Execution? Can any scheme be successful if it's not executed well? 4. Player technique? Are players fundamentally sound? Are practices organized to teach the correct fundamentals and make them muscle memory? 5. Player conditioning. Are guys getting stronger? Do they have adequate stamina? Do they have good mobility and stability to minimize injury? If you run a play and it does not succeed, is it because our talent was overwhelmed by their talent? Did our guy(s) make a mental mistake? Did our guy(s) do what he was told but that was the wrong thing in this curcumstance? Did their coach call a better play than our coach? Are our players getting fatigued? You love to talk about numbers but you don't ever talk about the nuance behind the numbers. I suspect it's because you don't understand that side of the sport. I admit, my understanding of all those factors is also limited. But at least I don't dismiss their presence with flippant sarcasm. [/QUOTE]
