@@jackhobbs720 Oh true Let’s see how the expected value works out Game about to be over, your team up on the scoreline but likely about to see a reversal, in which case you would have no time to score again and lose. Assign probability p to that. Then 1-p chance you’d just win by defending. Otherwise you flop and have probability q of winning with the remaining time. As long as you find q to be greater than p flopping becomes the best shot. Eg if you figure there’s a 95% chance they score and a 6% chance you get a TD after letting them score, flop

I have a hypothesis based on the fact the Pentagon now openly spends millions for pregame ceremonies in NCAA and pro sports. You can take it or leave it and maybe it's a consequence of the military industrial complex and not by design. The military and intel community infiltrated the media (Operation Mockingbird) who used it to moralize about American values that were inconsistent with our foreign policy and corrupt bureaucracy. Best case it was subtle manipulation to program regular people to reinforce their thematic narrative. It set the standard for how authority figures think they need to lead and how subordinates should act to be considered respectful. Nowhere is this more pronounced than in athletics, where coaches and parents treat the game like their little ROTC boot camp where they get to imbue kids with their often erratic habits, but always rooted in respect and authority. So that sports becomes a reflection of your character, and all the spectators get to project and enforce what they believe to be their own organic values. Kids are "good" or "bad" depending on how they act in sports, separate from how they actually compete. You're not just carrying the weight of your position or your team but of all the values your coach, department, school and community has laid on your shoulders.

The only thing that could be called 'disrespectful' was the overtness of the flopping - that was just dumb, as it telegraphs to the entire college football world that you're doing this for your QB, which will put an asterisk beside his record in some peoples' minds. But Miami players were so enraged that they cried? Please. There are a lot of things in life worth crying over, and this sure as heck isn't one of them. Years ago the Dallas Cowboys were up by a moderate amount over the GB Packers, and Cowboys coach Barry Switzer let his kicker - at the end of the game - attempt a FG that would result in an NFL record for most FGs in a game. He made it and got the record. GB's coach was mad as a hornet, and so were some dim-witted media personalities, but Switzer made the right call. As he told the GB coach, "He had a chance for an NFL record!" And it was only 3 points, lol. Some people LOOK for ways to get offended.

The first time I heard about this play, I laughed for about five minutes straight! It's hilarious! If Miami didn't want to give up the passing record, they didn't have to. The play happened on 2nd down and 7. Instead of scoring a meaningless TD when the Gator D lay down, they should have just stopped at the 1, and kept standing there until either the clock ran out or the Gators got tired of lying there and got up, at which point the Canes should have run around as long as possible and if there was any time left after the play, taken a knee on the next play to finish things off. Instead, they opted to play along with the Gators by scoring the TD and cried about it after the game.

@BeskarSnake The play was over. Regardless if the play was still active or not, the intent to injure is the main focal point. Even if Bradshaw fought the tackle 'on a live play' he was still deliberately pile driven into the ground. Turkey took the time to go about 10 yards behind the play, lift up Bradshaw, and deliberately try and hurt him. The play is described as one of the most violent plays in NFL history, by experts. Cleveland was up against the Back to Back champs, in a Rivaly game, and used this as a way to send a message. It was as unnecessary as possible. Bradshaw was paralyzed for a while and could have died. The Steel Curtain was so mad, they put mostly zeros on the board the rest of the year. This is not much of an excusable play. I don't care how much you hate the Steelers, that is a terrible argument.

So were the game clocks always running back then and/or did teams get three timeouts like they do now per half? I was thinking it must be fourth down given a timeout is usually done after each down, so why not just let the ball turnover on downs on fourth down? I wonder what the yardage was on the 4th down that they thought Miami would convert? And why not just tackle badly to let them score, or blow a coverage intentionally? Seems like intent to humiliate.Miamai could have also got the first down and just fell down at the one too.

Because they all had only a minute or two at most to decide what and how to do it. The offense relied on the player to call the play in the huddle, he's a smartass kid, what is he going to come up with? The offense had to recognize, analyze, interpret, and react with an open lane to the goal line all within the timeframe of one play. Monday morning quarterbacking is easy. You know what's coming!

The Auburn comment was spot on.

Sports has almost nothing to do with competition or gamesmanship. It's just a means for spectators to moralize about sociological themes. Matters of integrity, honor and courage that we almost entirely lack in real life because our society is built on hypocrisy and corruption. None of those players should have felt that kind of shame about the game, especially in that era before it was such a financial opportunity. To break your clavicle trying to hurt the other team in frustration for a flop seems like it would be a lesson about screwed up priorities. And almost all of this is coming from the media, coaches and parents. But mostly the media who feeds us all with their narrative horseshit because they resent not being real journalists.

It’s time to drain the swamp. I like the State of Miami but nowadays they’re average.

They could've at least made it semi-realistic. Most football plays are a missed tackle or two away from being TDs.

Schnellenberger is probably the most underrated mob-backed coach of all time.
