Lamar @ Ava....Thoughts?

Why does the final score have to be the sole indicator of 'being in a game'? I've seen several instances where at the end of 3 it's a really close game before a tack on score or two stretches it out to a 3 possession game. It really doesn't hurt any reputations to admit a contest was a test, in fact it will enhance them.
 
Only 2 at Lamar huh? Funny how thats works out lol.
No kidding. Traveling again this year is bunk as well. However, we travel well and will just go do what we do. I find it interesting that we have to travel to semis "should we make it". There's no love. Poor Lamar. LOL
In relation to Ava, I won't discredit this team what-so-ever. I believe they should be proud and would expect them to come in confident. Winner moves on. However, I respect what Ava has achieved and these boys deserve to be respected. Now, on the other hand, should they prove to act like Mount Vernon, I retract the above and gloves are off. :)
 
2010/2011 MV/Liberty at Lamar Win 21 - 20
2011/2012 Lamar at MV/Liberty Win 33 - 18
2012/2013 Lamar at MV/Liberty Win 55 - 14
2013/2014 Lamar at MV/Liberty Win 35 - 00
2015/2016 Lamar at MV/Liberty Win 14 - 07
2016/2017 MV/Liberty at Lamar Win 42 - 07

2 close games
A lot of 35 possession games in that list.

I guess I don't understand what a 35 possession game is. You can tell how many times we had possession by the score? I have had some head injuries, after all.
 
And San, you are a child. Name calling tactics because we disagree? I expect better.
Do you live in a glass house? Are you not the one who called into question someone’s math skills (which is all too ironic in hindsight :D) and yet YOU’RE now the one upset about name-calling???

Opinions and perspectives vary, but I have no tolerance for those who condescendingly argue cold hard facts (like belittling someone’s math skills because they accurately described a 15 point lead as a two possession game!)

This couldn’t be a more applicable situation for the picture I posted and I stand by it.
 
Ok San first off someone called mine into account first. (Maybe try reading sometime?) secondly 15 isn’t two pocessions unless if a offense gets lucky and converts the conversion. By regular standards it’s 14. It’s not even close to the possibility of a extra point being converted. You are judging someone you don’t know, and you were volatile towards me from the start. How about you act older than your profile picture. Thank you.
 
When you say a game I should close 15 points isn’t close. So I wasn’t off by much. My only point. I can tell most of you aren’t welcoming to new people.

Nevermind the 2 games where Lamar beat Liberty by a TD or less.

When discussing a 15 point loss to power house Lamar.... pretty sure you can can count the number of teams who've came that close in the last 6 years on 1 hand.

Granted, there were twice, maybe 3 times that Lamar smoked Liberty without a doubt.

But they're the only team that has given them all they wanted more than once in the postseason and that team was from the SCA.

That's the only point I'm making.

In conclusion, you're not as intelligent as you think you are, so I suppose I can forgive the ignorance.

Only 2 others that come to mind - South Callaway and Trinity. Well, South Callaway lost by 15, so I guess we can throw out that 3 possession game.

oh yeah. because we all know that high school teams nowadays never go for 2 when the games on the line. and the chances of converting are 0%. duh.

Can you hand out a yellow card for math Cards?

So you are overly sensitive, illinformed, grammatically challenged, and hopelessly stubborn to boot...

YOU ARE THE INTERNET!

You are the reason that I have no social media presence other than LinkedIn and this site. I will choose my interactions with you wisely...

But just FYI (and I swear this is the last time I’ll say it), a 15, even a 16 point lead in the sport of American Football is a two possession game. Take your own advice and read more (starting with the below):

bear with me ...

Weight of a Wilson football + weight of ava's right guard
Let the weight of the football (initially in the center's right hand) = x
Then the weight of the right guard + x = 225 pounds

Later the number of running backs were doubled, x becomes 2x ...
Equation 2: Now, the amount of points of a TD + 2(x) = 12, assuming it's an odd date of the month and the humidity is below 70%.
If the total score went up by 42 when the only change was that the amount of second string players were doubled, then we know that the "extra" points are responsible for going into overtime and we can say x = 42(y + b)
See? It's easy.

Interesting that with less than 4 minutes to play in the Iowa 3A semifinal, Harlan trails 41-26 and the announcers continue to refer to it as a "two possession game." Sure enough, Harlan scored a TD and kicked the PAT and now trails by 8.

If this were truly a three possession game before that score, then it would now be a two possession game trailing by 8. So if Harlan does get a TD, I'd assume they'd go for the one-point kick PAT to cut the score to 41-40 and then need that onside kick to get that third possession.

Sound right Mofootballfan23?

In my opinion this was the hardest fought game in all of Lamar's title run games! They matched up strength for strength with Lamar and led in the pass and outside run areas ! Their defense was tough as any they have played lately ! It is a good wake up call for Lamar next week ! I listened to a little of the Caruthersville - L. N.game and it sounds like L .N. runs outside well! My hat is off to Ava as a host! I doubt Lamar will get that treatment next week !
