Literally waking up now. What the **** happened?

[PIPO]

yep especially as ppl on twitter and here were ripping him for not using one before the 2 minute warning

he played it right and a lot of the game management experts on CIS were wrong

He needed to take a timeout with 2:30 left on the clock and 3 timeouts and 3rd down coming up.

Just because he got away with not calling that timeout doesn’t mean he made the right decision on that particular situation.

100%. Why do coaches struggle with this seemingly easy concept? It happened yesterday in the Bama/Vandy game. MAYBE if there is, say, 2:03 or 2:05 running on the clock you let it go to the two-minute timeout so that you preserve a timeout to dictate when you want to stop it later, but there is zero justification to allow 20-30 seconds to run off in that situation.

Anyone else keep testing different seating positions? “Ok, let’s try left ankle on right knee”

I paced around the whole downstairs for 3 hrs. Changed hoodies and went from a blunt to joints and we pulled it off lmao.

I have no problem with Miami not calling the TO in that situation. Rationale is IF Cal were to get a 1st down, Miami would have 3 TOs to stop the clock under 2 mins to try to get the ball back with over a minute left.

If we call timeout at 2:30 and they got a first down we’d still have the two-minute timeout plus two timeouts. But we could use the two timeouts before the two-minute timeout as opposed to after. I really don’t see the benefit here of not calling TO.

You mean you weren't doing the math of "if we score here, here and here, and get stops in between all those.....we've GOT A CHANCE"?

Holi **** this was me at 8 minutes in the third. I was counting possessions left.

My math could be wrong, but if I'm not mistaken the difference is about 30 secs. With 3 TOs under the 2 minute warning, we'd possibly get the ball back with over a minute left. With 2 TOs, I think we would've gotten the ball back with under a minute. I'm just happy it worked out.
GO CANES!!!

On 2 hours of sleep and my daughter (infant) slapped the **** out of my face to playfully wake me up.

At least I awoke and remembered a good result. The whole thing was surreal. As I said elsewhere, you can’t really imagine the sequence of events that had to happen for us to get into that hole. And, it’s even less realistic to imagine the sequence of events that got us out of the hole.

I need blood pressure meds, probably.

I feel this as a parent lol
