Also why the early in career proclaimed "brilliant" move on up to Bigger $ at bigger programs - where heat in those kitchens is considerably warmer than in the MAC.

At that point in the game - I was not that urked by that call. Maybe you were confusing the criticism on here of the 4th down run instead of FG attempt when there was appx 2 mins left on the game clock - quite a bit of criticism of that call on here (including me).

The opposing team sucks!

Well, I did see criticism on this board of both.  I think, though, what I said about the way a fake FG is judged would hold true for going for it on 4th down calls as well.   The only BLSS Certified Hypocrite on BA "It is better to be an optimist and be proven a fool than to be a pessimist and be proven right."

Or at least put it in the minds of Buffalo's kick block team.
