Can't we just enjoy this National Championship win?
It's funny, I have gone back every day since the game to watch the high lights, just to make sure I wasn't dreaming about the victory.

YES! And at the same time there is no harm in questioning what in the H was up with that spectacle of 9 false starts that almost cost us the championship, and talking about what the coaching staff is going to do to correct it so it doesn't cost us a critical game next season! 8)


Great time to be a BOBCAT!

I think statistically it’s an anomaly. That being said it should be looked into. How many false starts did we have per game all season, and then the playoffs are off the charts. What changed?
What does that mean, statistically it’s an anomaly?
Unfortunately they actually happened and happened and happened. Fortunately we figured out a way to win.
Nine false starts? That’s an absurd number. That’s what makes it a statistical anomaly. It’s not normal. How many false starts throughout the season? For a title game participant to get NINE in one game seems far fetched and yet we watched it happen. Crowd noise for maybe 1 ok. Jitters for maybe 2 but 3 for a 6th year 24yr old????
