Here is another element to the Chalk Talk I want to bring in. This one involves strategy. Recently, the Hawaii-Louisiana Tech game made me think of this senario.

Let's say that you are facing a high-powered offense and it is a high scoring game and the game is a district game that is the decider on whether you go to the playoffs or stay at home. Your offense has managed to stay in the game and you find yourself down by one pending an extra point to tie the game and send it into overtime or a win pending a successful two point attempt. You know your defense will not stop the high-powered offense in overtime and your offense is not exactly equipped to handle shoot outs with a high octane offense.

What do you do? Lay it all on the line and go for the win? Or do you take the extra point and send it to overtime and take your chances? As you know, the extra point is not exactly a given. Neither is the two pointer.

Season is on the line.. You make the call! Explain your reasons for making your choice.

Around this time of the game, I'm either excited, nerved up, or very very angry.  In this case, I would be very excited at this point with the above senerio.  I would kick the extra point and hope I win the coin flip.  Obviously, your offense did someting to keep you in the game to this point.  I wouldnt' go for the 2 points at the end of regulation because your either a genius or a dope.  50/50 chance.  I'm conserative so the FG would be kicked by me.

Well, no.  That's one of those things that happened.  The FG got blocked in that game and the first time all last year.  We had a good kicker.  That was a great play by Dayton.  on that play, the chances of Central missing that extra point was less than 10%.  So the chances of making it was 90%.  I'll take those chances with Coop's senerio.

I stare my offense in the eye...and demand they prove their manhood....by ramming that ball right over the goalline. No fancy tricks, or finnesse passes, just simply line up and smash it in, and WIN THE GAME!

I'm telling you I saw Jasper go for the extra point against Gilmer. It still hunts them I know. Every time they went for two, they converted. At the end they were in this situation. The went for the tie. They missed it. You play to win. You gota go for the win. I would.

My thoughts exactly. Play to win. I gain my teams confidence by asking them, "You want to win it?"  Of course the answer will always be yes from the kids.  :D

OMG!!! :o :o :o :o

Soulja com'on man, 2000 Deer Park. Dixon could have went for two for win. Playoff chances riding on this. He kicked extra point. Ball hits center in the ---. Game over. No playoffs and all the players told me they asked him to go for the 2 points. As a matter of fact, C Coleman the kicker told enoch he didn't feel comfortable kicking in that situation.

      John Cornyn Will Be Primaried In 2026!

      I have no issue with that however…. Rick Perry, although seemingly not really popular even with Republicans, was almost impossible to beat. The Texas conservatives just needed that tough, real conservative with an already popular voting base. Someone that has been elected to both Texas state office and federal office.  Boom! In 2010 in steps Kay Bailey Hutchison, a popular sitting US Senator and former Texas Treasurer. So she has been elected, statewide in both a state political position and nationally as a senator. A Rasmussen poll in 2009 showed Hutchison with a 40% to 38% lead over Perry. She had high profile endorsements as did Perry. Hutchison was endorsed by the likes of G H W Bush, Nolan Ryan, Roger Staubach, etc. If people are actually going to listen to endorsements, those are some fairly well thought of people in Texas. Primary day was between Perry, Hutchison and Debra Medina. Hutchison was beaten by Perry 51% to 30% and he got enough votes to avoid a runoff. Obviously, that has no bearing on today. It does show that just because a person is very popular and already elected to national office from Texas such as Kay Bailey Hutchison, it does not ensure a good showing in the polls against an incumbent. It will be interesting for sure.

      WOW what a game. just got home, I'm gonna sleep with a big smile all night. PNG QB passes were spot on tonight, lil #17 freshman receiver had huge catches at critical times in the game. # 44 had a couple of huge catches including the 'jump pass' on 4th down for a touchdown.  #4 made big plays at key times on both sides of the ball, he is a beast. #11 played his usual consistent game with big time catches and a couple of good punts and a good job of just falling on a bobbled kick reception. #27 probably had 125 yards or so rushing. The defensive backs did a good job, bending but not breaking including the interception in the end zone. I thought the TH coaches messed up not trying to score with the high power players they have when they got the fumble right before half with 45 seconds or so on the clock and 3 TO left, if they would have scored then it would have broke our backs. I know it was 90 yards to go but they could cover the field in 3 or 4 plays. This is one of the most exciting wins in PNG's long history of exciting wins. Oh yeah kudos to the fans for getting in to the game at key times and in my Opinion making a big difference. 😂
