Coaching played a role in last year's 1A game. I still can't understand why Lisbon didn't punt. Not that it bothers me any, but to throw away a title like that, when you know that Harvey has Kordell Wolff over on the sidelines....

You make a good point about Cavalier, in their hayday there are probably a lot of AAA teams that would have had a tough time with them! The year that Velva beat them for the title all they had left was Matt Anderson and in that game he found out that it takes a whole team to win not just one stud. I didn't think Velva really had a very good team that year but they played to the moment and pulled it out. But I doubt that Velva would have been able to beat Cavalier the three previous years.

It had everything to do with wanting to be the coach that made the call that won the title. That call won a title, alright.

I am being objective, I am the only one defending Lisbons decision to go for it. I would have done the same thing.
