Frosted Flakes: Take A Knee Scott, Broken Chair Fundraising, Get Over The Fullback

Where I have opinions on things, just like a guy who gets paid full time except crankier.

There has been much discussion about the fourth down calls made in the Northwestern. Go or don’t go – which is right and which is wrong. As fans, we always know the correct answer because we have the benefit of hindsight and hindsight is never wrong. I know this because I am reminded by fans sometimes when I get emails after a game telling me what a moron I was for whatever prediction I made that was wrong. I never get these types of emails before a game.

I found the fourth down decisions puzzling at the time, in hindsight (there’s that word again) what bothered me more than Scott Frost’s fourth down decisions was when he took a knee to let regulation expire tied with Northwestern.

In 1998, the Minnesota Vikings were rolling. They were 15-0 and headed into the NFC Championship game against Atlanta. The game is tied, 27-27, and the Vikings have the ball on their own 30 with 30 seconds left. They have Randall Cunningham and Randy Moss to lead the most explosive offense in NFL history. Coach Dennis Green decides to take a knee and let the game go into overtime, where Minnesota LOSES because letting their fans down is something the Vikes have done every year of their existence.
