[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 250832, member: 639"] I don't buy the physical superiority causes the mental errors thing. We are not asking our guys to do supernatural things. Nor are we asking them to subdue supernatural beings. We are merely asking them, in many cases, just to slow another human being down by getting in his way. That guy may be faster and bigger but just getting in his way is not asking for the moon. I do buy, to some degree, the speed of the game thing, against teams like Clemmons. Those guys were quick and got to spots ahead of time that our guys were used to, causing some pains in execution. What I believe, more than any of this, is that our guys were tight. They were excited and to some degree their brains shut off. Pressure does that sometimes. Those of us who have played sports understand this. Adrenaline changes you and then adversity changes you too. Things that seem natural during practice time, seem foreign as hell when the lights come on and you get punched in the mouth. You guys are probably really tired of my military analogies, but this is why Marine training is so darned stressful. They are masters at making you fear for your life during training exercises, before you even come close to the battle field, so, when you get there, it won't feel so different and you will remember what to do.
