Now Accepting Apologies: The Experts proved me right!

The so-called ESPN Experts confirmed what I said in this thread from earlier this week. In that thread I was told repeatedly that a football will not bounce the way it did in that game consistently.
The Experts said that if they threw it 10 times that it wouldn't bounce the way it did for LSU. But they tried it ten times and it bounced the same way over and over and over. As I said, it is not about luck. It is about skill, preparation, and technique.

you need to grow some thicker skin, if you think he can control which way the ball hits the ground and which way it bounces when he tosses it behind his back in a moment with the game on the line I think you should take your meds. There is luck involved in almost every play in football.
How did he control the bounce of the football when he never planned for it to hit the ground? Even in a lucky moment someone has to be there and prepared to make it count. It isnt taking anything away from Jasper and Helton to say boy that bounce was lucky. Jasper still made a great move on the ball to take advantage of that luck.
Chill out.

Really???? Prove it.
But today it was proven that consistently a football bounces the exact same way when tossed the way LSU tossed it. Do you think that a coach told them how to toss it? Did they practice it? Is there a wrong way to toss it? Did they toss it the right way? These are technique questions.
If there is such a thing as luck, LSU was unlucky that the toss wasn't caught by the kicker and run for a TD. But I don't believe in luck and coaches don't coach luck. I give the players credit for practicing and preparing well enough that when everything wasn't executed properly they still were able to be successful.
And did I mention?..... Experts Agree
