That was unbelievably stupid. I remember Bobby Bowden kicking a PAT up 12 w/ ~8-10 minutes left vs. Miami a few years ago.

That is unbelievable. How could you possibly be considered a good coach if you make mistakes that are so obvious? WTF!

Also, bump for Andy Reid on monday.

Mack Brown went for 2 after scoring with 5 minutes left against UCF to go ahead by 11.

Does it have to be football?

A Nunez singled to right.
J Moyer bunt popped into double play, third to second, A Nunez doubled off first.
[skipping rest of top of 8th]...

J Romero relieved J Moyer.

I think this needs to be clarified. He went for 2 and didn't get it, thereby leaving his team up 11, instead of 12 after a normal PAT.

I would say like 5-10 minutes left in the game is the cutoff for stuff like this. Any more time left and I don't think you can automatically call any 2pt-conversion/PAT decision stupid. In college I would probably go for 2 every time, so that covers any excuse for a seemingly stupid 2pt-try. With 9 or 10+ minutes left in the game, too much can happen to just automatically for 2 based on game situation, imo.

But yeah, with 5 minutes to go, thats pretty dumb. WAY worse with like 38 seconds to go in the UK situation.

Then this is totally standard and correct.
