It ends when you decide and our teams run a play, and we find out who is right... and who is dead. Fran: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would defend against my 275 lb J-Train battering ram, or an option play? Now, a clever man would sell out to stop the J-Train, because he would know that only a great fool would avoid using a touchdown machine inside the five. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the J-Train. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the option play. Stoops: You've made your decision then? Fran: Not remotely. Because Sooners come from Oklahoma, as everyone knows, and Oklahoma is entirely peopled with land-thieves, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the J-Train. Stoops: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect. Fran: Wait til I get going! Now, where was I? Stoops: Oklahoma. Fran: Yes, Oklahoma. And you must have suspected I would have known your team's origin, so I can clearly not choose the option play. Stoops: You're just stalling now. Fran: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've defended my option attack well, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could prepare for that play, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the option. But, you've also bested my passing game, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that a touchdown wins the game, so you would do everything possible to stop a pass play, so I can clearly not choose to drop back and pass. Stoops: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work. Fran: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHAT PLAY TO CALL!
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Aggie when death is on the line." HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA... (thud)
