Quote:Three more that couldn't wait for the extra marshmallows.

 

WOW.

 

How can you not see the glaring, almost blindingly, obvious disparity between your example of the Marshmallow experiment -- which champions patience and inactivity -- and your call for the team to tank -- which calls for immediate action and denies the team their alloted time in which they can make a sound decision? This is so bad, and so far off of whatever point that you're trying to make that I wonder if it simply came about just because you stumbled across the article.

 

Those of us that want the team to win now are preaching patience in that the evaluation of college players is not complete. Yes, it's fun now to watch but fun now does not correlate to pain later. There's simply no guarantee of it. There are still offseason workouts, interviews, even bowl games still to be played and all of that can, and will, have an effect on the future.

 

So which one of us is denying instant gratification?
