Well I mean this is a 'topic', right? It's not like it's just some authoritative post that you can't quibble with.

perhaps what's interesting about these numbers is that, while I agree with the premise, eg. we rely far too much on turnovers, I think there is an element that the numbers fail to account for, and it might be worth exploring just what that element is.

Meaning that I actually kinda think the Vols could force, say, only 12 TOs vs Memphis and still win, and yet I wonder what kind of hunches sponsor that thought. I'm reluctant to call it 'intagibles', because that's a bit silly-seeming, but I'm not reluctant to call it something else. What that else is I'm not aware of yet.

Let the topic be about that instead, if you are tired of hearing the same old.
