Taking Mizzou to the woodshed

I dunno, seems like their wounds are more self inflected than anything else. Also, we've exchanged two easy TDs for FGs........
WVU is playing as a team whose sum of the parts is greater than the whole. Mizzou will have its moments of brilliance, though...should be interesting, but the home team wins this one in the trenches...
Yeah. It's self inflected wounds and nothing to do with WVU defense. We can never enjoy a win without somebody crying about dropped pass here and there. [pfftt]
Apparently you didn't watch the same game I did or you watched it in your Mother's basement locked down all alone. Try getting out more!
What you say is true with arithmetic. But simple arithmetic cannot describe the effect of people working together.
Aristotle is the one who is credited with the statement, "The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts." It refers to a situation where the strengths of the individual parts complement each in such a way that a collective quality is achieved that is above average and of a higher quality than the strength that each individual part possesses.
Two teams, by all measures, can have essentially the same kind of individual talent. But one team plays together better, players know how to compensate for teammates weaknesses, etc. ... the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
