There is a "big match" aspect that affects many competitions where some coaches really play quite badly in "big matches" whilst doing well at other times.

I think they might have confused good with funny

This topic was about good COACHING, not polite behaviour or a healthy approach to life

Well, I think that being healthy helps being a better coach, like in any other activity. Eat carrots and celery instead of chips and dip when playing, and I bet you that you'll do better. And after 3 beers, you may want to stop.

OK, OK. I'll shut-up now.

I have the habit of (almost always) being drunk on the second day, and by some reason, it makes me play better.

I think the pounding headache is keeping me focused on the game, and perhaps the beer activates more braincells (after the beer killed more than the double

)

Now THAT would be an interesting study: How the fear and survival of the brain cells vs the beer molecules (on the molecular/cellular level) translates into dice rolls and successful Go For Its on the macro level....

You gotta love Blood Bowl. So many angles of the game to study.

I tried to write my Ph.D. thesis on the game but it would not fly with my supervisor...so now i'm writing it NFL football. Just another way of worshiping Nuffle

That's an idea...

But it's three yrs too late to see if mine would buy it (unlikely bearing in mind he's a pediatric ophthalmologist but you never know).

But there's always next time!
