Your favorite excuse line's

Well through out the weeks we have all read garbage on other forums for our success. I wanted to start this thread to see just how many excuses we could come up with on why we are winning. Everyone just put one a piece to see how many we can conjure up.

hhahahahahahahaha

Dove into the pile
Dove over the pile
Driven his legs
Had more leg strength
Had stronger hands
Had better vision
Had quicker feet
Had better balance
Had better coaching
Listened to his coaches
Was at all coachable
Not been self centered
Not been a distraction to the team
Not been so young
Been younger
Come from a better program
Been overlooked
