ofcourse not. Thats just a word the anouncers love to throw out there. There is no such thing. If it can be changed with just a single play than it doesn't mean very much. Just another stupid phrase that they like to use.

not worth it. There is no clear right or wrong answer to this.

success = confidence = repeat success.

So IMO, yes.

hmmm that's not momentum. That is being confident that you can succeed. Having faith in yourself is not momentum.

Still nobody has answred if it is so easy to get momentum than what makes it so important?

If momentum did not exist Illinois would not of beat Arizona to get to the final 4 2005, and home court advantage would not exist either. Momentum is phsycological just like playing in a hostile envirement is. So basically when you say momentum doesn't exist your are saying there is no phsycological aspect in sports...which is just plain dumb.

This isn't worth arguing. TheRightSide isn't going to change his mind. Anyone who believes in momentum aren't going to change their minds. This seems to be one of those issues that people are sure to be stubborn about.

In my experience TheRightSide has NEVER made a sensible post.

The streak goes on ...

FU you commie. Is that an employment criteria that you have to be a left wing half wit to work at theRX. I mean come on I try to ponit out something that I think is stupid that all anouncers say and look at all the people that just agree with the MOD. Not 1 fact has been stated by the people that oppose my theory. I didn't start this thread to argue with people.

The term momentum is mis-used in the sports world, but it's one of those 'understood' things. Somewhat like saying "I could care less". You know what they mean ("I couldn't care less" - the other way is the opposite of their intention).

Momemtum in the physical world (mass times velocity) can't be instantaneously reversed. The term momentum has meaning for a 300 lb lineman running down field, but not with respect to the teams future success. You know what the sportscaster means when he says a team has momentum, it just doesn't make sense as a physical phenomenon.

gyno,
let's not give the Irish too much credit, after all proving RightSide wrong isn't too difficult.

Wow the Notre Dame game sure proved you wrong RightSide..


BULLSHIT.

Is anybody able to not agree with a MOD around here without all the merry men comming after them. MSU has done this for years. THey are chokers and losers. So some imaginary thing made Stanton fumble and throw those interception? If you think that way then you believe in the tooth ferry.

But oh I know a mod says its there so that must be the law at theRX.

Gyn me and you have never had a problem before so I'm not sure why you decided to bring this thread up to the top. I never gave you a problem when you would get ripped in the horse forum. Momentum is for the mentally weak thinking person, are you one. If it means so much than why can it be so easy to change the "momentum". It would change on every play.

Last week when LA Dodgers hot all those homers in a row to win the game. Sportscasters on all channels said how this would be a big help and give them momentum for the next few games. LOLOLOLOL they lost the next few games.
So people please take your lips off of the MODS crotch long enough to think for yourselves and pick some damn winners. Just like the don't be a square statement.LOL that's just stupid degenerat gambler talk to make yourselves feel better.

Right Side, this has NOTHING to do with agreeing with a Mod, you really need to get off that idea...I have noticed you can't just debate an issue without trying to criticize the other person...why is that? You think anyone who disagrees with you has something wrong with them, are you really serious?.

Jman I already posted that I didn't want to argue with people. But I try to deal with facts. And not 1 poster here has shown me any facts on how it does exist.


Oh yeah like LAnder has added a lot to this thread. Hell if it was in the poli room he would have asked me where my white robe is. Lander is a POS I don't need him in my threads. So please try to bring some facts.

Jman even you can admit when the mods are in the thread 98% of the people always come in behind and agree with you guys.

BTW I agreed with Fish or you yesterday with the MSU game. Infact that is more proof for me. You or Fish and a few others knew the MSU game was far from over. So if it happens all the time how does it mean anything. I get tired of arguing with most of these people.

I think though you could atleast debate without the subtle jabs, always taking shots when that isn't part of it....I think that game is what promted someone to mention this thread. oh well good luck today.

Having witnessed the "Miracle at Rich" first-hand, there is no question -- momentum 100% absolutely exists in sports. And just because you have it, is no guarantee you keep it -- one play can change momentum.

For starters, you can bet your a*s that the adreneline gets flowing when your team gets rolling in a key situation. And we won't even get into the mental part of sports.

It's completely absurd to insist momentum doesn't exist.
