Keep 'em coming, they really negate the 900 games per season that aren't like that.  Someone should study this board with the lack of sample size acumen.  It's truly amazing.

Seriously? You're all arguing over this? 

I haven't done the analysis, but I'd say the number of CFB games that end with a combined score <20 points is tiny. Probably low single digit percentage. 

OAM is right. Those games are outliers. OF COURSE they exist... But that doesn't mean they're representative.

Of course, this skips right past OAM's point that low scoring games are by definition boring, which is complete and utter nonsense. So we are just having a go at him like always.

Wrong.
Soccer is boring.  It also has many low-scoring games, like the WC final.  
Soccer being boring is my opinion, which nothing you can post will negate. 

So have fun with that.  
I love baseball pitcher's duels.  So yeah.

I switched off the game immediately after it finished, but apparently there was a kerfuffle afterwards with the Argentine players getting chippy.   I'm gonna assume nothing will happen to them but some people on the internet are salty about it.
