In the national title game, UGA harassed Young all night. While the box score showed he threw for yards, it was far from the typical game. It may be unfair to call out the nation's top player for a performance like this one that was far from bad, but everybody had come to expect so much.
The sophomore was rattled as he ran for his life for much of the night. Young threw a couple of interceptions, wasn't as sharp as he normally is, and under-threw passes more than we're used to seeing. It's worth noting his top two receivers John Metchie III and Jameson Williams were injured, and Young had to throw to several guys who were forced into action.
To blame Young or the injuries to the receivers would really be doing a disservice to UGA's dominant defense, though. This was more about what the Junkyard Dawgs did than what Alabama didn't. There's a reason why everybody was so shocked when the Tide posted 41 points to win the SEC. Coordinator Dan Lanning's defense wasn't going to allow that to happen again.
They turned it up a notch with the game on the line, sealing the game with Kelee Ringo's pick-six of Young. As Nick Saban and Kirby Smart met at mid-field at the end of the game, the mics caught Saban telling Smart, "You guys kicked our [butt] in the fourth quarter. Georgia fans have heard it for so long, bristling at rival fans ending any argument about SEC supremacy with " That, of course, is the last time the Bulldogs won a national championship, way back when Vince Dooley coached the Dawgs.
In the process, he also notched his first-ever win over his former boss, Nick Saban. Much more than an aside, he also avenged a lopsided SEC championship game loss and, more importantly, got a little revenge for the overtime loss to Bama in the title game. Prior to the big win over Bama, Smart was against Saban. The former UGA defensive back from Bainbridge, Georgia, who has recruited at a level matched only by Saban the past five years, finally proved he got the chops to get it done on the field.
It may be the first of many with the way the red and black train is rolling in recruiting. Go Dawgs. After losing second-leading receiver John Metchie III with a season-ending knee injury in the SEC Championship game win over the Dawgs, they saw another one of their superstars go down early Monday in the national title game. While some do for a season, this assumption has largely been proven false.
For many investors, therefore, the secret to winning the money game may be in not trying to win. In the s, a well-known electrical engineer named Simon Ramo wrote a book on tennis strategy for amateurs: Extraordinary Tennis for the Ordinary Player. In pro tennis, spectators are accustomed to seeing consistently precise serves, stunning recoveries, and long, dramatic rallies. Eventually, one player takes a calculated risk and attempts to put his opponent away with an exceptionally powerful or well-placed shot.
At the expert level, it is the winning of points that drives the action and determines the outcome. In short, Ramo observed that amateurs lose points, professionals win points.
To test his hypothesis, he compiled an extensive database of points scored in actual tournaments at both levels. He found a surprisingly consistent and symmetrical tendency. What does this have to do with selecting a mutual fund portfolio? Trying to win, they were losing. Several thousand institutional investors — hedge funds, mutual funds, pension funds, and others — operate in the market all day, every day, in the most intensely competitive way.
The key question under the new rules of the game is this: How much better must the active mutual fund investment manager be to at least recover the costs of active management? Trying to beat the market, they buy financial magazines and follow investment services that offer a dizzying array of stock and mutual fund recommendations. Not impossible, but not a common occurrence either. No matter how much you spend your time investigating strategies on how you can do better, that golden ticket will always seem out of reach.
