When I was maybe 7 or 8, I had a thought: At halftime, no game is truly out of reach. Because even if you're losing huge, to tie the game, all you'd have to do is do to the other team what they just did to you.
In case that's not clear. Say it's 31-3 at the half. If you score 31 in the second half and hold them to 3, you'll get to overtime. And you know that's possible because they just did that to you.
What 7 or 8 year old me didn't realize, is that if you're losing 31-3, it's probably because that team is much better than you.
