I like when Sheldon starts explaining the theory and the statistics you can see his father giving it his full attention, he doesn’t agree to start with but still considering it knowing how smart his son is.
Never seen the whole series, but if this episode came after the one with the tax officer, then it really builds on the fate the father of Sheldon has in his kid.
When I was a 11, my father took me to his work one day. This was back in the early days of computers. His work computer had a football game. It was basically you choose a play and the computer ran a simulation and decided if your play worked (think Oregon Trail). No one had ever beaten the game. They let me play it, "to give me something to do" during the lunch break. The computer was beating me 9 - 7 in the 3rd quarter when I had 4th and 19 from my own 18 yard line. I called a Hail Mary. When the computer finished it's simulation, it said touchdown, 82 yards. I took the lead and never gave it up. Winning 20 - 16. All of his co-workers were stunned. My dad was super proud that day. I remember he kept telling them over and over. "I told you he could beat it."
@@BowserTheMighty Sheldon and Missy's real father was James Hagen, DDS. He was the family dentist - smart, short guy with glasses. Mary had an affair with him and felt guilty, and the only way George would forgive her is if she turned to christ. Which is why she is so religious. They explain this in Young Sheldon and TBBT
@@battleduty101 Actually it doesn't. Once you start beginning in mathematics at the Quantum level you'll begin to notice that our system can't support universal calculations because it is flawed.
Battle-duty 101 taking everything literally when you know there’s a deeper meaning just to be a smart ass just means you’re going to miss out on a whole lot of good conversation
but forreal that assistant coach doubting him the whole time and after it works saying i never doubted you was the most realistic thing in this whole show.
I love how she also quoted Sheldon without any doubt or hesitation. Even against all the doubters around her she knew and believed in her son enough to stand on his side. (As I’m writing this I keep thinking: well, yeah, that’s what parents should do, but then I had to remind myself that not all parents do.)
@@orionred2489 hrmm... I’m not sure. It would make sense that they would be, but I think Sheldon was also taking into account the size of the field and their placement in it. And later when his dad mentioned how experienced and knowledgeable he was in the sport and that Sheldon’s math can’t be right, they both seemed to be talking about those particular statistics in general and not just for those teams.
Just means his math was based on false assumptions. They've only gone for it on 4th down twice, both presumably short yardage situations. You can't then declare definitively you'd convert 50% of the time when the distance is variable. Young Sheldon's math was wrong.
Sheldon’s calculations might be more accurate if the team ALWAYS goes for it on fourth down. During the course of the game the statistical probability works out in your favor. But choosing just the one time in the game would not allow the percentages to give you the desired advantage.
@@rileygiordano2380no it wasn’t cuz okay they didn’t get it and lets just say they turned the ball over okay when they get back on offense if they get in a 4th down situation again and go for it and get it that means Sheldon’s 50% is still right meaning if u don’t get it the first time you’ll get it the second time you go for it doesn’t have to be back to back
@@Dc-kk9bd Yeah, that's my only point, that not all 4th downs are the same. He based his math on them making it 50% of the time, but that assumption shouldn't be used.
This is just awesome. Against everyone around him, against his own team, against his own better judgement, and even with that initial failure, the dad still went for it. You could even see that he was having a hard time believing the decision he made, but his faith in his son was greater then all of that doubt. He confidently recalled something that Sheldon had done before and he stood firm. To really bring home how remarkable this is, I’d like to point out... they’re in Texas; I’m pretty sure I can go as far as saying that this can even be considered turning his back on two or the three “holy trinity”.
and technically sheldon says they have a 50% of success, they already failed so statistically speaking they had a 100% of success the second time.. based on TV facts not real life
This is what they actually do now in NFL, they use analytics/statistical analysis to help determine the play. They even talk about it openly during the game. Many times no point in punting when you're past 45 yard line on your opponent side as analytics say your stats are better just going for it on 4th down. Young Sheldon is literally just ahead of his time... LOL
@@Daniel-sh3osas directly stated in the episode the question is are you better off if you always punt or never punt on 4th down? And the stats point to never punting. Sure if you take a more nuanced look 4th and more than 5 from your twelve is the wrong choice. However are we really taking a nuanced look at this? Do we think this near end of the game scenario was the first time they punted in the game or what made him click over to following his son? Also let me try a scenario, you have the ball on your own 12 yard line, it is the fourth quarter and ever play this game you have gained exactly 7 yards. This drive has started on the 8, first down gain seven to the 15; second down false start to the 10, run to the 17; third down holding half distance to the 9, false start to the 5, gain 7 to the 12. It is 4th and 6. Do you think you should punt Or take take the 7 almost certain 7 yards?
easily one of the best moments for me in the whole series, there isn’t really a lot of overlap between sheldon and his dad, but moments like this gives them a rewarding interaction on a topic they can both contribute in 😀
I am still hoping that George Cooper somehow survives until Sheldon is well into his teens and all the references in TBBT of of his death is just a case of Sheldon being an unreliable narrator and everyone else kind of following along.
@@Gautamkumarofficial this was only an actor who played Sheldon's father in young Sheldon, but technically it was a different character, can't remember the episode but yeah this was just a lack of personnel

I heard in some episode that Sheldon's granddad aka Meemaw's Husband is a very clever man. They should cover him somewhere to depict where Sheldon gets his intelligence from.
there's no reason to believe there had to be someone in Sheldon's family tree had to be smart for him to be a genius. it just happens sometimes. just like when extremely smart people have average or even below average children.
1:13...no..Sheldon glances into the air ...my math is right dad.. .memaw..his real father is the little dentist ...right.. u can tell me...show is hilarious...Georgie in the huddle...my damn brother!
If you give up points 77% of the time it means your defense sucks and you probably going to lose no matter what you do or dont do. You might as well go for it since you going to lose anyway.
Dan Raiders Warriors Sharks Giants if you dont pay attention to detail, you will lose most of the time. try paying closer attention to what Sheldon actually said.
Steve Swangler Haha That is hilarious when I clearly did and you did not.He said the defense gives up points 77% of the time or worse.77% was the minimum amount.
When I was ten and wrote a program to print amortization schedules, this was in the early 80's.. I think it was the first time nurdy me and my fireman , highschool football playing , step dad connected. Back then the bank would charge a fee for them. As he owned several properties this would get expensive. Then he told the church pastor about it and I started making them for others. I don't think I'd ever been proud of anything before. My mom's hypercritical and being on welfare we had moved so often I was always in trouble at school. (I attended 13 different public schools in total) About the same time I took my first standardized tests and was moved from the learn disabilities classes to the advanced placement college credit courses. Now I'm an engineer.
Is it me or does Sheldon seem more like a 90s show with lessons that are taught then just entertainment like it’s the show it spins off from? Both great shows but I like Sheldon coopers show
Today an entire data analysis team in almost all the sport sits doing exact thing sheldon did, infact they also use Game Theory to better off the strategies.
So many variables that Sheldon doesn't take into consideration. For example, he says that you are successful 50% of the time that you go for it on 4th down. But doesn't consider that pretty much every time that they went for it on 4th down, it was 4th and less than 3 yards. Going for it on let's say 4th and 12 every time would make that 50% drop tremendously.
You're not wrong but if you knew you were going on 4th, your playbook is open on 3rd and 12 to run a screen, draw or short pass that the defense typically concedes and now it's 4th and 3.
Yeah, the calculation is a little too simplistic as Sheldon has presented it. Stuff like relative offensive and defensive strength (going for it vs a team with a good offense and poor defense is better than vs a team with a poor offense and good defense), yardage to 1st down, score conversion % for both teams from expected field position in both situations, the score and time left etc. Still worth looking into though if the aggregate numbers are that good.
It's statistics, meaning that he got information from previous games (or has studied winning probability of football) and concludes that 50% of the teams that go for the fourth will score, and it is shown statistically that 48% of the cases that go for the fourth down score Statistics doesn't take variables into account, every team going on the fourth down that loses or wins will be collected and analyzed into chances So when Sheldon says 50%, he means that, let's say, previous 100 teams out of 200 that have gone for fourth down score regardless of which yard teams are on, of course he doesn't take variables into account, it is how it is
I like how George, though he doesn't understand, appreciates his son's intelligence. I think the most supportive thing George did was try to listen to what his son has to say....wish Sheldon knew about this as he got older.....maybe I should watch this series
The face George makes at 2:39 is when he realizes Sheldon's theory is right, and he has full confidence in it before the play even happens. Which is why he chimes in "did I ever tell you about my tax refund?" alluding to another situation when he seriously doubted Sheldon but was wrong. George's way of saying "I trust my son." I love this scene because it captures a truth of life, if the logic behind what you're doing is complicated most people will write you off as a fool before they try to understand it. So as the great Stan Lee said, "if you know in your heart that it's a good idea, never let anyone tell you otherwise."
It matters if it's fourth and one, fourth and five, or fourth and fifteen, which sheldon didn't appear to include in calculations. Also, too many men on the field is a five yard penalty, you don't just play the down again. I do appreciate that the game they were watching involved Texas Tech, since Mike Leach was a big fan of going for it on fourth down.
Mike Leach was, but the show is set in the early 1990s, meaning Texas Tech's coach is Spike Dykes. Mike Leach is still an offensive coordinator at Iowa Wesleyan at this time.
0:36 Sheldon forgot to factor in their average yards per run. Statistically speaking running has a higher percentage of getting a first down in short yardage situations. Where as passing the ball...well...when you pass the ball 5 things can happen and 4 of them are bad.
@@Chris-fo9ds Fumble, Sack, INT, Incompletion, Completion short of the first down are all negatives. Completion past the first down is the only positive. Sack and INT can't happen in a run.
My mother is a big Cowboy Fan and (Texas Longhorn fan). No brothers in family to play football...but my little sister was a cheer leader. Never missed a high school football game...and I hated football. My mom was a football fanatic. That's just the way it was ...we never missed a game...and I hated it! BUT I know the rules, how the game is played...and I LOVED Roger Staubach. Anyone remember the Minnesota, Vikings game...? The game where Roger threw the HAIL MARY pass to Drew Pearson? We were at a wedding for a cousin (held at Dallas First Baptist Church when Dr Kriswell was still pastor)..my mom had a transistor radio and ear phone up her sleeve listening to the football game during wedding. The groom, best man and other male guests kept coming up to mom asking about the score etc (Dallas was losing). Then during the reception my mom yelled out..."WE WON"! The whole place went nuts! The bride was not happy! But everyone else loved it...that's how serious football is in Texas.
You know what is funny is this actually true now. Football is not always about physical force, some of those games are won with the power of the brain.
That's because they banned wedge formations. That's the limit of my football knowledge, that wedge formations are tremendous physical force that can be devastating to the other team. Don't ask me any other football questions, I learned that from a guy who made national news breaking up 'pro Viet Cong' rallies in the late 60s.
The power of the brain has always been a dominant force in football. One of the better examples is from the Patriots-Rams superbowl. The Rams had an awesome offense that no one could stop, until they ran into Bill Belichicks defense in the Super Bowl. Belichick drew up a perfect defense that stonewalled the Rams. Even better, everyone the Rams played the next year copied that defense and the Rams offense sputtered all year.
This is such a cool bit because Sheldon is 100% correct. There are a growing number of high schools who NEVER punt in football anymore. It's working it's way into the college and pro game as well. Teams are a lot more likely to go for it on 4th down near middlefield as an example.
Makes you wonder if Sheldon's dad ever thought of taking Sheldon to Vegas.
He's a man of God! So he only used Sheldon to win high High Shcool football games untill Sheldon's grades started dropping
No but Malcolm's dad did

Steve Swangler Haha That is hilarious when I clearly did and you did not.He said the defense gives up points 77% of the time or worse.77% was the minimum amount.
Morkim287 You are wrong.Watch it again.
“I never had any doubt coach”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The most satisfying BOOYAH in sitcom history!
I feel like she should’ve said: BAZINGA!
Meemaw: “ok, you can tell me……who’s his REAL daddy?!!” 😂😂😂😂
When I was ten and wrote a program to print amortization schedules, this was in the early 80's..
I think it was the first time nurdy me and my fireman , highschool football playing , step dad connected.
Back then the bank would charge a fee for them. As he owned several properties this would get expensive.
Then he told the church pastor about it and I started making them for others. I don't think I'd ever been proud of anything before. My mom's hypercritical and being on welfare we had moved so often I was always in trouble at school. (I attended 13 different public schools in total)
About the same time I took my first standardized tests and was moved from the learn disabilities classes to the advanced placement college credit courses.
Now I'm an engineer.
man this show really sets the record straight about Sheldon's dad. When it mattered, he paid attention to his son.
Is it me or does Sheldon seem more like a 90s show with lessons that are taught then just entertainment like it’s the show it spins off from? Both great shows but I like Sheldon coopers show
George really is a wholesome dad. Hes not the best husband, but he is a good father
And then there's the old chargers coach..... Mr. Staley himself
😂😂🤣 "stupid brother"
"never had any doubt"
"cAn I sEnD iN tHe PuNtInG tEaM?"
Idk why my brain processes Sheldon's voice if I am reading something informative
There's an old saying: Fortune favors the daring.
It also favours the prepared
You have to respect how much George has faith in his son but he is a genius after all 😆
Proud mom amd dad moment
Today an entire data analysis team in almost all the sport sits doing exact thing sheldon did, infact they also use Game Theory to better off the strategies.
So many variables that Sheldon doesn't take into consideration. For example, he says that you are successful 50% of the time that you go for it on 4th down. But doesn't consider that pretty much every time that they went for it on 4th down, it was 4th and less than 3 yards. Going for it on let's say 4th and 12 every time would make that 50% drop tremendously.
You're not wrong but if you knew you were going on 4th, your playbook is open on 3rd and 12 to run a screen, draw or short pass that the defense typically concedes and now it's 4th and 3.
Yeah, the calculation is a little too simplistic as Sheldon has presented it. Stuff like relative offensive and defensive strength (going for it vs a team with a good offense and poor defense is better than vs a team with a poor offense and good defense), yardage to 1st down, score conversion % for both teams from expected field position in both situations, the score and time left etc. Still worth looking into though if the aggregate numbers are that good.
And since they added a Too Many Men penalty and still hadn't converted, they were at least 4th and 6 when how dad first said go for it.
Its just a TV show!
It's statistics, meaning that he got information from previous games (or has studied winning probability of football) and concludes that 50% of the teams that go for the fourth will score, and it is shown statistically that 48% of the cases that go for the fourth down score
Statistics doesn't take variables into account, every team going on the fourth down that loses or wins will be collected and analyzed into chances
So when Sheldon says 50%, he means that, let's say, previous 100 teams out of 200 that have gone for fourth down score regardless of which yard teams are on, of course he doesn't take variables into account, it is how it is
I like how George, though he doesn't understand, appreciates his son's intelligence. I think the most supportive thing George did was try to listen to what his son has to say....wish Sheldon knew about this as he got older.....maybe I should watch this series
Miss him man 🫡
What great fathers total on his little boys ❤️
After that IRS saga??!! I will bet anything on that boy if I were George 😂🤣
The face George makes at 2:39 is when he realizes Sheldon's theory is right, and he has full confidence in it before the play even happens. Which is why he chimes in "did I ever tell you about my tax refund?" alluding to another situation when he seriously doubted Sheldon but was wrong. George's way of saying "I trust my son."
I love this scene because it captures a truth of life, if the logic behind what you're doing is complicated most people will write you off as a fool before they try to understand it. So as the great Stan Lee said, "if you know in your heart that it's a good idea, never let anyone tell you otherwise."
I love how Sheldon's mother is always knitting. It seems so fun!🧶
Sheldon was the first person to bring analytics to football lol
Sheldon is really ahead of his time. Going for it on 4th down was really rare back then.
Missy’s “gotta” lol 😂
It matters if it's fourth and one, fourth and five, or fourth and fifteen, which sheldon didn't appear to include in calculations. Also, too many men on the field is a five yard penalty, you don't just play the down again. I do appreciate that the game they were watching involved Texas Tech, since Mike Leach was a big fan of going for it on fourth down.
Mike Leach was, but the show is set in the early 1990s, meaning Texas Tech's coach is Spike Dykes. Mike Leach is still an offensive coordinator at Iowa Wesleyan at this time.
Great show
One of the few shows that cast almost every single part perfectly. Reminds of The Middle. So well acted and written.
Oh no no, dont show me this after George Cooper just died!!!
Remember a famous man once said "Always goin' for it, never punt fourth down. Last call, Hail Mary, Prescott touchdown"
0:36 Sheldon forgot to factor in their average yards per run. Statistically speaking running has a higher percentage of getting a first down in short yardage situations. Where as passing the ball...well...when you pass the ball 5 things can happen and 4 of them are bad.
3 things can happen and 2 of them are bad,
@@Chris-fo9ds Fumble, Sack, INT, Incompletion, Completion short of the first down are all negatives. Completion past the first down is the only positive. Sack and INT can't happen in a run.
and later on in life, an old video of george sr helped sheldon win the nobel prize
life always goes full circle
The book Scorecasting was probably the inspiration for this episode.
A Dad never shuns off his son no matter the circumstances
I don't understand this game, neither I understood what Sheldon has said, but what ever it was, it felt good at the end🤣
My mother is a big Cowboy Fan and (Texas Longhorn fan).
No brothers in family to play football...but my little sister was a cheer leader. Never missed a high school football game...and I hated football. My mom was a football fanatic. That's just the way it was ...we never missed a game...and I hated it!
BUT I know the rules, how the game is played...and I LOVED Roger Staubach. Anyone remember the Minnesota, Vikings game...?
The game where Roger threw the HAIL MARY pass to Drew Pearson? We were at a wedding for a cousin (held at Dallas First Baptist Church when Dr Kriswell was still pastor)..my mom had a transistor radio and ear phone up her sleeve listening to the football game during wedding. The groom, best man and other male guests kept coming up to mom asking about the score etc (Dallas was losing). Then during the reception my mom yelled out..."WE WON"! The whole place went nuts! The bride was not happy!
But everyone else loved it...that's how serious football is in Texas.
That’s fantastic, now they got two things to celebrate
I like how his dad had faith in him
You know what is funny is this actually true now. Football is not always about physical force, some of those games are won with the power of the brain.
That's because they banned wedge formations. That's the limit of my football knowledge, that wedge formations are tremendous physical force that can be devastating to the other team. Don't ask me any other football questions, I learned that from a guy who made national news breaking up 'pro Viet Cong' rallies in the late 60s.
The power of the brain has always been a dominant force in football. One of the better examples is from the Patriots-Rams superbowl. The Rams had an awesome offense that no one could stop, until they ran into Bill Belichicks defense in the Super Bowl. Belichick drew up a perfect defense that stonewalled the Rams. Even better, everyone the Rams played the next year copied that defense and the Rams offense sputtered all year.
I love that the guy playing Sheldon dad is also the guy that plays Leonard's bully
Sheldon!!! MVP!
love his mom lol
Sheldon should be part of an analytics staff for NFL teams.
“Do you want to see the tax return I got?” Was his reason for sticking with the plan.
Freaking Awesome👍👍 Sheldon Rules❤️❤️🤗🤗😘😘🥰🥰😍😍❤️❤️
I love this show even more than BBT.
That's just awesome!
That Booyahhh was so satisfying 😁
One of my favourite scenes.
This has got to be my favorite scene in this series.
In an alternate Universe, Sheldon becomes Bill James for football
This is such a cool bit because Sheldon is 100% correct. There are a growing number of high schools who NEVER punt in football anymore. It's working it's way into the college and pro game as well. Teams are a lot more likely to go for it on 4th down near middlefield as an example.
Pretty sure Dan Campbell took this and went for it every time.
Nice😊
"Pondi is the coolest"
There’s a high school football coach who does this - he never punts and has won several state championships.
And he always goes for 2 and kicks onside. He’s a man with giant balls for sure!
