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."
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.
@@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
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
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 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
"Remind me to tell you about the refund I got from the IRS." Early 90's, 3 kids, EOC at its highest point. Hell, yeah, I bet he got back like $3500 easy. Maybe as much as $5k.
What i don't get is if US is really great as much as they say they are then whu the fuck do the citizens need to do their own taxes? Should the government tell you how much you own them on tax? And why is your health care so goddamn expensive? An ambulance can actually cost from a couple hundred to a thousand dollars? I swear man US is batshit crazy all front but the back is burning.
@@MrLoverboy6565 Yeah our taxes suck, and our president, and our healthcare, and education, but it is still a very prosperous country and anyone born there is still lucky compared to most of the world.
@@Terry-nr5qn yeah but how sad it is that a "prosperous country" cares more about its military power than their citizens health. and how sad it is that they see veterans as disposable that after they served they are most of the time fucked, and correct me if im wrong but is it true that military service in the US doesn't count as a work experience in most cases?
@@MrLoverboy6565 their taxing system and medical system is fucked up, its one of the worst in the world, granted their treatment is one of the best however it's very very overpriced and even you have to pay a high amount just to get an ambulance. However I really believe trump was a way better candidate than Hillary for potus and like him or hate him, his policies is much better than Obama's.
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.

Never give up possession voluntarily,make the other team fight for it.
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
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
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.
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
I played on football fields like that one more than once...up thru HS....all beat up grass n bumps....never thought about it until I saw this clip...it was like a time machine
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.
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.
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.
It also shows that he’s supportive in his own way. Which is really awesome to see.
Dude I never saw it that way. You really just opened my eyes. Holy shit. Cinema studies major?
@@carenxatu5962 Be honest, have you ever cranked one out to Young Sheldon?
@@rowofwargnomes shut up
This is based on a real life team that never punts on 4th, they do better doing so

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
That Booyahhh was so satisfying 😁
love his mom lol
I like how his dad had faith in him
One of the few shows that cast almost every single part perfectly. Reminds of The Middle. So well acted and written.
Missy’s “gotta” lol 😂
This has got to be my favorite scene in this series.
The most satisfying BOOYAH in sitcom history!
“I never had any doubt coach”
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love that the guy playing Sheldon dad is also the guy that plays Leonard's bully
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.
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
legend says Mary still keep knitting that thing to this day
I played on football fields like that one more than once...up thru HS....all beat up grass n bumps....never thought about it until I saw this clip...it was like a time machine
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.
Ohhh booyah! Wahahaha! Proud Dad and Mom there.
I don't understand this game, neither I understood what Sheldon has said, but what ever it was, it felt good at the end🤣
Never had any doubt though, never had any doubt!!!!
My favorite shows BBT and Young Sheldon...
After that IRS saga??!! I will bet anything on that boy if I were George 😂🤣
Sheldon is really ahead of his time. Going for it on 4th down was really rare back then.
man this show really sets the record straight about Sheldon's dad. When it mattered, he paid attention to his son.
Ohhh, BOOYAH!
There's an old saying: Fortune favors the daring.
It also favours the prepared
Sheldon should be part of an analytics staff for NFL teams.
Sheldon was the first person to bring analytics to football lol
The kid next to Mary wearing Oakley Blades. Awesome, had that same pair.
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.
I love this show even more than BBT.
Dan Campbell took this to heart
i agree with Sheldon if i were a football coach we'd never see the punting team other then the extra point after the touchdown
Dan Campbell must have a Sheldon in his office.
That’s how the coach never punts started 😂
and later on in life, an old video of george sr helped sheldon win the nobel prize
life always goes full circle
A Dad never shuns off his son no matter the circumstances
I'd love to see a Young George Sr. and Mary series
“Do you want to see the tax return I got?” Was his reason for sticking with the plan.
