Never change the game plan at the 10 seconds call, you'll lose!
When ever you have a choice between defensive and offensive, choose offensive. He can't mug you if you've just side shot him on the run through!
If you see an opportunity to take 2 of the opposition for the loss of yourself, do it!
If you shoot yourself in the hand, grin and bear it, pain is better than ridicule!
If you think a bunker sucks, it probably does, ignore the goober who wants you to go there unless you totally trust his judgement, or are prepared to sleep with his girlfriend, sister, cat in revenge!
