The two point conversion

This has been a huge argument amongst my friends for the past season of football.

I am an advocate, a fan, the only spokesperson left... of the 2-pt conversion, to say the least. Most of my friends believe "the extra point" is always the way to go, as the 2-pt conversion will almost never be successful.

My argument:
1. What is the point of playing the game if you are going to be safe ?
2. If teams consistently practiced scoring with a 2-pt conversion like they practice kicking the extra point perhaps it would be more successful more consistently.
3. Go big or Go home.

My friends argument:
The chances of scoring on a 2-pt conversion is slim to none - the extra point is a given.
This is all.

Mind you, all my friends believe this which questions the guts vs glory feeling deep in my stomach which I hold for some of my friends. How can you patsy out and just take the point b/c it's a given?
Who doesn't go for the gold?
Were we raised to just take a giveaway and not fight for something bigger?
What happened to the passion of the game?

All I have to say is kudos to a coach who will go down in history not only for winning a great bowl game with a 2-pt conversion but for teaching his team players that "Life does not give you any free points...if you want to win...YOU TAKE THEM."

Bravo Idaho Head Coach Robb Akey - That's how you play the game!!
