Your Favorite Kind of Win??

This goes for football or B-Ball mainly
1. A close game shootout
2. A close game defensive battle
3. A blowout start to finish
4. A come from behind win late
For me I like the comeback win. Don't get me wrong, I love a good blowout as much as anyone....especially against rivals. But something about seeing an opponents fan base getting their hopes up and all excited for no reason...just to have it ripped from them late does it for me lol.

The comeback wins are great. Although in basketball I like the “supposed to wins” I’m not a huge basketball fan so when I watch a game where my team is favored I expect them to win. I don’t like watching losing basketball. It’s boring dull and disappointing.

Blowout win, some of the games during the last three years have made me a nervous wreck, come on offense.

The kind where we end up with more points than the other team at the end of the game.

I don't got an answer that makes sense for this question. ALL wins are good.

And, although comeback wins are also good, I do NOT enjoy the stomach churning distress they cause me!
And let's face it, it has been a long time since we had a good, old fashioned BLOWOUT against a quality opponent. Heck, even in the days of Deshaun, and then Trevor, some of our wins were of the Big-12 / Pac-12 basketball score variety. The 42-36 classic against Lemeur Jackson and Lewisville comes immediately to mind, as does the 45-37 ACC Championship Game win over North Carolina in 2015.
Ironically, the 44-16 beatdown of Bama in the title game of the 2018 season is, to me, the last real blowout win over a real quality opponent. Others followed, but that was for sure the Pinochle of Our Success.

Louisville 2016 is like the perfect win.... you're blowing them out early, other team comes back but you're still confident because we were blowing them out earlier, then as expected your team comes back, and then you know the D is going to hold on for the win.

Close low scoring.
1967 vs NCState … 2005 (or so) vs South Carolina, the 13-9 win. Both of these were awesome!

Aside from any win:
It really depends on the opponent and circumstances. Anytime we're an underdog, give me the come from behind walk-off win. Nothing sweeter. If we are heavily favored, I prefer a romp from the coin toss to the final whistle. If we are evenly matched, shoot out or defensive battle, take you pick as long as we get the W.

The Trevor Booker blowout of Duke at Littlejohn a few years back. I think it was 70 something to 40 something.

I prefer a good old fashioned woodshed beating.***

Reasons.....
Doing it against someone that nobody expected you to do it too.
Shows just the shear domination you impose on other teams and the sport.
Most of all it gets you in the playoffs better if not...you're definitely in all the conversations.
