OT: Mike Leach has 10 plays

[ThunderHawk]

The genius of this is that the defense is behind the 8 ball because they can't use your formations to sniff out plays.

He also has a Juris Doctorate. Interesting dude.

It appears to be from some school called Pepperdine. Is that school accredited and in good standing? Sounds like one of those places where you have to take the Baby Bar in California. Never even heard of it.

You've never heard of Pepperdine? It's a legit school in California, and IIRC back in the day, that's where ABC used to hold the old "Superstars" athletic competitions. I also think that's where they did "Battle of the Network Stars as Well."

But don't hold that against them. But yeah, it's a good school.

 

[okeefe4prez]

it's a good school.

According to whom? I just checked USNews and it seems to be unranked and charges $54k per year for tuition.

Pepperdine has more of a basketball reputation. Dennis Johnson (Seattle, Phoenix, Boston, three rings) went there. They've sent others to the NBA as well.

Another claim to fame. They knocked Indiana out of the NCAA tournament in 2000. It was Bobby Knight's last game as Indiana coach.

Here's a good one.

Funny thing is, he's absolutely correct. That is the way it goes down.

My niece was looking at Pepperdine to go to but chose another college in Wheaton, IL. Pepperdine is actually a relatively young university when compared to most. I think of it as a lot of tree huggers go to it.

Read that this morning and loved it! He absolutely cracks me up.

The zone blocking scheme creates a similar situation. One play can result in 100 different options depending on defensive alignment, formation, and reaction.

all culminating into the back gaining 2 yards.

 

[SCHawkeye2]

It kind of is genius. The teams obviously work the most on reading the defense and reacting correctly. So, they practice one play at a time and master it and its reads. There is something to be said about limiting plays for players and doing the plays well then have a ton of plays. They can always run the 7 plays out of a few different formations.

On the other side, could you image the shit Ferentz would take on here if it came out Iowa only had 7 plays?

Iowa has more than 7 plays?

One of my favorite quotes is "If you focus on everything, you focus on nothing". I periodically state this to my staff.

Does the cap know this?

Pretty sure Ken Starr served as its dean at one time.

Yes, THAT Ken Starr.

Wow! I really have no idea what the guy did wrong, because I already know how to swear, so I don't play golf, but I'm guessing the guy got in trouble for playing with his balls on the golf course?

 

[DDThompson]

Here's a good one.

He almost made himself smile about three times there. Funny guy!
