Men, I've been reading this board for awhile and I love it. I'm a coach without a team right now, but I'm wondering if you could give me some help.
My company is designing a new restaurant concept. It's simple American fair...burgers, fries, dogs, shakes, etc. One idea that hit the white board was to name menu items after football plays. It isn't totally necessary that the play call actually describes the food...what IS important is that the play call is FUN TO SAY.
The hope is that we'll engage our customers in the ordering process in a fun way that just might strike an emotional chord. We might even associate the name with a specific team or school if we can get some big name schools to contribute.
It would be great if we could associate the play name with a memorable real-life football event. For example, does anyone know the actual play when Montana hit Dwight Clark in the endzone in the '82 league championship..."the catch"...as it has been dubbed.
Another example, randomly, would be for a hot dog with relish...it might be "Texas Left 48 Pickle".
So please post those play calls (offense or defense) that are super-fun to say. This may or may not go anywhere, but we'll have some fun anyway. If you'd like to offer a brief description of the play, that would be great.
Thank you...mkirby

I used to go to a brewery that served a 'blitzburger' that was pretty killer. Ronnie Lott used to be famous for delivering what he called a "Woo Hit", might be a fun drink or something  |

A few years ago we named a play "Cowboy" and made that play on 2. Certain plays for us are on 2, while all others are on 1.
This makes certain that we don't jump.
This started a small trend, as everybody knows cowboys carried two guns. Well they didn't but it works for us.
All "Cowboy" plays on 2, such as "Outlaw" is also on 2.
A couple of weeks ago, needing a bootleg play that we wouldn't call "bootleg" which is already used-I named it Pirate.
Boot became booty which became Pirate, but they started calling it Pirate Booty, and it stuck.
A few years ago we had a naked boot that we just called naked.
Without blinking one kid said, "can we run naked, we want to run naked." I said that is just not going to happen, and we still think it's funny.

Paper Towel Play
Years ago an experienced coach gave me a trick play that he drew up on a paper towel from the restroom. I put that play in a binder, pulled it out during the season and drew it up in practice one day. Kids asked what it was called-I just called it Paper Towel Play. it stuck, still use it.

outlawjoseywales, great banter, thanks for the input.
I can't think of naked without thinking of "neked" as my high school coach Wayman Creel called it. He used to tell us we needed to eat bananas before games so we'd have plenty of "phosphorus" to avoid cramps. (Of course, he meant potassium.) There are a number of "Creel-ism's" we still laugh about 20 years later.

Any coach who has used the Wyatt system knows The Wedge.... and in this case it can describe food. Instead of a traditional salad, cut a wedge of lettuce (1/4 of the head of lettuce) and serve it up with dressing and small diced up tomatoes and cucumbers on top....that is your Wedge right there. An upscale steakhouse up here serves their "salad" in the same way.  We played a team that was hell bent on stopping our Gut play and their D Coordinator, a friend of mine, designed a scheme that they called "Gut Buster".  Surely, somehow, there is a menu item in that name  Good luck! |

Okie Dog Pinch, as someone above said. It's such a sweet call haha!
KFD Zero (I'm writing a playbook now and I let my friend name this 7-man rush. He claims it means "Kill F-ck Die," with "Zero" meaning man coverage).
Anything with "Fire Zone" at the end of the call... Strong Scrape Fire Zone, Frisco Fire Zone, Shark Fire Zone, Rover Magic Fire Zone, etc. Should be versatile, just plug in a menu item and put "Fire Zone" after it. For example, Dog Fire Zone could be a hot dog, Steak Fire Zone could be a steak... you get the idea.

Sometimes when we really need a player to step up a little...we include his name in a call. One time, we had a great kid who played tackle for us. Always wanted to run the ball. So we let him. Except he ran it from the tackle position. His last name was Miller.....so naturally...when we were ready for him to run it....the play was simply called "Miller Time". Another time we were having trouble with a kid, discipline wise, we were constantly on his butt about behavior and such. Sometimes you feel like you're on the kid so much...it's always negative. We felt like he needed some positive so we named a stunt after him...that only he ran. His last name was Cooper. "Cooper Cha Cha" was the stunt.

I would go with something that gives them three choices and call it the triple option.
